Terminology

[Welsh]

Bumping again for newbs like us.

Likewise man this is going to take me awhile to learn... sigh

Just search the things you don't understand. Otherwise, learning every single one is going to take time and you will never use some of the terms.

I regularly see posts in Speculation asking what a bull/bear trap is.   

A possible definition might be:

Bull Trap:  An upward trend in price that invites bullish speculators to buy before reversing suddenly and "springing the trap."
Bear Trap:  The opposite of a bull trap, where the price goes downward and then sharply back up "trapping" bearish speculators who sold their positions.

Really helpful. Thanks Yogi.
BTW,  bitcoin-shitlist.com seems not working.

Thanks Equus, I've added your suggestions.

OK, thanks for letting me know. I'll check back on the site at a later date, if it's still down I'll remove the link.

Question:

Regarding a premine, what is the full definition of the word "float"? 

Thanks

Hi Armis,

I'm not sure, maybe someone else will enlighten us. Can you point me to where you saw 'float' used in relation to 'premine'?

BTW the financial definition of 'float' is;

The float refers to profits earned by a financial institution on assets that do not belong to that institution, but are held in custody for a client or other purpose.

But, I don't think this is what your referring too.

I think that might be on the same track (in the ballpark); here is the reference link:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=621411.msg6882556#msg6882556




on a different note:
I noticed your sig how would you like to partner on some cryptocurrency projects?

Yeah, I think DathAndTaxes was using the financial term. I don't think 'float' is used here as anything specifically relating to premining.

I'm already partnering on a project, and looking for other partners (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=539956.0). Feel free to PM me if you think we can co-operate.

Maybe add these in the list, too:

Bitcoin = the protocol
bitcoin = the unit

People often write those differently. Some even do BitCoin.

Fantastic list! Wish I'd found this sooner. Great information for the newbie.

I don't really think that we have a confirmation to make this official.

Agree. There are some discussion but we don't have a consensus on that yet.
On the other hand, "BitCoin" is definitely bad lol.

[golfwidow]

You should "pin" this at the top of the beginner forum. This is info us "newbies" need right out of the gate. Keep up the great work!

[johnwest]

Its really helpful for newbie like me. Just trying to learning about crypto currency.

[yuan12]

Great post with useful and organized info!  Thanks!

Going to necro for a bit since Mysteryminer reminded me if this is ever getting a sticky and I'm not sure which one he merged it with

The unmolested list is a collaborative effort compiled by myself and following forum members; knight22, greyhawk, uk1, littlebit, J3nc, mufa23, Portnoy, MoonShadow, Phinnaeus Gage, Aahzman, slardar, live627, bengina, crazyates, Grecoin, TooCasual, TangibleCryptography & User25.

If anyone has any comments, suggestions or requests regarding the original list then please post them here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0, thank you.

It is worth to link the unmolested child post in the main comment. Anyway without the original FAQ this would not happen.

This might be worthy of stickiness.

Not quite ready yet, I need to finish other half of it and refine some parts of it to be really funny. I just need some free time and dose of inspiration.

I found the original thread. Bumping and merging.

Guess add an update to Hal Finney and maybe cypherpunk as a concept and some people adddtions
Alex Green / Ryan Kennedy for People who scam mintpal etc.
Andreas Antopoulos activists
