Insofar as is relevant here, my “style” is faithfully to continue applying Lauda’s style. I offer hereby to serve as an executive editor, not to rewrite the thread from scratch. I have no desire to create my own wallets thread; frankly, I would rather spend the time writing my own wallet. I have been intending that for awhile.
I think you and suchmoon are right, what I understood from suchmoon post is that you can come up with a new thread about 'bitcoin wallet for newbies', the rest is left to you, you can do whatever you like, if you want to edit the thread, but distinctly referenced it to the original work of Lauda with the link available on the new topic that you created, I think you have nothing to be worried about. I may not be totally right, but I think you can send PM to theymos about this before any edition to give you the conditions to meet before the thread will be eligible to be pinned.
I think if you have done this before without any notice until you created a new topic about it would be better, distinctly referencing it and stating that it is the original work of Lauda will make it credible if your work is actually credible. If it deserves to be pinned, it would be pinned.
