Bitcoin Forum

i am new to bitcoins and just found this forum  8)
where should i start? ::)

Start by visiting Blockchain and setting up your wallet. Once that is done, go visit some faucets so you can learn how Bitcoin and transactions work. After that, there is no limit to what you can do if you have the funds and the intellect to do it.

Good luck to you, and watch out for scammers, they are everywhere in this forum.

Depend on your interest , mining , trading ,gambling etc.
you can check that in every section which related to that things in this forum

hey buddy you are in the right place.......you should follow some rules....

1.Give some time to this forum & try to learn
2.lot of scammers so be careful.
3.Don't invest what you can't afford to loose
4.Don't Gamble

if you need any help feel free to pm.....

The best way to learn is by doing mining, but don't invest in any hardware as it is unlikely to ROI. Just use whatever GPU or CPU you have just for "testing". Don't test for long as you would break your computer and you are wasting electricity..

Hey, check out these link if you wana learn more. You can start by creating an address. Go to blockchain (https://blockchain.info) and create one.

Remember that bitcoin is a payment system. It is not a get rich quick thing, so don't listen to any offers of wealth. They are scams. if you really want to use bitcoin then:

1. Choose an exchange in your home country. Some exchanges are not trustworthy.

2. Set up a wallet on your computer. I would not use any online wallet for more than $100 worth of bitcoin.

3. Fund your account and be prepared to give your identity. You may link your bank account or use a USPS money order. Do not use any system that has chargeback options, such as PayPal.

4. After purchasing at the exchange, move the bitcoin you bought to your wallet. Unless you have sole control of your private keys, you do not have bitcoin.

5. It is very important that you now make several copies of your wallet.dat file. Store them safely, because if you lose this file your bitcoins are gone forever. No exceptions.

At this point you have coins, you can get more when you want, and you can restore them if your computer dies. When you shop online you will notice that the transactions are done in minutes, you provide no information that allows an attacker to get more of your coins, and you are only paying a few pennies to send money anywhere.

6. Cut up your credit cards!

Dont trust anyone with your money
never send money first
Dont trust this forum

Since you are new here have you tried mining bitcoin?

thank you all for responds i have been reading the links you suggested. i think i keep hanging out in this forum to findout more

i think it is kinda soon for mining for me, but do you have anything in mind?

Well, I wouldn't recommend mining cause none seems to be profitable now..

The next thing you should do is create a wallet in blockchain.info and visit some of the faucets that provide bitcoin for free, and if it already has a lot you can follow the cloud bitcoin bitcoin mining, and partly bitcoin exchange you with your fiat currency to spend, happy collect bitcoin ...  ;D

Joining bitcointalk is the best way to start learning about bitcoin lol, and so you are on the right track.
First you need to choose a bitcoin wallet, learn the basics about receiving and sending bitcoin, and learn to keep your bitcoin safe. You can explore ways to buy and earn bitcoin afterwards.

I checked some links that you posted and its helped me, I wanted to get more details. Thank you

If you prefer watching videos to reading paragraphs, you can try the Khan Academy's videos.

Read some manual about bitcoin and see the ultimate documentary about bitcoin. If you want to earn something, try to get some mBTC in a Faucet, or go in a signature campaign  ;)

You have to stay with us oh this forum if you want to learn more about bitcoin, if you have any questions there is always someone for answer you ! good luck in the bitcoin world ;D

welcome, explore the faucets and use it as test money

Welcome! Just wanted to say I hope you enjoy finding out how deep the rabbit hole goes!

The first thing you should do is reading about bitcoin to get some general knowledge. Then decide if you will invest or not.

Try joining a signature campaign! There are a couple campaigns that are still looking for le newbies: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0 for more information.

While you're still learning about bitcoins, faucets are a good way to start, not for the profit aspect so much as the experience. I'm still a relatively new member, and the community here is really great.

just watch out for scammers. esp signatures that dont pay lol.

First you should bookmark http://www.coindesk.com/information/bitcoin-glossary/ and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0 so that you can re-visit the pages and check the meaning of some bitcoin terms like "confirmation", "private key" in the future.

You should start reading the guides you found in this thread. It won't be easy to understand bitcoin, and so don't get frustrated when you are lost in the articles. Feel free to ask your questions here or on reddit when you need help.
