What do you think to having a Technical Library on the site? This would be an area where people can post articles about anything they may think useful relating to Crypto Currencies. Topics could include getting the full Bitcoin client running, rescuing CounterParty Wallets, etc. Possibly even having programming tutorials.

Ideally we would also have a librarian responsible for indexing under various topic headings, replacing superseded documents, etc. People could test out the tutorial to iron out any mistakes and improve the quality. I'm quite happy to do some of this kind of work.

Ultimately we could build the definitive library of all things Crypto Currency on the internet. This should drive more people to the site. May be some sections would require ownership of LTBcoin to gain access to the full article, thus encouraging more participation.

What do you think, good or bad idea?

Thanks, Jason

  That would be cool, are you thinking something similar to stackexchange that has the up/down vote on answers so that accurate and helpful things are higher up?

  I known they are working on a reddit style up/down vote mechanism but having a dedicated subforum would be nice for sorting purposes.

  This is an awesome idea! If there were a wiki like section where content was decentralized, I think it could work.

  The blog posts on the front page are excellent. There are members who are already contributing at the level required for quality tutorials. However, the amount of spamish or minimal content posts on the forums would lead me to believe that people would copy paste tutorials from other sites or post redundant information. Having a librarian would be good, but that person(s) would end up looking through mediocre posts and finding nothing of real value.

  If a library token were created I think that would improve things because token holders would be interested in developing tutorials and post in tcv categories do not count towards a users proof of participation.

  I think @cryptonaut is working on that!
