Title: BitcoinHelp.net - the best damn (beginner's) guide to Bitcoin
Post by: brotherbitcoin on July 17, 2014, 03:22:28 PM

https://bitcoinhelp.net (https://bitcoinhelp.net)

Howdy y'all.  I've been putting this site together for well over 6 months now, and I figure it's high time I gave it a proper announcement here on bitcointalk.

The site's goal is to be the most straightforward, down-to-earth resource for learning Bitcoin on the interwebs. I'd like to make Bitcoin more accessible, and more fun, for non-geeks, geezers, and laggards.

Because personally, I think the informational sites that show up when you google "Bitcoin" (i.e. Bitcoin wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page), bitcoin.org (https://bitcoin.org), weusecoins.com (https://www.weusecoins.com)) are hard to navigate, boring as hell, or just don't provide enough up front key information that newbs need to have easy access to.

Now, Bitcoin Help (https://bitcoinhelp.net) ain't where I want it to be yet. Some of the content up there is drier than Jan Brewer's (http://www.addictinginfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jan-Brewer.jpg) cooch on a hot day in the Sonoran desert. So I'm hoping to get feedback from y'all on the following:

  • identification of any misinformation
  • suggestions on presentation of content, verbiage, writing quality & style
  • site layout and aesthetics

It'd be much appreciated. So much so that if you find any info that is heinously wrong or misleading, I will kick ya back up to .01 BTC, depending on how severe the bullshit is.

You should remove coinabul from your affiliate earning list..

They are known scammers.  :o

Amagimetals and agora commodities have affiliate earnings.

"If you're privy to other Bitcoin affiliate programs that aren't listed here, give me a holler and I'll put 'em up faster than a coked up jack rabbit on a hot, greasy griddle."

this is one example of the babyish and off-putting language used almost throughout. one of these affiliates has no link, about the third one down.

actually, it's pretty good overall

I understand they've got many scammer accusations against them, and also pending lawsuit - but can you provide definitive references though?  The threads I perused seems to indicate they've just got crap customer service and slow shipping times. I'll at least add a note in the description about their scammer accusations.

Thank ya kindly, I'll add them to the list.

Thanks friend, I'll make the update.  The target audience is newbs and the technically challenged, so the aim is to make the verbiage downright simple.

But I'm fixing to publish more content that is more geared towards bitcoin-heads, such as:

- a big chart of the Bitcoin exchange rate history with annotated Bitcoin news/events. UPDATE: https://bitcoinhelp.net/know/more/price-chart-history
- the biggest Bitcoin losses (i.e. those due to no wallet backup, forgotten passwords, sent to wrong address, etc)
- reviews of the best escrow services, mixer services, and so on

I'm also accepting new ideas for quality content. So for all you interested writers out there, submit me a proposal with an outline (see the contact page (https://bitcoinhelp.net/contact) for email + PGP pubkey).  I've  paid up to 1 BTC for some of the articles already on the site (though pay for future jobs will be dependent on experience and the quality of the writing).

I'd definitely be interested in writing for you seeing that you seem willing to pay fair. As for topics... that'd be Brother Bitcoin's choosing as 1) I love all things crypto, 2) wrote a handy guide (https://ia902304.us.archive.org/24/items/AltcoinWarriorHandbook/Bitcoin_Essentials_Handbook_2nd_Ed-v2_1.pdf) myself targeted at BTC nooBs (which you're more than welcome to include within your BTC resources) and 3) simply love crypto projects geared at lowering the barrier for the "technically challenged".

I highly encourage you to check out my writing portfolio:
