As I said, [url=http://archive.is/jAWju#selection-477.39-477.110]I am a new member[/url] and doing a lot of on forum reading. Yesterday, I noticed [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4609442.0]this topic[/url] from one of the admin (I figured out that the forum has two admin: Theymos and Cyrus, please correct me if I am wrong). Excellent Idea but I really do not have any clue that how will you guys eventually implement it on a forum. However, it's obvious that you guys have thousand times better knowledge than me about the forum so, you guys will figure it out.

While I was reading other topics and searching for the stuffs that interest me, I figured out that there are actually a lot of good tutorials already exists on the forum however all of them are basically text articles. I still have not seen any video tutorials (please excuse me if I am wrong, may be there are some). I think, visual learning is the best and quickest learning method. So having this "Idea: Courses" from the admin in mind, I thought why not I join with you guys and be a supportive one. I hope this will help a lot of members even guests who are looking for some visual learning.

Disclaimer: This is an on going workshop and I will edit update the topic to make it more accurate. Please be with me. I have plans to create tutorials about Bitcoin Wallet (how tos), how tos about PGP encryption/decryption since I am a big fan of privacy, may be some how tos tutorials about the forum itself etc. I will see how it goes. Please feel free to give me your constructive thoughts too. I would love to hear from you.

Having that in mind, let's start with few how tos about Bitcoin wallet.

[size=13pt][b][u]Getting started with your first bitcoin wallet (Desktop wallet):[/u][/b][/size] We will use Electrum wallet for these tutorials. We have everything we need in an Electrum wallet. Please download it from [url=https://electrum.org/#download]here[/url]. Since I use Windows, my tutorials will be Windows version. If you are using a different OS then I hope using the idea of these tutorials, you will figure out how to work with it for your OS too. Thanks for understanding.
