Hey guys!

I've been working on a website about crypto for a school project. Would anyone be willing to proofread it for errors/give me any suggestions on it? I'd be very grateful. I will be adding sources and hyperlinks to relevant information (on technical words) soon.

Thanks!

Hello, welcome to Bitcoin community.
Im sorry i can't help you, because its too dangerous. U are new user, with 1 post with some could be shady website with malicious javascript scripts on it to steal bitcoins from not updated browsers etc.

If you would be here for a while, it would not be a problem.
Maybe someone with less care for security will enter your website.

Aside form that aspect, if your website is geniue, thank you for contributing to Bitcoin knowledge. Big kudos to you then, spread Bitcoin word everywhere you can, its best thing to Bitcoin success.

If you're that concerned about security, you can use an extension such as NoScript, or use a different computer for general web browsing and storing BTC.

I have recently become active again after a long period of inactivity. Cryptographic proof that my account has not been compromised is available.

Everyone should be concerned about security in Bitcoin world Smiley, everyone.
NoScript is a way for most security web-related problems, but im not sure its for every exploit/malware. So if im not sure about something, i don't do it. Safe approach.

We are getting offtopic a little, if you don't store your BTC on our computer, help topic author please.

Sure thing Smiley

Homepage: COINMARKETCAP link is sort of broken (only first C works as a link). Same for coindesk.

Can't speak to the accuracy of the history. On /bitcoin.html, SHA256 is not encryption, it is a hash. Might be helpful to mention its basic properties (i.e. indistinguishable from random data, deterministic, one-way (guessing input from desired output is practically impossible). Otherwise, that page looks good.
Page about blockchain is a bit short on technical details (although, depending on your target audience, that might be OK). Uses is good, might be useful to identify examples of cryptos that support each of those uses.

Thanks! I'll get those links fixed ASAP. And thanks so much for the corrections, I'll make a few revisions later to fix the errors and flesh the blockchain/uses pages out as well.

Also, @Velkro, would it have been better if I just posted the url as opposed to a hyperlink? (it's a weebly site) If so, it's cryptocointro.weebly.com.

Dude your site is nice keep it up. Finish it we want to see.

Exactly what are you people talking about. How exactly would his website be unsafe ? It's hosted on freaking wix. Viruses don't just magically install in your machine and visiting a website is not how you get a virus. You guys should seriously educate yourselves instead of giving paranoid information out.

I'm not sure why you're quoting my response to Velkro as if I'm the one being paranoid. I'm specifically telling them that if they want to be paranoid there's tons of solutions to block non-trustworthy scripts, and I myself viewed the site and gave advice on content. I highly recommend scrolling all the way up and re-reading.
