Title: Step by step
Post by: polyphemusperception on March 21, 2013, 06:45 am
Hi there community,
Looking to get started with bitcoins, wallets, encryption and the like....but...
Everything here seems a bit convoluted to me...
Is there someplace on the wiki with some step by steps to get a person started?

Having never used these items before in this capacity can make for a hair pulling scenario in a short while by trying to hop from message to message to get all of the details.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.  :)

hey tharr
first use a VPN or a web proxy like hidemyass to change your IP address, or tor since you are using it already. (highly recommend encryption with TrueCrypt first) Then use startpage to search "how to use the silkroad" or "gwern". I just posted a thread here in the n00b section that has some tips you might benefit from. good luck

Hi, thanks for the reply...
I am already using a vpn and the tor browser...
The info I am looking for that I have no experience with is the bitcoin/currency and how to use or set it up.
I understand the concept..but do I need to download a wallet then setup something online.... just looking for a walk through of some kind..
