Some important bitcointalk [GUIDE] for beginners.

[Cadaver20]

After joining the Bitcointalk forum, a Beginner faces many problems. In order to solve those problems, forum members have created different types of [GUIDE] at different times. And those [GUIDE] are slowly getting lost due to not updating or bumping regularly. So I tried to collect some important [GUIDE] on the same page. I was inspired to create this thread after viewing this thread of OcTradism.

There are some threads like this one. I am going to give you a list of listing threads.  

• [GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?)
• self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source

• Index to popular bitcointalk threads 2018
• [Useful Links] Bitcointalk Guidebook✔️
• Ways of avoiding repetitive topic/thread.
• At least there is another thread from @weldecrypto (then name is similar but I don't remember the correct name)

Found him: List of useful Threads! (welovedcrypto)

Search list

• ★ A Complete Guideline to use forum search button properly ★
• [Tips] Guide for forum search
• [How-to] the Search button

A hidden feature that was disclosed by theymos. If you need to search for specific thing in a thread (that you already know and is currently visiting on that), you can use the Search box at the top right corner. Searching process will be done and data is only restricted to that specific thread.

Just go into the thread and use the search bar. Or you can use google to do it which is often more accurate.

About searching, I have a tip for you:

• If you know username of one user, and want to find one of his threads but don't remember keywords for his thread title/ contents, you can visit the hidden page: https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=2614133 (replace userid). When you see a list of thread, you can easier find what you are looking for.

[erikoy]

Nice thread OP, If only I have merits left I can give you in this posts. I am out of merits but still I am positive next time if given the chance to reward you with this then I will do.

I think the title should be change because this is a compilation of threads to which feautures GUIDES in the forum, informative technical posts and resources that can be check later whenever it will be needed.

Anyway, keep posting helpful thread like this OP and pretty sure you can be an asset in the forum too like those legendary user here in the forum. I will going to see how much you will grow here in the forum.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Actually guide like these are very common already, but of course indeed this is very helpful. This is an index and compiling post that are helpful and has quality content are always welcome here.

Most of the post on the index are well familiar to us, and OP seems to find it all. Congrats, continue sharing but make sure to update this and dont leave your thread hanging. Some usually abandon their post after being posted. Be responsible on your thread mate, keep it up.

Op you tried for researching related topics that guides beginners in forum I really applaud your hardworking, i find out that some of the topics we see as a topic for beginners is not really beginners topics,it guide's everyone who are ready to study,because some members in forum  don't really know thing we fell is the normal step to follow in forum.
I will courage members and full members to revisits those guide topics meant for beginners.

[Cadaver20]

Nice thread OP, If only I have merits left I can give you in this posts. I am out of merits but still I am positive next time if given the chance to reward you with this then I will do.

Thank you for your support. I am very much encourage with your support and it is the equivalent of merit to me.

make sure to update this and dont leave your thread hanging.

I always try to keep this thread up to date.

That list pretty sure too many however as I was checking found out some cool stuff to learn. I had already bookmark this thread and will check others if it also interest me.

Nice compilation OP, did you use the search button to look for this post? I somehow having hard time to use the search button especially if it related to specific search but if I will do generic it will come up too many post including the replies and of that certain thread and will take timw for me for the thread that I am certainly looking in this forum. Somehow, google searcg engine is way better than the search button if this forum I guess.

Here's one ultimate forum posting guide which is useful for both newbies and old timers alike

Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

By mprep.

[DdmrDdmr]

<…>

One of the guides listed in the OP verses on the topic of how to use the forum search function: [Tips] Guide for forum search. Further down, within that guide, it shows how to improve Google search accuracy.
One thing that the referenced guide does not state is that it is important to narrow down the timeframe when using the advanced search feature on the forum, especially if the term is rather popular or generic.

For example, if you search for the term "merits", the search results will display entries from 2013 backwards (entries that do not relate to the Merits we’ve got in mind now). But if you cap the Message Age to say 30 days, you’ll get results even for today’s entries. Results are delimited to 5 pages, so you need to narrow down on boards, keywords and timeframe.

[tranthidung]

Results are delimited to 5 pages, so you need to narrow down on boards, keywords and timeframe.

Great point, DdmrDdmr. I would edit my thread with a note on it. I rarely use forum search like you provided so I learn one more point from you. and did not notice such details (5 delimited pages) 
I'd prefer to use hidden pages to search (mostly search for topic titles, positions, some log pages).

@OP, please add my [Guide] Searching effectively

I see your intention to build up as every big compilation thread, I recommend you to categorise those threads like what @Ratimov does in [HUGE LIST] Useful Crypto Links !!!. Doing this will do take lot of your time (@Ratimov is extremely patient with his big list).  

In short, you need some main components:

• Table of contents
• Categorisations
• Anchors
• Helpful threads

[1miau]

If you want, you can add my topic:

Make sure to avoid wasting BTC for too high fees – step by step guide (Electrum)

It's already included in the list of LoyceV but since your list is about guides for newbies, it would be a good idea to include it. Saving fees isn't very difficult at least when users start avoiding centralized exchanges for frequent transactions and using Electrum instead.

[Cadaver20]

New topic added to the list.
1. Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
2. [Guide] Searching effectively
3. Make sure to avoid wasting BTC for too high fees – step by step guide (Electrum)

[Alucard1]

Thank you for the good list of threads that may help every beginner of this forum. They will be benefited for every thread you have given, we all know that some members here don't have a habit of using the search engine to search the topics they want to know, this list will be very helpful for them to get those important topics that may help them as amber of this forum. The rules of the forum are the most important thing for all the beginners to read first before anything else.

[Serious475]

Thank you for this kind of long guide and it tools a look time before I read all of those on the list. It seems I already read just four items on that list and I'm not a good member yet.

You really takes a lot of effort to gather all of this information. Of course I will give my effort on this too.

If I created some guide too I hope you will add this on the list.

About searching, I have a tip for you:

• If you know username of one user, and want to find one of his threads but don't remember keywords for his thread title/ contents, you can visit the hidden page: https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=2614133 (replace userid). When you see a list of thread, you can easier find what you are looking for.

If ever I felt lazy searching for good threads from a certain member and forget the thread title so what I did is search the member and go to profile then show the last topic created by this person and then next and next until you will be able to find the thread you are looking for. Your tip also work since I also did it.
You can also change the userid.

It is more convenient and save your time to load pages if the user you are aiming at has too many topics. You have to load images, text of their topics. To help you better understand potential inconvenience, you can visit the post history page of Ratimov -- who is a topic-productive and his topics have too many images. 

With my tip, you can have a list of their topics by default. You can be able to narrow down the list by specific board (use &board=boardid at the end).

If one user uses good topic title that represents what the topic discusses about, it is enough to look at topic title when you are in searching.

Well, I'm glad I mentioned about it and If I did not I think I wouldn't know about it if you haven't shared it here I wouldn't know about it and other people who don't know about it too. This will lessen time searching for threads you forgot the thread title. Thanks for sharing.

That's a plenty of readings but newbies need to deal with it because it is important to know the rules and guidelines here in our forum.

I know that most of the newbies are lazy enough to read those long topics but I guarantee you that it will help you a lot.

Hoping that more topics like this will be posted here in this forum, a compilation so that it is not hard for us to look and seek for a specific rules that we need to know.
