Work your way up, that's the only way to get to posting as you know, when you get finished with the altcoins keep working your way up to BTC, understanding BTC sure makes the alt's easier to play with, makes me wonder why so many of us spend so much time lurking before we create a user name  ::)
Aww well, welcome!

The question is why the admins here assume that everybody who's  new here is new to crypto? Why these stupid post restrictions?

What would be interesting if there was a test we had to complete before we created an account. This would prevent people creating multiple account they still could but it would a lot longer than using a different email address and username also the user level is determined on the pass mark. Just an idea.

Some of us have never used a forum before, shoot, sometimes I want to treat it like fb, the new users unfamiliar with crypto quite possibly could cause a whole lot of clutter, their are alot of reasons, a lot of users have been new to crypto, after being a part of the forum for awhile clutter is tiring, countless repeated questions, suggestons, threads that are identical to so many others, if it takes me  5 second's to read clutter on every board I visit every time I go to it and it is on page after page, the seconds start to add up.
There is a Whitelist where you can request out of newbie boards https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15911.0 pass that bit of info on.

Thanks for the welcome...  I have used other forums before (different hobby).  I hate to admit it, but DOGE gave me the mining bug again.  Tried it when BTC first came out, gave my son everything I earned and then he lost his wallet file!!  Had some extra parts sitting around and threw together a nice mining unit!!

Now mining with 2 R9 280x's and getting about 1.6M out of them...  Plus it keeps the basement warm here in the winter!!!   :D

Welcome to the group - you will be able to post soon :)

Indeed, there are many people new to crypto and veteran forum users, and many people new to forums but experienced at cryptocurrency!
