As you can see, I'm a complete newbie; tailless and headless. I have no direction and I seek one. Educate us on the dos and donts of the forum.
How is growth measured here?
First understand that here is a discussion forum, so you are not under pressure to impress anyone and nothing like you failed. You are not in competition with anyone.
While other forums discuss other things, he discuss bitcoin as the name implies. You can also discuss altcoins, politics, gambling, economics, trading etc in thier various boards.
As a newbie, appear as a newbie such that as you grow in the forum you grow in experience and bitcoin knowledge.
If you really want to last long here do not plagerise (to copy other people's one claiming it to be yours).
Do not spam and do not check. Abide by the rules and you are good.
