Finding it hard to explain cryptocurrencies and blockchain to your friends and relatives or you are just a newbie and want to get to know the cryptoworld better?
Well, here is the solution!
BitcoinWiki.org

We are the BitcoinWiki.org team and we are creating the big informational portal about blockchain, cryptocurrency, altcoins, ICO, wallets, exchanges etc.

We offer everyone to share the knowledge about cryptocurrencies and blockchain and place this information on our portal. Our project is made by active participants of our cryptocommunity. All the articles are checked for relevancy and approved. BitcoinWiki.org includes articles about whole cryptoworld.

We believe in the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency and think that it is important to disseminate knowledge about it. The cryptoworld still remains unclear for many people. Our aim is to help them to understand world-changing processes. We try to make our articles easily understood for all countries around the world, that’s why we translate them into as many languages as we can.

If you are ready to collaborate with us or if you have any questions, please send your message here - becky@bitcoinwiki.org
You can find all information about us on our website - www.bitcoinwiki.org

Nice project guys! Educating people is important. Most of them still have no idea what is blockchain. I hope that your project will grow to help people to understand new technologies. Good luck!

Checked out your website. It's good that you have moderation of articles, because on regular Wikipedia some articles are not checked for months. I think you are also struggling with promotion, because as I understand project is non-commercial. Thus I hope that you will find a good monetization way. Maybe I'll write a couple of articles soon to support your idea Smiley

Finally something new in the cryptoworld not connected with ICO! Great idea, education is very important. As I understand you write also about projects and different coins, right? It could be a way to make money Smiley

Is there any reason why you decided to start an entirely new Bitcoin wiki, instead of adding to the existing one (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page)?
Not saying that I think it's a bad idea or anything like that... I'm just a bit curious why you decided to build a completely new one Smiley

By the way, the other Bitcoin wiki still has a lot more information than yours, it'll be a while before you catch up to them.
Their pages are also way more in depth, I noticed after reading a few.

Website looks nice and up-to-date with newest/upcoming bitcoin technology, but looks like some of the articles comes from https://en.bitcoin.it/ which is similar with your website. Is it mirror of that website?
Regardless, it's good website. But i suggest you to make the source more clear.
Thank you for your opinion! It could be that some paragraphs are similar to those that are published at en.bitcoin.it, because articles on our website are created by real people.
en.bitcoin.it is not a mirror of bitcoinwiki.org. The main difference between that project and ours is that we publish articles not only about Bitcoin but also about everything in cryptoworld. We also try to make these articles easy to read to ordinary people Smiley

If you need authors, I'm ready  Cool
I just need to register and then write articles, right? As I understand, only knowledge of wiki-markup is needed? Then my text will be moderated and published? Asking that just to understand how is it working.

Wicked mate good on you for starting up such a cause and organization. A lot of people are going to benefit from this mainly the noobs they could use an education lesson or two Cheesy.

Yes, you're right: just register, write and wait Smiley If your article is relevant and correct it will be published soon. What's important, if you don't know wiki-markup it's not a problem. Just email us with you article and our editors will publish it according to wiki-markup!

Thank you for your opinion! It could be that some paragraphs are similar to those that are published at en.bitcoin.it, because articles on our website are created by real people.
en.bitcoin.it is not a mirror of bitcoinwiki.org. We are completely new project that uses open wiki-markup. The main difference between that project and ours is that we try to edit articles to make them easier to read to ordinary people. Our goal as it was mentioned is educating people, not making another website for geeks Smiley

Also replying to this comment then Wink

It definitely shouldn't be a problem if you copy parts of articles from the Bitcoin.it wiki, as long as you give clear attribution to them and indicate where changes have been made. Their articles are licensed under 'CC BY 3.0' (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/), which is one of the most permissive CC licenses.

I can't really say that I agree with your vision that your project makes articles easier to read for ordinary people.
A wiki isn't really suitable for that, it's always a bit more targeted towards technical or more experienced users. Wouldn't a regular website or blog work better for that purpose?

Anyway, I still think it's a good thing that you're trying to make this information more accessible, just not fully convinced of the method, that's all.

And you are right, there is no problem. If the information was taken from other websites, it is indicated at the bottom of the page in "Sources". Bitcoinwiki.org will also have the Creative Commons license very soon.

Thank you very much for your opinion Smiley

I like your project. I think it's helpful for newbies. By the way i've visited the main page and can't see the option to create an article. How can I do that?

Thank you for the support Smiley
You just have to type the name of the article in the search line. If such article already exist you can edit it. If it doesn't exist the system will offer you to create it. Press the red name of the article and start typing.

You're welcome! We are happy that you have joined the ranks of our authors Wink
You are talking about wiki-markup. For now you can see the markup guide by pressing "Help" on the top right of Bitcoinwiki.
To make titles of different levels just write the name of the title ==Like this==. ===Like this=== or ====Like this====

This wiki markup is not very easy for me. I edited some articles on your website and i always needed to look at the Help page. It was difficult to remember all rules, but i hope i will do it one day.

Sure, you just need to practice a little bit more. Wiki-markup is not that complicated, you just gotta know basics. Moreover we're gonna to make our guide easier, create educational video and we've already launched the series of lessons in our Twitter account. You can just type #bitcoinwiki_study and see them all. There are just some lessons now, but soon there will be more Smiley
