hello, just found this place

[faince222]

i am new to bitcoins and just found this forum 
where should i start?

Read some manual about bitcoin and see the ultimate documentary about bitcoin. If you want to earn something, try to get some mBTC in a Faucet, or go in a signature campaign

The first thing you should do is reading about bitcoin to get some general knowledge. Then decide if you will invest or not.

Try joining a signature campaign! There are a couple campaigns that are still looking for le newbies: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0 for more information.

While you're still learning about bitcoins, faucets are a good way to start, not for the profit aspect so much as the experience. I'm still a relatively new member, and the community here is really great.

just watch out for scammers. esp signatures that dont pay lol.

First you should bookmark http://www.coindesk.com/information/bitcoin-glossary/ and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0 so that you can re-visit the pages and check the meaning of some bitcoin terms like "confirmation", "private key" in the future.

You should start reading the guides you found in this thread. It won't be easy to understand bitcoin, and so don't get frustrated when you are lost in the articles. Feel free to ask your questions here or on reddit when you need help.
