You don't HAVE TO. You can choose to, if you want to, or you can choose not to and maybe someone else will.
and the OP might feel hurt because we seem to be doing nothing but disagreeing with him.
He might, but if we explain the details well enough, hopefully he'll feel appreciative.
I just think this is a way of learning that's not efficient, not for him, not for us...
It's not. But I still enjoy it. If people ONLY learned via the MOST EFFICIENT method, then all other methods wouldn't exist. Besides, what is efficient for one may not be efficient for others.
So it would be better if he just read a good book, a whitepaper or watched one of those in-depth youtube videos...

Maybe he will, and you can certainly suggest that as an option, but as long as he's willing to type out his questions here, I'm willing to answer them and share details that he may misunderstand.
I think most people that know me, know that in general i'm not the worst guy around here (when it comes to newbie-friendlyness)...
Nope. You're definitely typically quite helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The only reason I'vee got you blocked its your sig ad.
In this particular case i just think the OP has to change his strategy from "posting things he knows little about" to "reading before posting".
He doesn't "have to". He could. And maybe he should, so it's okay to suggest it. But if he chooses not to, then this is the best opportunity I have to help him.
It's not only about this thread tough... OP has been here for exactly 8 posts, and already he has made numerous completely wrong assumptions
And I've responded to a few of them. He'll get there eventually (assuming he actually wants to).
Was that him? When I saw that thread, I just bailed. I found it difficult to understand what the original post was even trying to imply.
It seems like every time he starts a thread, people jump in and contradict him at every turn because he lacks the basics... Can't be fun for him either..
It certainly would be better if people could give some details as to WHY his assumptions are wrong, and what actually happens, and how it ties into his misunderstanding. That would help him get to a better understanding faster.
Just my 2 satoshi's tough... You're welcome to keep on answering questions if you want to, obviously you're free to do so


. I will.
