New Here

[Tiger Maple]

I didnt see an introductions section or a new members section so i figured meta would have to do.

I'm new here, obviously. New to bitcoin, and just getting started learning.

Was hoping someone could give me the short version about this bitcoin stuff. I tried browsing the forums but everything seems to be just one garbled mess of randomness and to be honest its a bit painful to read anything useful as far as discussion goes as most of the things that would be useful have 20+ pages of posts filled with little to no relevant info and its painful to try and sort through.

So how's about it. Someone want to give me the short version on things i should know just starting out?

Welcome to forum. You should read sticky threads first. Beginners & Help board would be a nice start.

Hey Thanks for the link !!!!!

So from what i gathered from that thread was.....

Dont trust people
Dont trust paypal
Dont use bitcoin
Dont keep your wallet on a computer that is online

&

Tysat either has a great sense of humor or is very sarcastic.


On the up side, i found that there is a newbie section so maybe i can get more info there. Thanks for that, i couldn't find a newbie section to start with.

This is what I read when I started with Bitcoin : https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started
It's short and nicely explains everything.

Here's a few articles that'll help get you started.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-explained-five-year-old/

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-02/bitcoins-the-digital-currency-explained/5119034

I don't think you should try particularly hard to learn about it, if you're genuinely interested you'll soak up information at your own pace just by browsing and posting on the forums. Anyways welcome to Bitcoin

Welcome to the bitcoin world and bitcointalk.

Was hoping someone could give me the short version about this bitcoin stuff. I tried browsing the forums but everything seems to be just one garbled mess of randomness and to be honest its a bit painful to read anything useful as far as discussion goes as most of the things that would be useful have 20+ pages of posts filled with little to no relevant info and its painful to try and sort through.

IMHO, http://www.coindesk.com/information/ gives best introduction for newbies. It is easy to read and covers all aspects.
You don't need to read the pages for mining and/or altcoins if you are not planning to buying an ASIC or some altcoins.
There is also a glossary that you may find useful later.

Awesome thanks guys, that was what i was looking for, i thought i would be able to find it all on the forum as thats where google kept leading me. That coindesk site seems to be the "in the know" site for all things bitcoin. a million thanks for that link.
