Help me show the right path regarding cryptography technology.

[Alana Arden]

I don't have a desktop or laptop. Even I don't have any technical knowledge (although I have learned a bit now thanks to the forum, but this knowledge is by no means enough). I'm still trying to learn the technical stuff.

I read a post a few days ago; it was like, "Surviving in the crypto world is very difficult, especially for those who have an internet and technical background."
I remember who the post was, but the writing stuck in my brain.

Now it seems to me that sustaining myself in this crypto world is a big challenge for me, and I also don't want to leave empty-handed without gaining knowledge. I am very curious to know about the cryptocurrency world.But my brain is not able to handle technical issues (laptop, desktop, or computer programming issues related to crypto).

Most of the time, I read many posts on the technical board but only read those with zero results. Everything goes over my head because I don't understand anything about technical programming topics. And so I got frustrated and shared my problem with everyone. I believe that the solution to my problem will come from this community.

I should have mentioned my problems here earlier, but I was embarrassed about what everyone would think when they found out I don't have any technical stuff other than a phone, but I'm just walking down this street to learn about crypto.
I know it is very late, but I want everyone's help to guide me through the technical aspects of cryptocurrency from start to finish.

In my studies, I have only lightly learned about bitcoin, its history, blockchain, mining, nodes, wallet public keys, private keys, hashes, and blocks. I said it again, just lightly.I never heard a name before joining the forum, but my knowledge is very insignificant, not deep.

But most of the technical posts have more depth of programming, which I could not catch. I don't understand whether, without knowing about a laptop or desktop, I can be successful in understanding these things or not.

I don't know how much I was able to understand all of you or how much you all understood. If you can understand a little bit of my writing, then I hope you will see me as a newbie and please guide me properly by solving my problems without being ashamed.

You have made an interesting decision to learn which many people wants to do here in the forum but not the way you want it. Basically it's advised that you stick to areas you understand better in the forum to avoid spamming but you have an interest in technical knowledge so you will learn that gradually.

Are you still in this generation that cares about what people says? Nobody cares about you so why would you care about what people have to say about you, if you're interested to learn believe that what anybody says is the problem them you probably won't learn.

Imo, your post is understandable and lot of newbies wants to do same too but aren't bold enough but you made it out. I comprehend your writing although writing error might occur but who cares as far as I can understand what you wrote.

Now you don't have a laptop/desktop it's a disadvantage to you but it doesn't mean you can't learn what you wish to learn though it's required but gradually you will find the need hence get one for yourself.

Though I don't have enough technical knowledge but I can give you some few links to study and after reading through if you. find any area so difficult you can use the search button to find your answers here in the forum because many people have talked about literally almost everything but if you still don't understand from your search then you can ask questions here.
Here is a list of threads/articles you have to read to start understand technical stuffs;

• 
  1. https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ -A beginner guide website
  2. https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/glossary -A terminology guide (You can learn all Bitcoin and technical terms)
  3. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5183979.0 -How Bitcoin transactions work and what are their types
  

There are lot more that are supposed to be in the links but it's a good start you can learn gradually from those links.

best regards

Why the rush?

If you can operate a computer and your laptop you can do anything online.

But like I just said, why the need for rush? Do you know that it took me more than a year to fully understand many things in this crypto space? And you are new to crypto but you want all the knowledge so fast?

Relax, it takes time, you need to climb gradually, learn something new about crypto today, and focus on that for a while, later you will move into something else in crypto, grab yourself a book and a pen, start writing down your steps as you go.

Practice makes perfect like people used to say, you mentioned Bitcoin mining, have you tried it out yourself? Have you seen where miners harsh a block? I think what you want is practical not the theory.

Ever since I became a member of the bitcointalk community I discovered something, that there are two sets of people that are found in the forum - the theoretical and the technical. And between these two the former is simple to get knowledgeable with in no time even with a blank slate head about bitcoin before getting into the forum provided you're serious and ready to learn.

For that if the technical aspect of bitcoin it get less difficult in assimilating the technical terminologies and registers of this aspect of bitcoin if you before now have a prior basic background knowledge of computer sciences and other related field. Without which you are bound to face difficulty in getting a smooth understanding.

I'll advise you pitch your tent on the theoretical aspect of bitcoin as you're just taking flight in the industry as a newbie, drill yourself in it no need to rush towards the difficult side so you don't crash, with time and with the knowledge you would have build and equip with theoretically you can start carefully on the technical which may seems less difficult by then than you find it now.

For the technical these are the boards you can regularly visit for your build up.

First to be able to understand the technical part of cryptocurrency specifically cryptography you need to learn the programming language used to program a certain cryptocurrency. If you lack that knowledge, there is no way you can make yourself understand the technicalities of cryptography.

Second, you need to fully understand the terms used in cryptography, this way you will easily understand any use of these words in any discussion.  The link provided by the earlier replies are of great help but if you really want to understand the in-depth technicalities of cryptography then your first step is to learn the programming language used in creating such an application.
