I thought it would be really cool to have an ultimate guide for those new to crypto currencies and the terms used. I made this mostly for beginner’s and veterans alike. I’m not sure how much use you will get out of this. Stuff gets lost on Reddit quite easily so I hope this finds its way to you. Included in this list, I have included most of the terms used in crypto-communities. I have compiled this list from a multitude of sources. The list is in alphabetical order and may include some words/terms not exclusive to the crypto world but may be helpful regardless.
2FA
Two factor authentication. I highly advise that you use it.
51% Attack:
A situation where a single malicious individual or group gains control of more than half of a cryptocurrency network’s computing power. Theoretically, it could allow perpetrators to manipulate the system and spend the same coin multiple times, stop other users from completing blocks and make conflicting transactions to a chain that could harm the network.
Address (or Addy):
A unique string of numbers and letters (both upper and lower case) used to send, receive or store cryptocurrency on the network. It is also the public key in a pair of keys needed to sign a digital transaction. Addresses can be shared publicly as a text or in the form of a scannable QR code. They differ between cryptocurrencies. You can’t send Bitcoin to an Ethereum address, for example.
Altcoin (alternative coin): Any digital currency other than Bitcoin. These other currencies are alternatives to Bitcoin regarding features and functionalities (e.g. faster confirmation time, lower price, improved mining algorithm, higher total coin supply). There are hundreds of altcoins, including Ether, Ripple, Litecoin and many many others.
AIRDROP:

feel free to comment words or terms that you feel should be included or about any errors I made.
Edit1:some fixes were made and added words.

When a thing is denied, something new starts at a higher level.
The update and iteration of the currency circle takes only a few days.
On August 13, Yam, the token of a popular DeFi project, plummeted by 98%, while YFI, another DeFi cryptocurrency, outran the digital currency Bitcoin Gold by value under capital operation.
According to their familiarity with DeFi, blockchain investors in 2020 can be divided into two categories. The "New" investors are active in DEXs such as UniSwap and Balancer, striving for hundredfold returns on investment amid fake projects, while the "old" investors stick to mainstream cryptocurrencies and advocate value investment in the three major CEXs.
Despite its long history, DEX did not prosper until recently. It has processed transactions of over US$520 million in the past 24 hours, and the trading volume for the past week has exceeded the figure across 2019.
But still, many people are stranger to DEX.
I. Will DEX shuffle the existing trading market?
Upon discovering something new, you can describe it, but never evaluate it superficially.
UniSwap occupies 55% of the entire DEX market. Celebrities in the circle enjoy discussing the changes brought by UniSwap on social media and how it will change the existing trading landscape.
On August 5, Jay, CEO of OKEX Exchange, publicly stated that "UniSwap can hardly replace the current mainstream exchanges." on Weibo.
He also listed two reasons:

1. With insufficient transaction depth, UniSwap cannot support large transactions;
   
2. UniSwap cannot set prices independently, but has to follow the prices set by other exchanges.
   

He also recognized UniSwap’s AMM model in the post.
Soon this post was criticized by Dovy, the founding partner of Primitive Ventures, to the effect that Jay had quite limited knowledge about DeFi and the reasons he proposed did not hold good.
She also mentioned the advantages of a new generation of DEX represented by UniSwap:
Traditional exchanges determine the price and market value according to a small number of chips in the market. By comparison, AMM relies on the entire LP pool to contribute liquidity, and a small number of chips will not lead to severe fluctuations in the price. The price follows the curve of the static liquidity pool within a time range, rather than the manually controlled order book.
2. Is UniSwap good enough to replace centralized exchanges?
Neither OK or Binance had expected that one day their arch rival was not each other, but the newly emerging decentralized exchanges.
With totally different operating methods and business models, DEX and CEX have their own merits.
CEX comes with evident problems. Ordinary users do not trust its security due to the rampant data cheating. For project developers, CEX requires high fees for token listing and maintenance.
The advantage of CEX lies in its low threshold and mature business model.
Just as Jay said, DEXs represented by UniSwap are still faced with great challenges posed by user habits. For example, UniSwap does not support limit orders or the candlestick chart, and users need to rely on a third-party Ethereum wallet for operation.
The innovative AMM model allows ordinary users and small market makers to get involved and earn market-making fees, reducing costs and improving liquidity.
According to the trading volume at this time, UniSwap may not be able to replace mainstream exchanges, but it is good enough to replace second and third-tier exchanges.
3. Is OneSwap an upgraded version or a copy of UniSwap?
"The success of UniSwap proves the necessity of the DEX that does not require permission and supports AMM in the market. However, UniSwap comes with two shortcomings. One is the lack of support for limit orders, which greatly restricts trading methods and liquidity; The other is the excessive transaction cost and poor transaction efficiency due to the limited processing capacity of Ethereum." - Yang Haipo
Recently, OneSwap, known as the upgraded version of UniSwap, announced that it will hit the market in early September, and has received an investment of US$10 million from CoinEX.
To develop an open-source centralized trading platform like OneSwap, it is easy to replicate the technique. But among so many Swap applications in the market, what advantages does OneSwap have over UniSwap?
1. Limit orders
Neither buyers or sellers of UniSwap can set prices independently; instead, they need to follow the prices set by other exchanges. If they want to buy tokens at a specific price, they have no choice but to wait till tokens at such a price appear in UniSwap, a waste of time.
Continuing the good practices of centralized exchanges, OneSwap supports the traditional order book based on rapid exchange, offering more flexible trading methods and further enhancing the liquidity of digital assets.
2. The candlestick chart and depth map
Without an order book, UniSwap has been criticized for its simple transaction interface which does not even contain the basic candlestick chart. As a result, it cannot satisfy numerous traders’ demand for data analysis.
To benchmark against the centralized exchange in terms of user experience, OneSwap has introduced functions such as the candlestick chart, order ticket, and depth map. Just like centralized exchanges with professional charts, OneSwap provided the price trend, trading volume, depth, and other information of different cryptocurrencies for users to set out informed trading plans.
3. Liquidity mining + transaction mining
UniSwap’s AMM model is believed to be a vital catalyst for its explosive growth. With an additional incentive mechanism of transaction mining besides liquidity mining, OneSwap leaves more core benefits to its users.
OneSwap will charge the Taker a fixed percentage of transaction fees based on the transaction amount, while the Maker does not need to pay. The transaction fees are divided into two parts: 60% for liquidity and 40% for the repurchase and burning of ONES. In transaction mining, both liquidity providers and traders will receive ONES as an economic incentive.
The market is looking forward to a new product that is as user-friendly as CEX and as safe as DEX. Is OneSwap qualified to meet such demands?

I know most of the people here won't get it, but this is the only reason why NANO is so low right now.

1. Marketing of NANO is terrible. Many people have no clue what NANO does or if it even exist. A significant volume drop indicates this aswell.
2. Binance banned people in US from trading on it's main page. Since most of the volume on Binance came from US, I can imagine this was also the reason of significant volume drop on NANO.
3. Reliable fiat gateway with low fees. No need to comment on this one.
4. Some people who do find out about NANO think it's too good to be true and don't want to buy as: "There must be something wrong with the coin if it's that good and it's not top 10". This can be also put into a marketing issue.
5. Bitgrail spectacle. This scares new investors and old/new whales of being dumped on. They would much rather have this Bitgrail stash shaken out now than to have NANO reach 50$ and suddenly get dumped on by Bitgrail stash.

Here's the truth: Reasons 1.-4. are very easily fixable. The only solution is aggressive marketing and things will start to fall on its place. Once NANO's team makes aggressive marketing moves and NANO get's added to Bittrex, Kraken, Poloniex, Binance US etc. people will be more aware of this coin. (Reasons 1-2. fixed) This will cause it's volume and price to rise.
Once this happens, NANO will become partners with fiat gateway with low fees which will cause more adoption. Once this happens price and volume will rise even more. (Reason 3. fixed).
After this, people that I mentioned in Reason 4. will start to FOMO in the coin because they "can't believe how stupid they were that they didn't buy the coin while it was dogshit cheap".
Here's another truth: Reason 5. will hunt NANO for many years just like Mt. Gox did with Bitcoin. It still won't stop NANO from growing, because it's fundamentally so much ahead of all cryptocurrencies.
People have no idea what is going on on the market right now. They are so depressed and can't imagine another alt season happening. It will happen and the coins with best fundamentals will skyrocket. A lot of you will miss out. That's the nature of the game.
What do I expect from NANO right now? Short term, I think we will probably fall to 0.7 USD or somewhere near that price. People are so bearish that I think this will be the final shakeout. I'm still buying at these levels, because this coin has a potential of reaching 100+$ USD if things go the right way and if NANO markets itself well enough. This is the chart that I agree with: https://charts.cointrader.pro/snapshot/TEqo3 .
Getting people familiar with NANO and having aggressive marketing from NANO team and our community will positively reflect on the price in the long run.
Hold on tight. The end is near. Come back to this post in 1 year and see the magic that happened. I'm not calling the exact bottom, but I'm 100% sure that NANO will have a higher price than this in the next 6 months.

A HISTORY OF HUOBI
Huobi was founded in 2013 by their current CEO and chairman, Leon Li. Li’s background includes having attended Tshingua University, specializing in Automation. Before starting the Huobi Group, Li spent time as a computer engineer at Oracle. In December of 2013, Huobi was named as the largest digital asset exchange operating in China. 2017 saw Huobi extend their limbs into Korea, Singapore, and Japan.
Currently, Huobi has headquarters of various financial sectors based in: Singapore; South Korea; Japan; Australia; Indonesia; Russia; Argentina; Thailand; and China. The company has strived to give customers not only a great exchange, but a great resource for any service one may need. Despite the many difficulties faced with Chinese government in regards to cryptocurrency laws, Huobi has managed to adapt to the changes and thrive globally, eventually branching off into various sectors including venture capital, a cryptocurrency wallet project, and a division dedicated to working with mining pools.
​
HUOBI'S PLATFORM
spot trading : Huobi offers several different platforms to serve any customer’s needs. For starters, Huobi offers a standard spot trading platform that operates similarly to many other spot trading platforms in the industry. The platform features a multi-timeframe chart, a depth chart, and integration with TradingView (including their tools). Customers are able to view the order book and the asset trading history, as well as their own personal order history. Limit orders, Market orders, and Stop-Limit orders are all available options for traders.
margin trading : For the trader that prefers to trade with a little more volume or risk, Huobi offers a Margin trading platform. Customers can apply for loans through Huobi to trade a greater quantity of cryptocurrencies and profit from the price spread. The original loan must be paid back, and accounts can be liquidated if the risk ratio falls below 110% (calculated as: [(Loaned Amount + Tradable Balance) Total Asset] / [(Interest Payable + Loaned Amount)] x 100%.) Traders can margin trade with Bitcoin; Ethereum; XRP; Litecoin; Bitcoin Cash; and EOS. These assets can be traded with USDT or BTC.
futures trading : Huobi also offers a Futures trading platform. While margin trading can be risky, trading contracts is said to be very high-risk. With that being said, Huobi offers Weekly, Bi-Weekly, and Quarterly contracts in Bitcoin; Ethereum Classic; Ethereum; EOS; Litecoin; Bitcoin Cash; XRP; TRX; and Bitcoin SV.
OTC(P2P) - The OTC, or over-the-counter, section of Huobi offers potential buyers and sellers a way to move large quantities of coins without exposure to the fickle exchange market. Certified merchants can register here, and slippage can be minimized by matching buyers and sellers directly instead of creating market orders.
​
​
HUOBI APPS
While you do have the online trading interface, Huobi does have computer programs and mobile apps that you can use.
I found that the PC programmes were more functional as they did not have to rely on the PC browser and were hence much faster. They also have better charting and you are in more control of your trading parameters. These programs are available on Windows and Mac devices.
However, if you are a trader that is always on the go, that is where the Huobi mobile apps come in. These were developed for the main exchange but you can switch to the derivative markets on the futures and swaps platform.
This was a pretty well designed application and you have one-touch ordering as well as some basic charting functionality. The app is available in iOS and Android and you can head on over to the respective app stores to get a sense of the feedback.

EXCHANGE SECURITY
Huobi operates a hot and cold wallet storage procedure. This means that they keep the vast amount of their coin holdings in an offline environment away from hackers. They then have a smaller percentage in “hot” wallets with multisig capability.
They also operate a decentralized server structure around the world which can ensure uptime irrespective of whether one of the servers goes down. You can think of this as effective load balancing.
Finally, they have anti DDoS measures in place. We all know that crypto exchanges are prime targets for Denial of Service attacks and it can be quite frustrating when these are perpetrated in peak market times.

IS HUOBI TRUSTWORTHY?
Huobi, like many exchanges in the space, has had, at one time, some shady history, but for the most part, has managed to maintain a clean reputation. Historically, Chinese exchanges have shown to operate in accordance with different standards, with many exchanges having to suffer at the will and whim of the Chinese government. Some of the controversy Huobi has seen in the past has been a result of this (particularly with the Chinese ban on ICO tokens). It should be noted that in 2017, the exchange did invest into “wealth-management products” using idle customer funds. This sort of activity shouldn’t be taken lightly.
However, with that being said, the exchange continues to turn over a large amount of volume. For the most part, the exchange can be considered a trustworthy platform to trade popular and exotic cryptocurrencies. This does not mean it is entirely safe to store user funds on the exchange, as the exchange (or the user funds) can be susceptible to risk at any given moment. No matter how comfortable one may be with the internet, one should always remember that the internet is not as safe as many would like to believe. Huobi does have measures in place in the unfortunate event that an account is breached, and if verifiable, the customer may be able to retrieve lost funds.
A unique feature offered on Huobi is their Official Media Authenticator. This essentially lets users enter the URL of a content channel to see if the channel is authentic. A feature like this, while seemingly simple, could save anyone from potentially losing their funds due to a scam or phishing website.

HUOBI REVIEW VERDICT
Huobi Global offers a signficant host of features to its users and has maintained its credibility over a long period of time. This is largely one of the main reasons it a ranked as a top 4 exchange by liquidity as its users trust their funds there.
After establishing itself in Asia, Huobi is trying to branch out and take on other areas of the globe which is great news for Western traders. Additionally, the Huobi prime platform could provide some great opportunities for the exchange users moving forward.

A NanoCharts driven update for those who want to take control of their Nano and select a rep for their voting weight.
For new community members, its worth pointing towards this video to learn about the ORV consensus system that Nano uses: https://youtu.be/LZ8TZFfYDcY
Ideally you are taking your coins off Binance (as number 1 rep in terms of weight and you can’t pick a rep there) or removing weight from another larger rep/or a rep controlled by a large entity. Most wallets let you pick a representative, and are even starting to provide additional functionality; surprisingly the NWC mobile apps don’t allow for representative selection right now.
Finding a rep can be easy using two main sources:

• https://nanocharts.info
• https://mynano.ninja

Nanocharts is a useful view from top reps in terms of weight and below; if you scroll down around the 133K Nano mark you’ll potentially find some reps who only need a but more weight to become a RR. NanoCharts also can help you find a rep, using its ‘need a representative’ function near the top of the page.
My Nano Ninja itself is linked from NanoCharts and gives users a great source for further digging into a reps details. Its pioneered the scoring system to help users choose reps, and has even forked the ever popular NanoVault with NinjaVault (which integrates some key functions such as the scoring system).
https://arewedecentralizedyet.com also gives us a wider perspective on decentralisation against other cryptos. I think the number of nodes we have without a monetary incentive is a good stat... and the it draws on the key Nakamoto coefficient from https://repnode.org/representatives/nakamoto (how many entities could collude to form a majority on the network - this number is ideally getting bigger). Unfortunately, they don't always pull the latest stats into their main screen.
Further help on Nano decentralisation could be found in the #decentralise channel on Nano Discord.

As a general rule, personally I would consider the following when picking a rep:

• Uptime
• Weight
• Specs
• Green Energy
• Active in Community
• Associated with a service you admire
• Been around for a long time
• Provider is fairly underused - we don’t want everyone on Digital Ocean
• Geographic area is under represented - different jurisdictions around the world to spread risk
• Confident (as possible) that the rep is not malicious

Current Status

We currently have 88 Principal Representatives (RR) that help secure the network (that have over around 133K Nano voting weight) and not all of those are online right now. It would be a good milestone to have 100 RRs, and even better to have 100 RRs that are online.
Since my last update (roughly) or worth mentioning:

• 5 less PRs than last time. I suspect the Bitcoin run has forced many to swap Nano for Bitcoin to join the fun. We've seen similar impact on PRs in the past.
• https://mynano.ninja/map provided a nice overview of Nano's spread. Hopefully we'll see PRs in South America soon, then some growth in Africa/Asia.
• Binance #1 has gained 200K Nano weight. Check out: https://reddit.app.link/OB1225lDDW from nanoissuperior for some guidance.
• NanoVault #2 gained 43K Nano weight. Its a great service (personal favourite) but please utilise its PR selection functionality as by default NanoVault will continue to gain weight as the Hardware Ledger wallet. We should take advantage of its functionality to decentralise Nano. See Cronoh’s previous video when it was in development - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/370266023905198085/559916782953955348/VaultReps.mov
• https://mynano.ninja/account/please-switch-to-an-active-representative is no longer voting (not sure who this was before the name change...). Please swap if you delegate to xrb_14hww1gr4d56ba5m9o4wukq648hhonu5camofscyr4p3icajy9b7od1u8dfy as it still has 193K Nano weight.
• Banano Airdrop is still in the PR range but they have good uptime so this will increase their Ninja score as the age increases.
• PR Gini co-efficient (a measure of how the voting weight is spread in the PRs) remains around 0.76

Notable Representatives (IMO) Not Rebroadcasting

• NanoQuake South America

https://mynano.ninja/account/xrb_34jodkgq6dko31s4hj7a18kf6ax8ax8n6c98eb5jqq56s9kt7bi9g4fidwbx
One I’m involved in and driven by a great little team of Nano (and Quake) enthusiasts. Setup by the indomitable jayycox (so its newness isn’t a concern for me). After a recent push, this is now only 28K Nano away from becoming a rebroadcasting rep.
Most importantly for me, this would be a good presence in South America (see https://mynano.ninja/map) if we can get this at PR status.

• Nano Peru Latino America

A newcomer to the Nano ecosystem, but their hardware seems pretty impressive and they intend to stick around the Nano ecosystem.
https://mynano.ninja/account/nano-peru-latinoamerica
It would be another presence in South America.

• Nano Node London

https://mynano.ninja/account/xrb_18bpu81x4oyqsjjsyaeb7ek4rag1bw8gerhaiumookzc4t5prrm4d7zg56ww
Good Ninja Score, just below the requirement.

• BitDesert

https://mynano.ninja/account/bitdesert
Creator of mynano.ninja. Another 50K needed here.

• VANO

https://mynano.ninja/account/vano
A new wallet on the scene that is building up its Ninja score but could be a worth selection. Another 80K needed for this to reach PR status, a 30K improvement over last month.

• Libertarian Node

https://mynano.ninja/account/xrb_3nnogsx1u7ye6snntq9fi1aakb489dsk94zyex8fdd5ioubmhep3o9sr7zsk
Good Ninja Score, just below the requirement.

• Norway Node

https://mynano.ninja/account/xrb_1hzoje373eapce4ses7xsx539suww5555hi9q8i8j7hpbayzxq4c4nn91hr8
Good Ninja Score and has fell just below the 133K requirement, and a good foothold in Norway.
https://mynano.ninja/account/norway-node

• And of course there is still the NANOODLE rep that can be bolstered:

Final Thoughts

• Anybody from Africa considered running a node? Be good to get on the continent. Or maybe an official node could be spun up/moved there? Did u/Soluchain set up a rep in South Africa?
• What if the dev fund voted for a a non official rep with good hardware and knowledge of Nano e.g. repnode, nanocrawler? Would this help increase our Nakamoto coefficient? Long term, I imagine the aim is to have no “Official” reps (which sounds centralised as a title).
• With version 19 in beta, and with recent resurgence of the markets, now could be a good time go tell people about Nano and ORV! Comments in general crypto currency groups sometimes sight us not talking about decentralisation even though we are in a good position to make our ecosystem quite decentralised.
• Those below Principal Representative (PR) level to make themselves more known in the community so that we can get to 100...
• V19 will give us a better opportunity to measure the voting latency for PRs as a proxy for the quality of the underlying nodes (websockets will hopefully help). This could be an important factor in future Ninja scores so that users pick powerful nodes to support the network.
• Another codebase that supports hardware wallets (which would be impressive for the ecosystem) or more awareness of the NanoVault derived variants so NanoVault isn’t the only place for Ledger support.
