Hellooo welcome to Steemit :) lovely to have you here!! :)) You will enjoy Steemit!

Hi @cockroach What an odd name for a username haha At least they are one of the most resilient creatures on earth and resilience is one of the characteristics that you'll need. Things can get tough here specially with the mounting competition and dealing with the different people here. Anyway I would like to welcome you here at steemit and I hope you will enjoy it here. If you need any help just post a message in one of my post or mention me in one of you post and I will try to help you out whenever possible. See you around :)

Bienvenido amigo, el mundo de la criptografia es muy interesante...te sigo para leer tus publicaciones y apoyar en lo que pueda.

Welcome to Steemit! This is a great place to explore and share some of your thoughts in your research and exploration of cryto. They say jack of all trades and master of none, but jack of trades is the facilitator and he can see all and the pitfalls of others. Following

Welcome to steemit, @cockroach!

Crypto is such a hot field, and this is a great place to learn. I am sure you'll get a terrific time here.

My profile is @flashfiction and i would like to present you some links i found really useful when i first signed up here. They will make you start with the right foot on Steemit!

These links will all open on the SAME TAB (Yeah, i know...), so i recommend opening them with "right click->open in a new tab".

Link | Check | Description
------------ | ------------- | -------------
[Growing Fast](https://steemfollower.com/?r=6978) | Top | You **HAVE** to register here, if you want to build an audience **FAST**. It's a free service for boosting exposure, upvotes and followers. You just have to click on "login". Have your key at hand (That awfully long number you got when you signed up on Steemit). The tutorials are easy to follow.
[All about steem coins](https://steemit.com/steem/@hawaryatef/the-differences-between-steem-steem-dollars-and-steem-power) | Top | There are three coins of use on Steemit, and understanding them is critical for your success. This is a short explaining video, the very best i've found.
[Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) | Top | Even if you can use some basic HTML on your posts, the correct way to format them is NOT HTML. You use a marking ruleset called, yeah, "Markdown". Have this as a complete reference.
[Posting](http://theawarenessrevolution.com/10-tips-for-steemit-posts/) | Medium | The top activities on this site are posting, upvoting and commenting. This is an excellent tutorial about making your posts look great. Don't miss it!
[Upvoting](https://steemit.com/steem-help/@steempowerwhale/how-to-upvote-make-money-and-avoid-costly-mistakes-quick-and-easy-help-for-noobs) | Medium | Yeah, you tought upvoting was just a matter of machine-gunning your clicks and make easy bucks. Nah. It is actually a little more complicated than that. All you need to know is here.
[Better interface](https://busy.org) | Medium | Let's face it: The interface on Steemit is pretty basic. "Busy" is an alternate interface you can use, more polished and easy to navigate. Both of them can be used simultaneously. Again, you just have to login.
[Using Bots](https://steemit.com/steemit/@cerebralace/how-to-use-the-steemit-voting-bots) | Medium | There are a lot of things to learn about this platform, and understanding bots is one of the most important. They are little different services you can access for a fee. I found this tutorial extremely useful.
[Trevon James](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWZbtMeOAb_qpEVUl551l7w) | Medium | I know, i know... there are lots and lots of GREAT steemians here for picking one to recommend, but i just love Trevon's style. He explains EVERYTHING you need to know about Steemit (and crypto) in a funny, accesible way. Check him out.
[@flashfiction](http://steemit.com/@flashfiction) | **Awesome**| Well, duh. My profile! ;) I write short fiction and tutorials on creative writing. I would be honored if you'd follow me.

Anything i cand help you with, i'm at your service!

See you around!

Hey cockroach, nice to meet a jack to my jill-of-all-trades.  Sounds like we have some similar interests in the arts and I am also a novice with crypto and Steemit. Of what I have learned so far, I definitely know I am excited.

SQL seems to be a theme for me today.  Since it's computer science education week, I found a website that was giving away a free hour of coding but with absolutely no experience, I didn't know what language to pick.  My sister--an industrial engineer-- gushed about SQL but urged me to learn how to make a game/app so I would be motivated to keep up practicing the language by making something fun/personal.
