Bitcoin Forum

Wow i never knew i would have to write an essay to eventually be able to post on the Bitcoin Forum.It was a lot easier to buy my first bitcoin than this , Its a bit like posting on a dating website and you know most of us men cant be bothered posting a 300 word description of what our interests are? who our ideal partner is ? etc
obviously its a one word answer
interests =  Bitcoin,
Ideal partner = Bitcoin (virtual doesnt nag just increases in value :)

hard and stony way to the first non-newby-reply  ;D

There is no right way or wrong way by the looks of it, just keep trying, like the green card

Yeah.  I've been surprised by the serious nature of getting to post on the non-newbie forums.

Guess it must have been a real cluster of spammers and jokers in order to need such serious rules throttling back posts from new users.

Ahhh, the march of progress.

If you would have bothered to read the newbie stickie it says you also have to wait 4 hours. I'm getting tired of noobs complaining about the restriction;) It's normal forum etiquette to read stickies and such before you even make a post. Newbie jail is good, read the stickies.

looks like im in here a long time then, never was good at doing homework at school especially when teacher said "must read more", or doing a business plan for the bank manager, but until then i have my bitcoins to keep me company

I've been hanging out here a heckuva lot longer than for hours though, and it says I've only been logged in for 2 hours 37 minutes...???

You can't climb a smooth mountain.

Its a bit like waiting patiently to see if the price of bitcoin will rise or fall, fail or succeed

Seriously though I would love for the Bitcoin price to drop substantially.. even to $10 as some people have mentioned so us newbies can buy lots more and then it goes to the moon

Hellooooo...?

_{I think they've forgotten about me}

@ chuffminer ...Fucker

 ;D

Actually I'm starting to like it down here. Stockholm syndrome maybe?

yeh one can get used get a comfort zone real quick, how did you become a jnr member ....lucky you

lucky you. still got some sunlight ;)

2 hours 58 minutes it says now.

Weird.  Wonder what kind of algorithm they are using to create "bitcointalk time?"

Yes, I agree. Pretty pointless as it's just going to create a bunch of crap post and replies.  ???

Im over 4 hours does that release me into the wild, or to get eaten by the moderators

I read somewhere that you automatically get upgraded when you hit four hours.

Guess not.

wow actually yes, ive just seen i'm now a junior member , yippeee, now i have to do my homework to see what i have to do next , i will always remember you newbies, your always in my heart  ;D

Geez, I'm a full member already, apparently...but still stuck with the newbie stuff.

How do we get outa here , does that mean we can still only post on the newbie site , i want to go to the moon not just mc donalds, i want i want i want

I've got to admit my first experience in this website isn't going well, I had to jump through less hoops when I bought my house.  Along with only being able to post once every 6 minutes is INFURIATING, especially when simple things like LOGGING IN trigger the timer.

But I guess when you think about it it's not that bad a price to pay to filter out the asshole kids that no doubt shit up the place.

Mined my first coins back in 2011, been lurking on these forums for a couple years and had mixed results from a few trades. How many posts do we need to get out of this newb section?

how did you become a full member so quickly, im writing to my MP

wait...
...i got upgraded?!

You don't need to write an essay,Just waiting for 4 hours while being active and browsing and posting a single reply (and the one line ones work too I guess) so it's more about waiting and browsing/looking around than writing.

@ deborah, we look at you in awe.... your a full member ,  show us the way

I haven't the slightest idea...lol...

I post a reply and nothing happens - I am down with the little forks and hot coals...

It's Easy post  a reply then wait 4 hours then your good to go.

the worst part is every 2nd post i get that annoying "wait 360 seconds" crap

You have to be active, i.e read stickies or post here. If you log out the timer stops, same if you go AFK. This what I've seen other users say.

My original and FIRST post threw a '360 seconds since last post' warning! Duh? It was FIRST post!

Just need to post a question about cpuminer 2.3.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 that stopped working... wait 4 hours... yawn...

Actually, I see they have an actual "rank" of "full member"...lol...I ain't up to that yet.  I had just added my own random adjective when I described myself there awhile ago.  Sorry!

I didn't mind the essay.  I don't really blog or journal so it was kind of nice to do a quick recap of how I ended up getting involved with bitcoin and crypto in general.

And welcome from a fellow n00b and longtime lurker!

No, that isn't right.  I bet I've been on the site a total of 25-30 hours the past 2 days, and I've only been credited with being here 3.5 now....

between us we should work it out , meanwhile just keep posting. whilst saying that I need email data bases for a social mission to help mass adoption of the crypto currencies

Is part of this built on the number of posts, you think?

Whats worse than newbie status, is the 3 minute post wait time. But then the forum software thinks you double post, so you can't post what you wanted to post even after 3 minutes. It feels like hell.

That being said, I'm a jr member now, and I wasn't scared away. So I like this place, and maybe its a good deterrent.

It seems to start at 5 minutes, actually.

I think I'm down to just two minutes now between posts...

I like it also, please moderator leave me here forever

LOL...

Im now out of the creche and fully fledged , if you want some free crypto coins go to the UFO coin post and mention me KER, HE/SHE ive you some freebies whilst stocks last. dont forget to mention me guys n girls and i will return the favor, I will find the link in 360 seconds

Here is the UFO coin link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=403318.msg4365466#msg4365466

hopefully some freebies still around, the guy is cool, hovering near the moon

I laughed ;D this newbie restrictions looks funny right now.

hmm  :) hey all soooo I'mma stuck in the newbie cells .. :) been reading for days before this well at least the forum safeish from the trolls ^^

Here's my big substantial newbie post.

My first encounter with Bitcoin dates back to year 1849. I was a tall, slander, handsome, scrubby but most importantly of all - single - dude. I was a visionary and a forward-thinker. I discovered the "bit" part of bitcoin at an early age but it wasn't until '49 until I discovered the "coin" part.

I was 17 at the time. The first paycheck I earned from my mining gig in California was paid to me in coins. I thought to myself "coins are awesome!". That was a milestone. On that day I started collecting coins bit by bit until I got a sack full of copper. I started referring to them as "bit-by-bit coins". It was my own hard earned money. I was proud. I spent it women, booze, and chemical stimulants. It was money well spent. Since the name bit-by-bit coin was a bit awkward, I shortened it to "bitcoin". And that's the story of the original bitcoin folks.

Okay, so we don't have to start a new thread for our 'first post' to count? Hopefully, this will cover all I need right here. La di dah, uh, my mind has gone blank - I can't think of anything more to write - I've got writer's block and this won't count as long enough for my first post! Arrgghhh! Alternately, it just may not be significant enough to count as my first post. Darn. How can I master this beast? All is lost.... no substantial first post for me. I know, just copy the post above me:
