I'm not saying the FAQ will answer every Bitcoin-related question under the sun. I'm saying it will list all questions that have been 'already been answered on the forum'. If you don't find your answer there, use the search button a couple times; and if you still don't find a satisfactory answer, sure post it. We're glad to guide you.
I am not ready to believe that every question that comes on the forum is thrown into the dustbin right away. That's not how this forum works.
I would encourage you to look at the average new persons posts. they are not lazy, they are not stupid questions like "what is a satoshi". but they are fequently and regularly attacked for asking simple questions...that may just be conversation starters in the least. You'll find both kind of people on every forum. Just because some people trash newbies and their questions doesn't mean there are no genuine people who answer such questions with dedication. Sure, the ratio is different on every forum and here the bashing might be gaining a majority - you might be right there; but you'll also find a small bunch of genuine guys who'd be glad to help you. I'd sure hope this changes and I also want majority of people to become 'nice guys' but nothing happens how we want it, right? |

You see, when people come to "check" out bitcoin on forums like this, you will be quick to tell them how anything they say is unoriginal as you have been there and done that and already discussed it a year ago already *yawn* how boring for you, right? You will let them know that they should use the search feature of the forum and spend hours searching years of posts to try to find one that manages to address their unique CURRENT question or comment. You will be sure to tell them to use google, and search through the 10s of 1000s of web pages created by bitcasino and bitfaucet sites to try to find a legit answer that is actually up-to-date.
Well... you 're right here. When I joined as newbie, I also went through a lot of frustration the same way. On the other hand, think of the people who have answered the same questions over and over, with utmost dedication and have spent hours (or even days) of time on forum answering such questions on forum and they still see the same question being posted all over the forum on daily basis from newbies who would not like to search or browse the forum. Surely they also have 'real life' outside the forum same as newbies who post the questions, right? So what I'd like to propose for both kind of people to be happy is develop a 'Grand Bitcoin FAQ - The Newbie Version' and pin it. Compile the most frequent newbie questions that have already been answered on the forum and list them under one thread. And let every newbie on the forum go through it. Maybe we can also work out some notification which alerts a newly joined member to first go through the FAQ topic before they can post any new topic. Sounds like a plan? and after reading such FAQ they will never have another question related to the basics? please tell me more of this FAQ that takes into account all levels of education and learning styles and provides them with complete comprehension upon reading... I'm not saying the FAQ will answer every Bitcoin-related question under the sun. I'm saying it will list all questions that have been 'already been answered on the forum'.

bitcoin wiki, and bitcoin.org already exist for this purpose Yup, but there are lot of newbie questions they don't cover. |

Amazon payments head Tom Taylor told Re/code that the company did indeed consider bitcoin, but eventually decided that there was not enough interest in the technology for Amazon to benefit from adopting it. What they fail to understand is the network effect. They're saying there is not enough interest in the tech for Amazon to benefit from it. But the interest will be automatically generated on vast scale if they start accepting it. It's a no-brainer. |

Lol, do you guys also receive a whole bunch of annoying letters from supplicants after having posted here?  Dying Animals, Bombed Houses, Sick Family Members, the stories are outrageous LOL, no. Probably because I am not disclosing my email address? |

Depends on your disease. Which would you prefer? Don't they gamble in Vegas ?
the hookers or the businessmen? What are the options and are the "hookers" businesswomen? Not sure, but did you see this?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=571198.0Does watching a Lunar eclipse make you Lunatic? |

Nice to see X11 coins on the list! As I suggested few posts back, there are almost no calculators that support X11 algo.

As far as I know, you need to use a single material to print a single object. Now if I have a toy which consists of plastic, some rubber and some metal, I will need to print it in 3-part process and assemble them manually, right?
That's a big hurdle. Maybe some day the technology will allow us to fill different materials in different cartridges (just like colors in 2D printers) and will print the whole object in one go!

there aren't many advantages of it but the main thing why it's so awesome is that it gives us the option to imagine that one day anything we see online we could simply print out and use it
Well, I was also thinking the same. The 3D printers are so expensive right now, but one day maybe everyone would be able to afford it just like 2D printers. Wait.. can't I just 3D-print a 3D printer? |

With root access and Xprivacy you can limit what the app is allowed to collect or see from the device.
This is useful for Android devices. For iOS, I've heard that there is a built-in support for this; you can control app permissions on app-by-app basis. So if you think 'reading contacts' is not necessary for your news-reader app, you can deny the permission. |

edit: Miracly those coins showed up just after posting this?!!?
That was me, I'm the BTC fairy. I've got your back. Feel free to ask for more.  BitStamp is a good exchange, far from Gox. Don't sweat. |

You can check out and/or connect with the user "dishwara" on this board, he ran a GPU mining operation some years ago (and got burnt badly in the process). No idea where in India he's from though.
Thanks Sukrim, I am talking to dishwara but it seems he stopped mining, Looks like mining not possible in Indian environment Thanks, Mitts Hi Mitts I am actively mining alt-coins on regular basis but my experience is that the new X11 algo runs much more power efficient and also runs much cooler than scrypt on GPU, so it has much better chance of mining in Indian climate if you go for X11 algo. |

I heard about Indian cryptocoin 'LakshmiCoin' at initial development level which rose $2 Million in funding.
But the plans were put on hold by the developers because RBI policy on crypto currenciees was (and is) not clear. They said they'll resume working on LakshmiCoin only after RBI clears its stand.

The developer got hit by a truck or somethin'...

Haha.. good one! But wouldn't it be easier to just order one from Boeing?
One unit of Boeing 777-9X costs around $380 million + taxes. I think they were pretty short of funds. Also, there were rumors that the plane was carrying some 13 tons of gold. Oops! I thought he said "Millions of BTC" when he had actually said "equivalent of millions of dollars in BTC" And 13 tons of gold is worth a shot, huh? |
