Ratimov's Forum Guides, Tutorials & Lists

[Ratimov]

Hi, community. Recently a lot of interesting material began to appear on the forum and I also decided to contribute to this all. Earlier I published interesting guides and articles for the Russian section, but a few months ago I also decided to share information with the English section. For several months I have collected a decent set of interesting topics.

Note: Not all my topics are original. Some of the guides I create from scratch, some I edit from several topics.

But they are scattered in different sections, so I decided to create a separate theme, where all my topics will be presented in one place. Perhaps this will help and be more convenient for someone. The topics will always be updated and supplemented with new guides and manuals. Topics will be dedicated only to cryptocurrencies and services. I won't add any topics from Meta, Gambling, Reputation, Scams Accusation here. Only mostly large tutorials, guides and lists.

Hey. I have some suggestion.
1. (If you are planning to write it), could you create a thread that contains technology/innovations/services in crypto that will have possibilities to shine in 2021? As we can see, 2020 is Defi's year. Even though the project about defi has been discussed since last year. For example coin like AAVE (LEND). This project has been running since 2017. Or the following article that explained that defi project will have a big opportunities in 2020 : https://blog.cosmos.network/defi-hackathon-the-top-7-projects-changing-the-game-in-finance-e66cb9af1c7f
So, what about 2021? What innovations / technologies will be shine in 2021? Would you Mind to elaborate it through your next thread? I'm willing to help you if you need hands.

2. May i translate one of your threads into Indonesian? This thread : [DeFi] Yield Farming Guides

No problem, take any article and translate it.
 
In the context of your proposed options. Unfortunately, I do not have time for these topics now, because the priority I have more interesting for me topics with defi, which are more focused on training and explanation than the analytical topics, which explain what can be in 2021.

Damn, didn't ever thought you have created so many useful threads like those. When i checked few threads, i've found many threads didn't get any merit yet, so i've given some of smerit to those thread which i think deserve for it.
Those thread are very awesome, keep up the good work

[Smartvirus]

It's quite encouraging to see how much work you've put in @ Ratimov to have put in so much work, time and effort in creating these threads with quality contents as they appear to me within a short frame of time. It tells how much the users of this forum have got the forum and new users at heart and is really bent on promoting Bitcoin and Cryptos without being paid to do it. A quality I don't think other forum users like those of Cryptotalk has.

Where the problem lies is always with the new users even with the fact that, they come across these articles, would they always give it a chance by running through them. It's so bad that sometimes, these contents are always available but then, those for which it was targeted just spins it over and end up navigating the forum with lots of ambition that keeps them off the learning shores. It feels so sad.

Though, I'm very sure that new users with a well refined purpose will always be met with a way to use the forum advantageously and be .at with the right contents to build them into better bitcointalkforum users and crypto enthusiast. In same way do I urge any user with a rather reluctant attitude to just try going through the available contents, it might seem long at times but those are the informative once and it rather gets shorter and less time consuming as you proceed. Nice one at Ratimov . Hope your targeted audience gets the shot.

Thank you, yes, the altcoin section does not often give merit, but I am not discouraged, it is not so important for me, it will be more important if someone in the future will quote this article, it means that at least it helped someone.

Thanks. Many newbies are rather lazy, and even when there are many answers on the forum, they still ask questions.

[Ratimov]

There have been no updates for a long time. There was a short break in order to accumulate material for new guides.

New threads

- [BIG LIST] Analytical Crypto Services & Tools - This topic contains a large collection of analytical services for Bitcoin, ETH and the crypto industry in general.


- [EDUCATION] The Origins of Bitcoin - This topic contains material, in chronological order, on the events preceding the emergence of Bitcoin.


I've also noticed that my themes are starting to translate frequently for other locales. Of the latter, I noticed the following:

-English 1 Hour = 1 New Bitcoin-ATM
-Turkish 1 Saat = 1 Yeni Bitcoin Atm’si

-English [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards

It's nice that the material that I have collected has become interesting to someone and is being distributed in other locales. I will be glad if my other guides also appear in other forum locales. Thanks to the translators.

[Mr.right85]

This is a very big list but it still lacks something, I know it's not supposed to contain everything as only the forum could have that but then, I'm looking for a list that would contain most of the terminologies used frequently in the forum.

[Bekuciwu9]

This is a very big list but it still lacks something, I know it's not supposed to contain everything as only the forum could have that but then, I'm looking for a list that would contain most of the terminologies used frequently in the forum.

Since all forums have similar terminology, you can also use this overview of  forum slang and expressions
Web Forums Slang

This forum of course has some specifics, but you will learn it by the time being here,there is no need to rush into all of this.Just take your time and adjust to this forum,starting with all those great guides that Ratimov put together,which needed huge amount of time.

I already bookmarked this topic,thanks Ratimov!
