Bitcoin Forum

Hi All!  Clearly my glasses need checked since it took me about 15 tries to register on this forum.

Just wanted to introduce myself here.  I have a few block erupter usb's on my desk as do my office mates and we just kinda thought it was a neat idea.  Though we're engineering grad students and not econ so maybe bitcoin isn't the best place for us to be having some fun, but it is fun!

welcome, and now that you're here, you have to wait 5 posts to be let out of the sandbox.

rediculous, but I suppose it stops the spammers.

I'd be more worried that it took 15 tries to register =)

You'll probably have a good time looking over the ASIC specs

15 times? Didn't have such problem when I registered. Hi, btw.

I almost gave up! :(

I find it infuriating and ridiculous that every single website I've ever visited uses CAPTCHAs in completely the wrong way: they make you input a bunch of information, and then when you (inevitably) fail the CAPTCHA entry, you end up having to re-enter your password (and sometimes other fields) before resubmitting.

Instead the pattern should be: FIRST solve the CAPTCHA, THEN be directed to the actual registration page -- that way you don't have to keep retyping shit over and over. Submit once and it's done!

Edit: Hah! Irony of ironies -- First I tried to submit this post, and then I was sent back to the edit page with a red warning: "While you were typing, a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post." Okay, so I scroll down and look at the new post -- nothing worth editing my reply over, hit submit. Then I'm told I already posted, and can't resubmit for 360 seconds. @!##@#!

You can disable this warning in your control panel.

Wait till you find about about the post limit.  8)

Haha how much is the post limit?

Only took me 2 tries ;)

Let me guess, you troubled by the captcha right?
Welcome anyway!

yep, the use of the captcha on any site needs to be used well, having to resubmit a page of data fields is a pain. All designers need to be aware of how the user experience will actually go.

Yes, although then you have to have a three strike rule or something, otherwise some stupid robot will try to bruteforce his way through it and that way lie DOS and other problems. Not that having to reenter fields stops those in the first place...

Now that i think about it calling it State-of-the-Art doesn't make a good argument and i have no others left.

Yeah, I know - one post!

Ought to be enough to make anyone run from the site screaming. It's almost as much of a commitment as marriage...


Edit: Can't spell site

Same here, i cant register and when its done ... i cant login!

hey welcome to the forum!
good that you finally made it on here :D
didn't knowthere could be so much trouble registering

I think the Captcha is part of NSA's profiling plan.  One try - born after 1990.  Two to five tries - born before 1990.  More than five tries - born before 1960.

LOL! Sounds like a fool-proof method to me...

Just wait till you have a technical question and the only place you can post is in the Newbie section, where no-one will answer your question! Grrrr!

Seems like this policy surpess spam but promotes meaningless posts  ;D

You can listen to the letters :)


Welcome.

I had to do a search for the forum newbie post and PM rules. A little crazy but I guess its there for a reason

I can get past it the first time and I was born before 1990.

Then that hero status is well deserved.

Im waiting 20 minutes to post again

NSA weakened every single security product made in USA, otherwise they do not give export permission. It include PGP in 1997 with weakened key and 3rd party key, sort of recovery key introduction. What is interesting that even after that happens Tim Zimmerman swears, that there is no backdoor in PGP till I'm here. That gives some clues how much you can trust his current secure phone project.

Do you know anything about Phil Zimmerman and PGP if you don't even know his name?

Its frustrating this rules but I think they are usefull to control spammers.

I wish to write about a deposit problems in Vircurex but this forum is very strict with newbees :(

I will have to be more "old member".

EDIT: "DEPOSITS ARE CREDITED NOW". Issue Fixed.

Registration can be hard, but it is completely worth it.

I think it's quite alright to require a post in the newbie section, keeps the forum from being flooded by people who are unwilling to do more than filling out a registration form. Anyway, I've been mining litecoins for some months now, on a 5-gpu system. The only problem is that the room i put them in is not well-ventilated, so it gets very hot, but it's the only room where I can put them without being bothered by the sound. So I thought I'd register and ask people's opinions.

Cheers

I'm frustrated by this sandboxing process too. I understand it but I've been registered here for a couple of years. Today I want to send someone a PM but I find out that I can't because I haven't made any posts yet. I hope I can get this restriction lifted very soon.  :(

I recall having similar issues.

Welcome aboard  ;D
