Greetings! Welcome to the platform. We all start with varying understanding of cryptocurrencies and curation; do not be afraid to ask questions! I have been spending a lot of time in the Steemit.chat and find many users like to be helpful in understanding the basics of this community. Plenty of posts explaining how things work as well.. You are on the right track, don't get too caught up in the technical- stay active in creating content like this- be social and network your way to higher exposure and you will see more change in your wallet. Hope you find what you are looking for here- looking forward to your posts! Peace and blessings.
