Re: NEW! BTCLexicon.com - The most comprehensive bitcoin glossary anywhere!
Thank you! I added a list view so you can see all terms on one page now. Grid view is still the default, but List View is available.
Great
About the terms... I started out looking for purely "Bitcoin-related" terms... but people keep asking me questions like, "What's an ICO?" or "What's an NFT?"... etc.
To be clear, I view Bitcoin as gold and *all of the rest* as pyrite/tin foil (or just plain ol' scams). But, if I am building a fully-comprehensive bitcoin glossary meant to encompass the entirety of the bitcoin ecosystem... shouldn't I include the tertiary and also the sometimes-controversial terms as well? The normies will be looking for it all... and this is an opportunity to tell the real side of the story...
I did take extra care to use specific examples to help educate about the scammy nature of the altcoin ecosystem... so when you look for the term "ICO," for example... one quote might be given as: "My friend told me about the hot new ICO but it looks like a scam to me..." or in another example, I wrote: "There are a lot of altcoins but I am sticking with Bitcoin." Things like that to show the terms, but also to help educate.
Similarly, GUI, GPU, Java, Javascript, Solidity (and others) seem to have value as they are related to bitcoin in certain contexts.
That said... What do you think?

I can see the pros of adding these terms, however it'll be distracting when there are too many terms. One possible solution is to categorize the terms, such as
1. "Bitcoin-related" terms, such as "Satoshi", "Blockchain" and "Address"
2. "Cryptocurrency-related" terms, such as "NTF" and "Solidity"
3. "Technology-related" terms, such as "JavaScript" and "Java"
4. "Economic-related" terms, such as "FA" and "Futures Contract"
Although it takes lots of time and many terms could belong on multiple category.
P.S. Twenty years as a web developer and I am embarrassed to admit I had to lookup Immunify360... Must be some crapware installed on the host. I didn't set that up but I'll check it out! Thank you for letting me know.
I never say it's malware/crapware, but not really friendly to Tor user, i don't mind change relay few times though.
P.S. I don't know how to setup/remove such thing, but if you remove it, you obviously need to find another way to protect your site from all kinds of attack (such as DDoS, comment/pool bot and brute force admin login).
