Hello all, newbie post :)

Hello bitcoiners

I've been lurking around the rim of Bitcoin for a while now, and am finally brave enough to post on the forums.

I won't pretend to any great understanding of Bitcoin or how it works, but I think I'd like to be part of it - it's certainly dynamic!

Hello to all of you - I look forward to being a member here, and learning lots of new stuff

Hey man! Hello and welcome to the world of bitcoin! And also Bitcointalk.org! First things first, you might want to understand how bitcoin works, then go here ---> https://bitcoin.org/en/

Beware of the scams and different shady services and websites that are being introduced and presented to you. Scammers treat bitcoin as their vehicle to scams. Just stay away from those shady services and websites (and also individuals) and you'll be good.

Good luck mate.

Welcome to the forum! I don't know how familiar you are with the forum - if you've been lurking a while, you may already know this, but I didn't understand the following for a while -

The OP (original post) is often used as a repository for a given thread, especially in the altcoin section.

When using the quote function, you can easily clean up the quoted material to reduce forum clutter (for instance, snipping out a picture).

I still can't get the "watch thread" to work properly, so if I want to see updated posts, I'll just reply in the thread with "popcorn", that way "show new replies to your posts" in the top left will always be updated with whatever you are following. I don't know if this practice is frowned upon or not. No one has seemed to mind.

My last piece of advice is to run your own node / wallet on your own PC - be your own bank, secure the network, and all that

Enjoy!

i have only one super important advice for you:
whatever you do, whichever wallet you choose, before doing anything else; first learn how to secure it.

This....is a minefield.

There's a hell of alot to learn here. And alot of it is technical - I'm not particularly scared of this but it's going to take some time to absorb.

Seems the scam artists are out in force in the Bitcoin world :/
