Your answer offers only one addition instead of creating an encompassing answer. It would be better if you created a complete up-to-date answer that also added the resources linked in older answers that are still relevant and any other new ones that have cropped up in the last half year. As it is, it looks like promotion of a specific service that you might be affiliated with.

Why is this downvoted? It's a legitimate question to ask if someone created a Bitcoin link bank? The Bitcoin wiki has a link bank. Should we downvote their efforts?

@CharlesHoskinson I changed the language a bit to make answers a matter of fact rather than opinion.  Personally I'm voting to leave this open--this is an important, factual question with value for future users based on a real-world need.

Mods should at least post a comment after downvoting instead of forcing users to ask why the downvote. This is the only SE site where people get randomly downvoted without having any clue why.

# Authoritative list of Bitcoin resources?

Has any website compiled a reasonably authoritative and trustworthy list of Bitcoin resources? I'm building an appendix for my course and I'd like to see if I missed anything.

There are four really authoritative places for Bitcoin-related information that I can think of.

1. The [Bitcoin.org](http://bitcoin.org) homepage, which is managed by the core Bitcoin developers. All names listed on that site and references made can be considered authoritative.
2. [BitcoinTalk.org](http://bitcointalk.org), this was the homepage for the Bitcoin community from the start. Most of the first ideas were created here and still this is the best place to get information from other authoritative people strongly related to Bitcoin.
3. [The Bitcoin Wiki](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page), were you can find all technical specifications of the protocol as well as more basic information about how to buy, sell or use bitcoins. The wiki is maintained by the developers as well as insiders that helped shaping the protocol.
4. [Bitcoin on GitHub](https://github.com/bitcoin), were development of the main client happens and all changes to the protocol are implemented for the first time. You can also find a link to this place on the Bitcoin homepage.
