Note: This is an ongoing project and an approach to experiment the admin's (theymos) proposal of Idea: Courses. I can make mistakes, please feel free to review the tutorial clips and help me to improve the experience for the members in need.
Also, voluntary proofreading for the contents will be highly appreciated.



Version updates...
1.1.2: Images are visible now.
1.1.1: archive - code
1.1.0: archive - code


There are actually a lot of good tutorials already exist on the forum however all of them are basically text versions. Visual learning is the best and quickest learning method, besides having the green signal from the admin in mind, this is my approach to be a supportive forum member.

This project is for Bitcoin wallet "HOW TOs". Depending on the responses of this project, the next projects I have in mind are...
- Pretty Good Privacy "HOW TOs"
- Some of the forum features "HOW TOs" and possible others.

Getting started with your first Bitcoin wallet (Desktop wallet):
We will use Electrum wallet for these video clips. We have everything we need in an Electrum wallet. Please download it from here. Since I use Windows, my tutorials will be Windows version. If you are using a different OS then I hope you will figure out a way to work with your OS by using the idea of these video clips. Thanks for understanding.

02' 34": Boom! You have just restored/recovered your (lost) Bitcoin wallet.
02' 36": Check your Bitcoin addresses. They will be there.


Start sending and receiving Bitcoin:
We are not going to use the wallet we have created earlier. For this section, we have created two new wallets. One is the receiver wallet and the other one is the sender wallet. We will send Bitcoin to the receiver wallet. In this process, we will learn the steps to follow for both sending and receiving Bitcoin.

If everybody think in the same way then newbie will remain newbie(or Jr. Member) always.
I do not know why should anybody trust you when half of your post are just troll , or for some unethical financial gain for you.

@iPwB , Keep reading and keep up your good work and you can use "Ignore"  button for trolls.

"don't be cheap, pay a few bucks and be able to post images."  - Are you saying that I have to buy one? Can't I wait until I achieve the next rank? How does this make me cheap?

"for now I don't trust you enough to give you any merits." what trust you are talking about? Did I ask for anything to trade to you?

Seems like you are lacking respects for others. I hope not everyone is like you here.

------------------------

SuiMikira, I have no idea what are you talking about?

---------------------------

Thank you Crypto_Sassy, I am getting there.

---------------------------

I have updated the main topic and with more contents. Please review and let me know your feedback.

Regards,

iPwB
