This (or a similar) template has probably been done before, but a fresh wave of n00bs is coming so we need to revisit and save our strength! We have to use the power of cutting and pasting! The complexity of various replies I've doing lately suggests this template is not quite there yet, so let's work together to patch this thing up!

Present company excluded of course Wink

But basically there seems to have been a lot of "sophisticated trolling" lately where e.g.: new members discover a serious flaw because... "miners will lose income over time due to lost coins/money supply deflation"
or...
"OMG the whole system will go down in flames due to off-chain transactions!"

Their concerns might be genuine but it's freakin' annoying, and the assumption that 'we' (older members) were all too dumb to discuss the basics is slightly insulting.
