Bitcoin Forum

Hi, am a newbie member, I just joined bitcointalk recently. Have been navigating through many activities going on here and was enlightened pretty well even though not up to satisfaction. But I really commend the efforts of other senior members for finding possible way to make this forum convenient for all and also new members joining in.

First, i’d like if new members like us will have a separate forum to be given some tutorials on how to make posts, reply and engage in people’s talk or opinions needed.

Secondly, if we can have accesss to website or links that will teach us more about the forum. Most especially tutorial videos(most important) on YouTube to guide us through in this forum.

I’ll be glad if this request is been looked into for the benefit of all, most especially new members.

Thank you🙏🏽

There's no separate forum, there's no (official) youtube channel to provide guidelines.

However, you can start with this for forum rules- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
You can start with this for ranks- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0

And this for posting techniques- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4667594.0

There's unofficial youtube channel for guidelines but not much info- https://youtube.com/channel/UCkqAHDcKnxjRZieH8F_9zLg

And the most interesting "TheBitcointalkShow"- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5351302.0

As a newbie, all you need to do first is to read the forum rules.

here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

Actually, there's no tutorial needed to learn how to post, once you read all the rules you will be confident that you will not make mistakes violating the rules. If you have knowledge, you can share, if you like to ask, you can surely get answers from the members here, it doesn't matter if the member is a newbie or high rank as long as they are willing to share their answers to help.

Just take it easy, if I may ask, what is your purpose in joining the forum? Are you promise that you 'll make money here?

You are welcome to bitcointalk! It's not a hard thing to make a post just like the way you have done this one.
As a newbie. Go through this Newbies-Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0).
Secondly, everything you want to know concerning the forum is discussed on meta baord  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0)
Lastly, don't plagiarized content of others or any materials, you can always make references by making a source link at the bottom for further reading.

For example.

Hello and welcome to the Bitcointalk forum. I am also new to this site, however after reading through the forum activities and postings by our seniors, I found these topics to be beneficial for us as newcomers.
1.
What we beginners are suppose to read before making post in order to avoid mistakes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0
2. Some guide to beginners in the forum by some of our senior colleagues in the forum.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275357.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3113022.0
I have been going through those topics too, and I fund them helpful, I hope we get more guide here.

I do not quite understand what you mean by seperate forum, did you mean "seperate section/board", but whatever you meant there is nothing of that such, you can basically learn all you need to learn by making appropriate use of the search button and by asking questions/interacting with other users in any board, if you do not feel comfortable posting outside the B&H section, you can stick to it for now
You do not need any external website or link to learn about the forum, you'll learn about the forum by being active here, reading the rules and very importantly, asking questions. Like i have already said, the search button would be very useful to you if you make good use of it. Having said that, whatever you do on Youtube make sure you are careful, there are a lot of fake and misleading videos that would deceive you and would cause you to lose funds, it is much better here.

Actually have heard about bitcointalk for a long time now from a friend of mine and he told me he makes money here too. If my aim was for the money, I would have joined long ago. My primary aim of joining this forum is to acquire new knowledge, learn, share ideas and know how the bitcoin market works.

Good luck then, I hope you read the links shared on this thread they are quite informative and would most likely help you here in the forum.

since little mouse shared a link to Steamtyme's youtube channel I thought I'd share the thread Steamtyme created which has the links to his video tutorial [INFO] Video resources for newbies getting started (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5200715.msg54202158#msg54202158)

There's no need to rush into things here so you're better off taking everything at your own pace.

This place is a forum, you're better off treating it as such and just replying to things you find interesting when you come across them. I assume there are guides to get people accustomed to forums if you're not used to posting on them but finding threads you want to interact with is probably the hardest part (then all that's left is finding something interesting/useful to reply with).

A dedicated board solely for "How to" guides has been mentioned before, but I don't expect it will be implemented anytime soon due to the ongoing development of new forum software, which would make creating a separate board pointless.

Fortunately, there are members who created a compilation of threads for everyone to read.
- Beginners & Help Encyclopedia [UPD: +Electrum Board] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.msg58120908#msg58120908)
- [GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4928968.0)

I know it's a lot that's why I highly suggest you to read at least 1 to 2 thread per day until you make it a habit. And yeah, you really don't need to rush some things up.

Urgent help?
it seems this thread just wants a new rule that is only needed by the OP and not for the benefit of other new members. If you become a new member who has good knowledge, you will not ask a thing that has been provided. Use the search feature to find everything you need.
Don't ask for video tutorials, this is not the place for that, you can look for it on youtube.

Asiska02, its been more than 12 years this forum exists and for newbie like me and you, there is plenty of information about everything you need to know about Bitcoin or crypto itself.
We have to admit that most of us (the newbies) are to lazy to search and just create topics to ask for things that's been said before.
Just look around, use the search engine or the proper sub-topics and you will find everything you need.
The forum had and still have a lot of people with big knowledge about crypto and they shared information for free...

Most of your issues are solved by above replies: read before posting, youtube videos, links to forum (un)official rules, etc. I would like to give  you another resource: Search before posting and some hidden pages of the forum which are very helpful for you to more effectively searching, reading and learning.

• [Guide] Searching effectively (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276341.0)
• Hidden pages/ features on the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5243405.0)

First of all welcome to this forum and good you have navigating through this as this is good feature that without logging in you can surf through the forum exploring posts made my member but with certain restrictions also.I think if you search for bitcoin related forums then it's the number one search result and probably the best.

Why do you need another forum if you can learn all the things here only? As you were exploring different threads made by senior members just keep on doing the same and if you like to post something like contribute to the discussion or have a doubt feel free to ask.We learn best in the practical experience as you can see many newbies around who are doing good.Just follow the rules and regulations thread and post accordingly.If you want some help related to posting techniques there are some threads and here is one which i made few months back :

Posting techniques for newbies on the forum  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5346341.0)

Just keep it as discussion forum and no big problem at all and soon you will be friendly with all the things but keep learning and exploring which is best for you.
