Thank you The Pharmacist. I am doing my reading and I am finding it interesting as I am digging. After reading you, it started to make sense for me LOL. However, the amount of money I have seen the forum gives for the signature, is not really much. Spamming and shitposting for that amount is really waste of time. Where is this Bitcoin Discussion by the way?

@hilariousetc, thanks for the response. I see there is a link to report and hopefully I will use it often. It really looks annoying. How do I buy a copper membership and how much is that little amount? Image is one thing I am missing a lot  Smiley

@seoincorporation, I will try to engage with more conversations and hopefully we will be able to learn stuffs from each others. I would not mind to use you lots help to understand the forum better.

@samarnaaz, what token you are talking about mate? I really don't have any clue. Hopefully someone else on the forum will be able to assist you.

Note: This is an ongoing project and an approach to experiment the admin's (theymos) proposal of Idea: Courses. I can make mistakes, please feel free to review the tutorial clips and help me to improve the experience for the members in need.
Also, voluntary proofreading for the contents will be highly appreciated.



Version updates...
1.1.2: Images are visible now.
1.1.1: archive - code
1.1.0: archive - code


There are actually a lot of good tutorials already exist on the forum however all of them are basically text versions. Visual learning is the best and quickest learning method, besides having the green signal from the admin in mind, this is my approach to be a supportive forum member.

This project is for Bitcoin wallet "HOW TOs". Depending on the responses of this project, the next projects I have in mind are...
- Pretty Good Privacy "HOW TOs"
- Some of the forum features "HOW TOs" and possible others.

Getting started with your first Bitcoin wallet (Desktop wallet):
We will use Electrum wallet for these video clips. We have everything we need in an Electrum wallet. Please download it from here. Since I use Windows, my tutorials will be Windows version. If you are using a different OS then I hope you will figure out a way to work with your OS by using the idea of these video clips. Thanks for understanding.

We are not going to use the wallet we have created earlier. For this section, we have created two new wallets. One is the receiver wallet and the other one is the sender wallet.

kitty94: So, I am ok to post anything on any thread? I do not need to engage with a conversation, make my points, find a solution etc. But my question is why do I need to talk about something which has not asked. I have seen those people are just repeating same contents. 

Jet Cash: What is ignore a member? I assume OP means original post?

Hi guys,
Please take it easy if I sound stupid. I joined this forum yesterday and since then I am having a lot of reads. I have staked my address as well. They say, I need it if my account gets compromised. Very interesting community however I am noticing, there are a lot of people who are spamming in discussions. They are not actually replying on the topic but posting something which is not even related to the question asked by the person (the one created the thread). Very strange!

This is the most interesting yet panicking one for me...

Look at this user: tharoosta - http://archive.is/c9vT6

I found him on this page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4554694.0

He is always including a telegram logo, a big image with his comments. It really looks annoying.


My eyes are hurting after reading this guy.

PS: Why don't I see any image when I click preview? Please click here to see the image of the above user.
