I need to add just one user field that is very critical for my case. Bitcoin address. Is there some easy way?

Yes, there is. Look in the `Customize > User Fields` admin section 😉

One more question? What does Conformation custom field mean? How it works?

Is there a simple way yet for an admin to view and edit custom fields on a user’s account?

Right now I’m database diving, and it’s not a lot of fun - but, I feel I may be missing just where these show up…

They should appear on [https://discourse.example.org/admin/users/watchmanmonitor](https://discourse.example.org/admin/users/watchmanmonitor) and be editable on [https://discourse.example.org/users/watchmanmonitor/preferences](https://discourse.example.org/users/watchmanmonitor/preferences).

</div>

Is there a simple way to edit the userfield for all or a group of users in bulk? I’ve just added a new user field after launching my forum and would want to fill this field for the existing users, currently the only way to do it is by Admin-\> Users-\> Click on the user’s name → show public profile → Preferences → Fill the field → save changes  
then repeat for the next user 😓  
is it possible to show the custom field(s) on the Users page along with their email address and statistics?

You need to replace `discourse.example.com` with the domain of your site.
