5 spam posts and 4 hours of idling will get you there.

Given how often it is asked, I really wish that the answer to this question was:

"As soon as you learn how to read".

Does it have to be 5 different threads or does this post count as 2?

How does mining work? If you learn PGP does it help or no?

You run a mining program that packages up transactions, builds a block header and starts computing SHA256 hashes.  It continues to increment the nonce and recalculate the SHA256 hash until it finds a hash value that is lower than the current target.  Then broadcast the block to any connected peers.

No, PGP does not help with mining.

How is this an issue. Just by reading and responding I hit Jr. Member on my first night here. Seems to me anybody that is complaining about the post/time limits isn't putting anything back into the community....not that I really put anything but snark and laughs back in. But wtf? 4 hours and 5 posts is a gimme.

From what I read, your "Total time logged in" will need to be four hours, and you also need to make five posts here.
