It's alright to ask dumb questions as a newbie, you're in a learning process and getting acquainted with the forum. There are already existing tools you can use to learn how the forum works, one of which is the search option; you can search for anything on the forum as lots of content has been shared already and most of your questions already answered. If you don't get an answer to your question, you can then ask on the Beginners and help board.

As long as you out in effort, you'll be able to learn from the forum and possibly contribute to it too.

You could face harsh reception from some forum members when you ask some sort of dumb questions, but as a new person especially someone fresh to cryptocurrency and Bitcoin you should not be discouraged by these sort of responses but rather focus on those who understand your position as someone new in the market and someone willing to learn. And also as a new person to Bitcoin, your dumb questions will be tolerated at first by some people but if you continue to ask these dumb questions, that is showing no sign of learning or improving in the knowledge that has been given to you, then a lot of people may become hostile to you to an extent and won't want to continue with sharing knowledge to you. So as knowledge is shared to you you have a job and the duty to try as much as possible to understand it and move on to the next position.

Read sticky threads to start.
[Bitcointalk sticky threads] Newbies - read before starting.

Simply create account and make this topic to ask, it shows that you are not ready to learn.

To be kind, I'll quote this one.

Perhaps I'm too jaded, but whenever somebody's 1st post is something along the lines of "I am new here," I have to automatically assume they're not new, lol. Its like no shit you're new you only have 1 post, why announce it to everybody?
