Hi MiningCoinsPool and Leomiles,
Thank you both for your replies and enthusiasm for n33bcoin! I’m excited to see your interest and happy to dive into your questions.
@MiningCoinsPool: No Discord group right now, as I’m keeping things lean while n33bcoin is in its early stages. Managing a server takes time I don’t have at the moment, but I’m open to community platforms later if n33bcoin grows. For now, BitcoinTalk is the perfect spot to discuss and share ideas—let me know your thoughts here!
@Leomiles: Thanks for the excitement! n33bcoin is a free, open-source project designed to help newbies and curious folks learn Bitcoin’s tech hands-on, not a financial “opportunity.” It’s a sandbox for experimenting with a Bitcoin fork without spending a dime. The real value lies in the education—saving you months of trial and error by providing a clear, practical way to understand Bitcoin.
How to Get Started:1. Visit
completenoobs.com for the n33bcoin overview and links.
2. Check out the
n33bcoin repo for the code and setup guide.
3. Follow the free tutorial on CompleteNoobs to fork Bitcoin and set up your own n33bcoin node. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough based on my own journey learning to fork Bitcoin, which took months to figure out!
4. Experiment! Run a node on affordable hardware (<£100), mine n33bcoins, or tinker with the code solo or with friends.
The tutorial is the core of n33bcoin, designed to make forking Bitcoin accessible, even if you’re new to crypto or coding. It’s part of the broader CompleteNoobs mission to share high-quality, libre-licensed tutorials that anyone can use, fork, or build upon.
About CompleteNoobs and Its Vision:n33bcoin is just one piece of CompleteNoobs, a project dedicated to free, open-source education in tech and crypto. The long-term dream is to create a decentralized platform—a blockchain-based wiki—where creators and learners exchange value directly. Imagine a system where users rate tutorials or content based on how useful they are, then reward contributors with crypto (like Bitcoin or Lightning Network payments) through a transparent “value-for-value” (v4v) model. For example, if a tutorial saves you hours setting up a Bitcoin node, you could tip the creators directly, and funds would be split fairly among contributors based on community ratings.
A key part of this vision is static documentation: tutorials, code, and guides that you can download and host yourself, on public or private networks. Why? Static docs are reliable and reproducible. For instance, a tutorial to flash a router with a verified binary (confirmed by a SHA256 checksum) will work the same way in 7 years as it does today. Unlike search engines, which change results, or AI, which can give inconsistent answers (like missing the ‘r’ in “strawberry”), static docs stay trustworthy. Plus, with a libre license, anyone can fork our tutorials, add their own sections, and share the value, making documentation faster and better for everyone.
This blockchain idea is still a long way off—I’m taking it one step at a time, and n33bcoin is my starting point to learn and share. But the goal is to empower creators to produce valuable content and let users reward them directly, all decentralized and transparent.
What’s Next?I’d love your feedback to shape n33bcoin and CompleteNoobs. What Bitcoin topics do you want to explore? Any ideas for tutorials or features? If you try the n33bcoin tutorial, let me know how it goes or where it could improve. Post here or PM me.
Best,
CompleteNoobs
