Jump-starting Crypto: Full Resource Hub

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Now more than ever do I witness or am approached by people every day who want to either get started in crypto, are very misinformed, or aren't reaching their full potential in this sector. I am by no means an expert and will always be learning. But, I've decided to create a reliable hub of public resources and tools to be used in your journey - all in one place! I will be updating this as I go and am definitely open to any suggestions or additions to this. One of my goals is to be adding some real value to anybody in the crypto space because if I had known what I know now I would've saved myself a lot of inevitable mistakes and most importantly time. You have 24 hours in a day so use 23 of them to sharpen your skills as you only need 1 to execute.

Market News and Tools

http://www.coindesk.com - Overview of what's going on in the crypto world
http://cryptopanic.com - An aggregator of various crypto sites and news, filterable. The pro version to customize the feeds but the free version is good enough for most.
http://coinmarketcap.com - Not just for checking prices, they also are the most convenient way to start your research as they have the blockchain explorers, official website links and also a useful API that can be linked to Excel.
http://cryptomaps.org - Visualization of price across different segments, primarily hashing functions and ICO release dates
http://onchainfx.com - A better version of coin market cap, has all sort of columns and you can add flags. Only downside is it only has 61 cryptos, but its always adding news ones.
http://solume.io - Compares the number of Twitter mention increase decrease to price
http://eveningstar.io - This is basically like Morning Star except for cryptos
https://bitcoin.tax - For calculating taxes owed on your crypto gains

https://ethgasstation.info/ - Shows current information about Ether gas price. Great to determine what gas price to set for transactions

Portfolio Management

Use these apps to easily track or manage your own portfolio
• Delta (personal favorite)
• Coinstats
• HODL

ICO Resources

http://icotracker.net - For looking at what ICOs are coming up
http://icobench.com - Another ICO tracker which does nice summaries, shows teams, milestones, financials and gives a rating for each ICO
https://icodrops.com/ - Shows additional lists of ICOs in a more simplistic view
https://icoreview.site/ - Site for lending coin ICOs

Communities

BitcoinTalk Forums - Probably the best place to discuss crypto. Much more intelligent discussion than reddit subs.

Wallets

Where should I store my BTC?
The best and most secure place to store your currencies would be a hardware device such as:
www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s
www.trezor.io/
www.keepkey.com/
DO NOT BUY USED HARD WALLETS

The following web/browser based wallets are less secure but provide a free alternative to cold storage:
https://www.myetherwallet.com/ - Personal favorite and probably the most secure alternative. It has the ability to generate wallets instantly in addition to various other features.
https://metamask.io/ - Ethereum based wallet and browser.
https://www.parity.io/ - Ethereum based wallet and browser. Also has a Windows client available for download.
https://www.exodus.io/ - Downloadable client to secure, manage, and and exchange select blockchain assets.

Transaction Trackers

These websites can be utilized to track your generated transactions on the blockchain:
https://live.blockcypher.com/ - For several options of blockchains
https://blockchain.info/ - For Bitcoin transactions
https://etherscan.io/ - For Ethereum transactions
