Useful information for Nigerian newbies

[Hewlet]

This is a very helpful compilation of key information for not just newbies but people of my kind. I have been looking and wondering on how to go about making a thread that contains image but didn't see any option requiring me to directly upload an image from my device and so I just randomly assumed that I needed to rank up to full member before I would be able to create threads containing an image. But with this link https://www.talkimg.com/ it just brightened my day and I guess I just added another knowledge to my library of information in the forum.

I just want to also add that you should have given a detailed explanation on steps involved in uploading the image because when I clicked on the link and uploaded a random image just to know how it all works, I was afraid when I saw "uploaded" and didn't know the particular place the image was uploaded to. I guess you should have added that we need to copy the link and add it to our post and then preview it before posting it. But thanks for the information, it really helped.

There was a guide there:

7. How to upload images

To be able to upload image on Bitcointalk, you need to rank up to junior member or buy a copper membership.

Recommended image uploading site: https://www.talkimg.com/
TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk
Guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462934.msg63066374#msg63066374

Other image uploading sites:
Image uploading websites/ scripts for Bitcointalk users

The guide is the third link. But if desktop is used for it, it would have been better, and also if the images height and width have been adjusted. But with how it still is, you should be able to understand how to use talkimg to upload image from the guide.

I will be moving to next section very soon which will be focused on bitcoin, like bitcoin 101, bitcoin wallets and types. I do not know if anyone have a suggestion to what I can still add to the first OP thread (which is more about this forum) before I should start the second OP thread?

[Chilwell]

You just titled your post for Nigeria newbies but not only newbies are benefiting from this topic, getting it all arrange here in our own local board, indeed you are doing a very good job.

To me the way you are going about is actually okay, because after knowing everything about forum including the rules of the forum, then next thing is to know why the forum is created and the purpose of it. The next step you are about to take is good one because Bitcoin is even the reason why the forum is created, with your help gradually we will all be learning it.

Making posts useful, informative and educating will help to ranking up. Do not come for money, come for knowledge and you will be surprised.

This here is the the best post I've seen today. I wish all the newbies like myself can see this post. If possible this post should be pinned on all the forums for all the newbies to see it. Because I know very much that most the newbies that got in on this platform are only here for the money, to get recognitions, make impressive posts and get merited, some even copy ideas from others and some post news they do not even understand the contents just to get merited, with the purpose of building up their accounts, join a signature campaign that'll pay you and then relax, forgetting that the core purpose of this platform is to dispatch knowledge to its members.

Knowledge indeed is power and we seem to forget that knowledge is the primary and the principal thing, when you're here for the money, trust me it's really gonna be difficult to cope here, but when you make acquisition of knowledge your primary objective for coming here then every other thing will come easy peasy. I remember the wisest man the bible ever recorded (Solomon) was a seeker of wisdom and knowledge and when he got it, wisdom wasn't the only commodity under his sleeves, if you know the story, you'll know that he was also the richest king that ever lived. So knowledge comes with a reward and that reward is the money, the recognition and the merits, cos no one would wish to merit a non quality poster.

So the sooner we start changing our mindset and purpose for being here, the better for us.

Thanks for the information all Newbie’s really appreciate we are almost completely lost here thank everyone for the encouragement, reply am grateful this really help

Some people on this local board are earning merit. Look at their posts too (with the English boards) and you will understand better. Making posts useful, informative and educating will help to ranking up. Do not come for money, come for knowledge and you will be surprised.

The reward for labour is wages in relation to the forum, the reward for our posts is merit which will in-turn fetch us some cash in form of signature campaigns.
Now I have been in the forum for sometime now. My activity has grown to the level where I should be in the member rank but merit has limited me. I have been coming across some threads where one can appeal for merit but I discovered that the thread is always closed from replies not until a particular date i was lucky though to apply from one of the thread but no result till now. I'm using this medium to appeal for thread where I can make further appeals to rank up. I have been tolling like Peter in the bible without fish I need some reward to compensate my little effort.

You can report of your posts on these threads:

[self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
[Merit] Share your best posts/threads with Fillippone to be merit assessed

Make sure you read the rules. If you are posting good, those threads would be helpful, especially the second thread.

[uchegod-21]

An educative topic Op. You have done noble, this will honestly help any newbie who wishes to learn about the forum to adapt quickly. It is a nice thread.

You have perfectly made it clear for me to understand and know more useful information about this forum, because I'm still a newbie in this forum, i will like to thank you for the information, is helpful to all newbies to enable them understand it more.

Welcome to the forum. Next time, you don't really need to quote the whole wall of text to reply. You can just cut it or reply independently. It is better than quoting long op and end up saying typing a simple thing below.

Please have been seeing this copper of a thing. What does it really mean I mean copper membership and how can one buy it..

yes this copper membership is a paid membership rank, where you as a newbie enjoy the function of posting images as restricted to regular newbies and also enjoy the same signature benefit of a member rank. aside this all other restrictions and rules still apply to you too; you can get banned and also tagged. here is the link to purchase one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote.

my advice is if you're not here to run maybe a campaign that need you to post images right away it will be better to just grow your account gradually untill you reach the ranks

Please have been seeing this copper of a thing. What does it really mean I mean copper membership and how can one buy it..

You can click here to buy a copper member
There is no difference between copper member and Jr member or Member rank, just that copper member are being introduced for those who wanna post images and graphics on the forum if they don't have the required merits and activity but with the help of copper member you can upload image on the forum.

Note: Buying a copper member doesn't guaranteed that your account can not be ban, if you violate any rules against the forum automatically you will be ban or penalized for that, so same rules that binds all account and all users binds a copper member as well, so if you are buying a copper member you should also try to adhere to rules and regulations.

I just visited today to know I have missed some posts. I think that I mistakenly skipped the notification few weeks ago.

EL MOHA and SmartGold01 are correct. You can also read theymos post about copper membership: Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images

Everyone survived when it'd their time. We start our crypto journey and at the end of the day, we will relaxed when the results are out. This is the forum where we listen to essential problems and also know the projects to invest and the ones to refrain from such actions. We passed the important phases before finally granting usable passes. information is power and we should never underestimate our chances of reaching the top this season. I've come this far to win games and make quite good findings for myself.

Maybe i should suggest that this thread be pinned here on the local board, so that it can serve as a first approach learning material for the newbies who are just joining the forum and local board, this may help prevent them from making a low quality post or trolling the forum by posting what is not welcome to carry useful information's, at first approach, some of these newbies need to learn from resourceful materials.

I have a questions? what are the things newbies should do to earn more merit, and what is the advantages of merit, also and also what should encourage the newbies to get more post.we are new in the forum so we still need, some guide so that we can meet up with our daily post.

This has always been the center of interest ( how to earn merit) of many newbie but I actually do not blame most of them sha because I was once like them and I once ask this question. However,  there are several advantages of merit and they include:

1. It help one enter another position
2. It gives one access to some task ( joining of projects ) etc.
You earning merit means you understand or you are beginning to understand the forum.

I think what will encourage newbie to post is because of activity. Your activity counts as you are making posts and if you don't get the number of activity require for a member even if your merit is enough to take you to
that membership level you won't be given that position or title unless you get the number of activity required. But I always advise newbie not to post with the intention to earn merit because it doesn't work that way, merit will come when you least expect it, that is how funny it can be sometimes. In summary make sure you go through posts thoroughly and carefully so as to understand the forum very well because the moment you understand the forum every other thing becomes easy for you.

When I was a newbie, I earned merit fast. I registered on Bitcointalk, I knew nothing. I make some wrong posts and I was corrected but people knew that I was ready to learn and I accepted corrections from established members. I studied people and how they were posting, I read most posts than me posting. Later, I make myself more useful by bringing useful topics and I continued to earn merits. There were some posts that I will make and I will be expecting merit and many of them were given merits because I know how this forum is. See this forum like an organization, you got to and learn about them to become like them.

[Ever-young]
