[GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread
Two months ago, Vod suggested a "Guide" subforum. I can't make that, but I can start with a list of threads that belong there. If this list gets long enough, I hope all listed threads can be moved to a subforum.
For maximum exposure, I may move this thread between Meta and Beginners & Help once in a while.
Please post guides that should be added. I've already found suggestions from several users. For the sake of keeping this overview short, I won't keep a list of who gave which suggestion. I've edited some of the titles, click the link to read the original.
If something isn't worth being on this list, or can be replaced by a better guide, please discuss that in this topic.
If the list gets long enough, I'll add more categories.
