As a beginner look up more boards as much as you can

[BIT-BENDER]

There are many board and an child board. You can't possibly be active on every board especially a local board where you don't understand the local language
 But as a newbie or any rank. One need to look up other board, some forum users are only on few boards and boards signature campaigns makes it compulsory to be.
I am guilty of not going to look up other boards, so I not too long ago advertised for a signature campaign and they picked me. I had gone few day into the signature campaign first week then I came up on a post on reputation which was about the owners of the signature campaign I was on, I removed my signature and drop my involvement with them till they can settle the issue.

Its possible if we do not go to see other boards we can be ignorantly doing evil because we don't know about it.
Even if we don't like some board or don't know what to add to thread or post you can just look it up.
+ it can help stop you from joining signature campaign with questionable character.
+ bring you to understand things you did not before.
+ can develop or rise ones popularity

But when looking up other boards try hard not to spam if you don't have anything to add and ignore spam post, start always with reading

Other boards are very good, but I still prefer all about the bitcoin sections. Some countries do not have local board and they prefer to stay in the English section.

[Baofeng]

Right, there are really a lot of boards that a newbie should explore, specially if you are here to learn and share your knowledge. I would suggest that Development & Technical Discussion and Bitcoin Technical Support. Yes, I know it could be overwhelming for a beginner but you can educate yourself specially about bitcoin by just being a lurker. You don't necessarily need to post, just read and browse discussions and try to absorb the knowledge very slowly. You can bookmark the thread as well, so you can go back and read again. I read a some of Legendaries saying that they started here first being a lurker before they started to post. And that's how they grow in this community.

Nah, it's probably one of the most favorite section since we are on a Bitcoin forum, but there are still some users who don't want there or they have a specific section, like in Gambling section, since they join in this forum just to discuss only gambling about cryptocurrency and they are a gambler, so they only stay on Gambling section.

Great post, there are many useful boards in this forum, you may also look on your local boards, just like me I am always reading on some posts on my local boards because I want also to be updated on what is happening in my own country about bitcoin and boars local me also so comfortable because of the language used, which is what I am more familiar so I really understand the things they are talking about.

Bitcoin discussion is also a great board for me because many people are active on that board and most of the news regarding cryptocurrency is posted on that board but this board will really suitable for all the beginners because all the basics that the beginners should know are all here.

Definitely if you are a beginner, try to read the forum first before asking some questions that were already raised before. You will be amazed how vast of information regarding cryptocurrency this forum has. Even subjects or topics that are hard to find from crypto websites, you will find it here. For me, this forum is like my first choice when it comes to crypto info, news, updates of projects, tutorials and many others.

[Jawhead999]

For me, I would suggest a beginner should visit and look all boards in this forum. Even if he doesn't like it, he should know what each boards discuss about. After he look all the boards, I think he can choose what boards fit to him.

It's doesn't matter if you want to be an active gambler ( gambling section ), a bitcoin enthusiast ( Bitcoin discussion ), or an economist ( Economics ). But don't forget to look up Meta, Scam accusations, Beginner & Help and Reputation board frequently.

Because I think that's board will make you to understand more about forum, get more guide/tutorial, and know or prevent from scam project.

For me, I would suggest a beginner should visit and look all boards in this forum. Even if he doesn't like it, he should know what each boards discuss about.

Why would anyone be looking on a board which is not of his interest? Many people join here to learn, discuss about bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. If someone is interested in technical aspects, why would they need to look at altcoin discussion board?

I can relate unto this actually (I am not as experienced as you think lol). I am not only going to Gambling Discussion but also to other boards like you mentioned. Just a clarification, I visit those boards not because its mandatory for every member here. I do it for the sake of learning . I mean, as long as you are willing to learn new things you will definitely find a way to get out of the isolation.

So for the newbies out there. Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zones. I'll guarantee you that you can adapt, just be courageous. Besides, it's fun to explore so I suggest you to visit Serious Discussion as well because that's the place where most of the topics are deep. You'll enjoy .

[bdbountyon]

Look up on more board means lots of time spending. If you want to find answers to a particular topics then you should use search or advanced seach option. You can browse as many board as possible but this is not needed. I don't like communicating on local board. Also, same topics need not to search on many board.

[Coyster]

For the older users on the forum, it's an easier thing to do for them, they have stayed longer in the forum and have shaped their preferences as to which board/section they will like to post in(visiting is different from posting, you can visit & read, and not post)and from my time reading I have read some write they have ignored some boards on the forum(most especially the altcoin discussion).

But I can say for the newbies it may not be easy from the beginning selecting the board they'll be more comfortable in, except if they came into the forum with a particular interest, for example, if they are curious about altcoins, they will more frequently post and stay in the altcoin discussion section. But those without any particular interest should visit more than one board surely, by doing so, you'll be able to form your interest, and when time passes you'd know the boards you are more comfortable in, and that's the ones you'll frequent.

[slackovic]

I'm not sure about other local boards, but I'm most comfortable in the local section (Croatian). We have enough "old" users that are willing to help any newbie that comes by and the section is not that intimidating for a new user. And it's always better to learn in your native language than in English.

True, there are a LOT of very useful topics in English language, bit I remember when I was a newbie. The easiest way to get to know around the forum was in the local section.

As a newbie, it's important that you go to as many sections as possible not only on your local boards but more that you think that can help you to advance on this technology, but if you joined the bounty campaign there are sections that the manager will ask you to post to get your stakes counted.

I start to look at Beginners & Help section since there are so many introductions guides for newbies which can really help a lot for startup after that i go with mining and trading section and learn about how to earn on this. But the one I regret to visit is the investors-based games section since by their I got scam a lot back on my newbie days so better for newbies to avoid this board since I don't find any legit sites there.

[hd49728]

Right, there are really a lot of boards that a newbie should explore, specially if you are here to learn and share your knowledge. I would suggest that Development & Technical Discussion and Bitcoin Technical Support.

The very first boards to look at is Beginners & Help, then Meta. After jumping to Bitcoin boards (you recommended), I advice newbies to read bitcoin books to have an overview on bitcoin's technical terms first. Then, they will be less overwhelmed by joining those boards.

Nah, it's probably one of the most favorite section since we are on a Bitcoin forum, but there are still some users who don't want there or they have a specific section, like in Gambling section, since they join in this forum just to discuss only gambling about cryptocurrency and they are a gambler, so they only stay on Gambling section.

Difinitely true whether if he/she is a pro grambler or not, newbie or not then they will only stay between gambling for gambling and gambling discussion for issues with a site thet gamble on or other gambling type issue. I even stay there for quite some time just to be updated with gambling sites and to refer to those who are looking forward to gamble.

Actually you cannot keep up with all the boards even if you try, but you can if you have the whole day, it's better to pick the important boards especially those boards that you can participate, but if you are going to participate in a signature campaign, it's better to be familiar on boards that your bounty manager directed you to be active.

[hatshepsut93]

Not all boards are equal, so it's not a good idea to check them all equally, since it would be a waste of time. Politics and Offtopic boards are just garbage; Meta and Reputation, while useful, are full of drama; Serious discussion is full of threads that belong in Politics and Society or Offtopic, and boards like Games and Rounds or Altcoin Bounties may seem like good opportunities to earn money, but they are actually not. Meanwhile, Development and Technical Discussion is the best board on this forum, and you can learn a lot by reading it, and it also has child boards for wallets.

[finaleshot2016]

If you're an obsessive reader on different things, go and check all those boards, just don't let other people do the same thing to you. We can freely go to a specific board that we can concentrate on as a Gambling Discussion whether you're a full-time gambler or a Bitcoin Topic if you want to learn more about BTC. We have different preferences on topics, which is why a lot of boards have been produced so that users can select what gets them interested.

For starters, Beginners & Help is the answer, there are already a lot of spoon-feeding topics on that board. If you want more knowledge about BTC, I think it's easier to watch documentaries than to look at the BTC discussion, since the basic info about BTC was already in the back pages.
