Somewhat Vim
Vim setup as it happened
Install
Do it. Arch in WSL, and, for the hell of it, Windows. This describers the Arch setup. Nothing to see here, pacman/yum/whatever.
Learn me some Vim
Mostly https://pinboard.in/search/u:thomasn?query=vim
Plugins
Choosing dein written by Shougo as a replacement for Neobundle, which was forked from Vundle. According to Herrington Darkholme , "dein.vim is a plugin manager focusing on both installation performance and startup performance"..
Spiffing.
Follow install instructions:
add the boilerplate to ~/.vim/vimrc as directed
add call dein#add('ycm-core/YouCompleteMe')
add call dein#add('lervag/vimtex')
Now uncomment the "check and install" code:
if dein#check_install() call dein#install() endif
Restart Vim. Nada.
Clear cache: :call dein#recache_runtimepath() Whee! Plugins downloaded!
YouCompleteMe - (actually don't bother)
pacman -S cmake mono go npm cd ~/.vim/bundles/repos/github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe python3 install.py --all
.... fails with Rust panic (!)
deocomplete
pacman -S python-msgpack python-pip pip3 install --user --upgrade pynvim
LaTeX
Using vimtex and YouCompleteMe, as per reddit:@Shwenker.
On-save creation of pdf with latexmk -pdf -pvc - install texlive-core.
.... detects presence of foo.tex but conversion to pdf fails...

tl;dr version
Get an account at CEX.IO.
Connect a bank card.
Buy some Bitcoin.
Learn more about it all.
(optional) Buy more.
(optional) Obsess feverishly about trading Bitcoin for other coins.
verbose version
Create an account on https://cex.io on desktop browser
Do hideous validation process. You'll need a passport or Driving Licence. You'll take a selfie of yourself holding a bank card. Your soul will be their property until the end of time. Etc.
Add a credit or debit card and go through another validation (they make a small charge, you phone your bank and ask how much it was, use this to validate).
Buy All The Coins! (But not too much until you've done the next step)
READ ALL ABOUT IT! Reading list below. Articles, videos, podcasts etc.
Trade. Buy other coins (altcoins, like ETH, LTC etc) with your BTC.
Profit. Oh no, wait...
Optionally, install the CEX.IO app
Download the CEX.IO app - works ok on Android, dunno about iOS. Connecting this to your account is non-intuitive, involves a QR code:
Install app
On laptop browser, log in, Click username top right
Click Profile
Select CEX.IO mobile tab
Generate Activation Key
Show QR code
On app, use QR code login and scan code on laptop screen
You can now do basic trading from your phone.
Optionally, install the TabTrader app
It's free. Use API keys to connect it to your CEX.IO account.
Optionally, create accounts on other exchanges
CEX.IO allows you to buy a small range of cryptos using Fake Money (aka Pounds Sterling). You can trade these on CEX.IO, or (website only) transfer funds to other exchanges. Some to try:
Bittrex (US)
Cryptopia (NZ)
Liqui.io (Ukraine)
hitbtc (London etc)
Very optionally, take it seriously
Get a Coinigy account
Get a TradingView account
Build a balanced portfolio so you Don't Lose Money
Watch video series by Luc Thomas (QuickFingersLuc)
Download the spreadsheets from Carter Thomas (CoinMastery.com)
Get the Enigma Catalyst alpha version, look at automating trading strategies in Python (a good reason to buy ENG, in my view)
Look at ICOs - see cryptocopy.me, Ian Molina, ICo Alert etc who are offering ICO analysis. Pick the right one and you could see 100-fold gains. Or not.

Passing Thoughts
Most cryptocurrencies can be subdivided as small as you'll want to go. If you want to buy £100 of BTC (Bitcoin) then as of today (14 Dec 2017) you'll probably get about 100 "finneys" - a finney being 1.0e-4 BTC - a ten-thousandth of a bitcoin.
