I think this is a big issue in the bitcoin world. Everyone and their grandma is starting a "newbie guide" I feel if you have an issue of how the wiki states things, then add your fixes. I personal think the bitcoin wiki is the best guide, cause many smart people have written it. So I think while your site is ok at best, I think take your knowledge and put it on the wiki and help it grow so newbies have one place to begin and not 20 different sites all with different explanations.

Thanks for the feedback, and I clearly get your point. Many people start a newbie guide, write a few sentences and then forget about it. When I first learned about bitcoin I tried to google some newbie guides, but most of them are, not to hurt anyone, shit. I do get your point about the wiki being the best source since it has a lot of wise heads put together. What I'd like to do is "dumb down" the wiki a bit. You gotta face it, the wiki is quite gibberish for someone who's just learning about bitcoin.

In a nutshell, thanks for the feedback, but I'm still going to give it a shot. What's the worst thing that can happen?

You can try, but just know your hurting the bitcoin world more than helping. You missed my point where you can edit the wiki, and help grow the wiki so all people can benefit, so if you think something isn't worded correctly or the "jargon" is something that isn't clear, edit it, make it more clear, and help more people than your site will reach.

Ah, I do get your point. Well, I'm not exactly hurting the bitcoin world, I'm just not making the wiki more suitable for everybody. Well, I'll make sure to contribute to the wiki somehow. Although, we should keep in mind that you can't please everyone. If you oversimplify things, people who are used to "tech talk" and jargon are gonna get pissed, and vice versa. Well, I'm just trying to be nice, I appreciate your feedback and I will make sure to try to be as useful as possible.
