Bitcoin Forum

Post anything you want to here to bring up your post count and waste time. Nothing is off topic. If you need to be in prison may as well make it fun.

Keep refreshing the page and pay attention to the line up there  ::) that lists your "Total Time Logged In:

You need that to go over 4 hours and have posted enough to get into the other parts of the forum.

You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. This post must be substantial: at least several sentences. The other two restrictions are you need 1 post to be able to send a PM and 10 posts to put a link in your sig.  You can only post once every 360 seconds to start and there are a few other things that trigger this timer such as logging in and searching.

Whitelisting works too. If you have a good idea to present you can request to be whitelisted and gain immediate access to the forum.

Also, this is not an altcoin forum! Don't expect to be well received if you go into any part of the forum other than HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0) and start discussing altcoinz.

Please read this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0) this right away. When you get to the end there is a lot of wild XXX porn links!

Reserved for something truly disgusting at a later time.

Okay, here it goes...

Just killin' time here (or logging it  ???)

BTW, how's time tracked here, I've logged in more than 4 hours ago, and the total logged time shows 1 hour and 2 minutes. Am I missing something?

Thanks for this.

Being in jail is painful.  I appreciate your efforts to help other newbies.

Wow such a waste of your precious time, having to make 1 post and leave your pc on for 4 hours. Much waste, such tragedy, wow.

Being just logged in doesn't count. Read the OP. You need to keep refreshing the page for it to be counted. Sitting with a browser window open doesn't count.

+1

I know that's popular to do at other forums. But don't just +1 here because it pisses off the wet pants mods. Better to call somebody a fucker and stay on topic than to +1. Just a friendly word of advice.  ;D

+2

ROFL

Personaly i dont get this attitude, but ok, your forum , your rules.

Regards.

Good idea - but frustrating. :(

It cuts down on the need for housekeeping. Bots and fuckheads troll forums constantly. Mods have to work harder to delete those posts.

I lay face down in this pillow every night.

If you love crypto I find it easy to find shit to post about and then your activity also goes up.

I love reading and learning here

this is another trick that helps people read posts easier and cut down on the clutter when viewing a thread.

When you post an image link using "[img]http://image link[/img"] try adjusting the size by using "[img width=300]http://image link[/img"]. Images that are too large take up too much space and the conversation gets lost among the giant images.

Is it 4 hours logged in time, or 4 hours real life time from your first post? Cause if it's 4 hours from your first post, it's not working.

This thread had absolutely no topic at all. I hope to learn more about gaining Coins. And i need to regain access to my multibit wallet.

I've been waiting for you Holliday. lol  :-*

Everyone that comes here is so intent on joining the community that they forget this is a school. You are here to learn about Bitcoin or those other crypto things. If you spent at least part of your 4 hours reading the sticky threads at the top of each sub forum you would look better when you start threads of your own because you would be less likely to ask a question that's been answered a thousand times before.

It's 4 hours of active time. Refreshing pages, clicking between pages and searching for info make the clock tick forward. Go read a sticky and look at your time when you start and finish. You will see a difference.

I only registered to reply to some thread to encounter this "troll restriction" now.
Like a spammer couldn't just be nice one day and then spam the crap out of the board with a script or similar.. but whatever.
At least one could delete everything by that user I guess.

Therefore I've got one little problem: What am I supposed to talk about? I did mine before (actually I am doing so right now), I know quite more about cryptocurrencies than your average user at least, and I'm not a "forum kind of guy". Just frickin' wanted to reply to something serious.

Someone just always has to mess up highly obvious so everybody has to bear the consequences....

Edit: seems that sitting here and reloading the page also works. Just keep in mind that any script could do this as well, so a somewhat IT savvy troll could still spoil everything.

Here's another trick
if you want to complete a thought without having an ugly link in the middle of your sentence try replacing the link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0) and word (HERE) above and paste it into your sentence. It makes for an easier read.

I hate this requirement, but it's also necessary to keep the trolls at bay.

Say anything you want here and it counts. This gives you a place to post. Reloading works too and can be automated but that attack vector is less likely with a newbie area that can be monitored by mods.

Now for more buttcheeks:

Well then something totally unrelated:

I recently found this guy's music because of an absolutely awesome game: http://perturbator.bandcamp.com/
80's electronic music if anyone likes that stuff

Why do you have to wait 6 minutes to post? Does that lower?

Cool, me like.

Because Jesus wants it that way and yes, it does.

So how many people here have had sex with a farm animal. Dogs, cats and fat girls don't count because that's too common.

So all my browsing the forums without registering for past month or so is not counting.  :-\

Of course not. You need to be logged in for it to count.

Dude whaat

That gives "loving your pet" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?

so 4 hours logged in activity 6 and still jailed :(

Try posting some more. You should release soon. My Activity is 14 and I started this less than 4 hours ago.

The cow says mooooove over and let me in. lol

Since farm animals aren't my thing I really have nothing to contribute to this conversation.

Side note: My daughter is watching the Nightmare Before Christmas for probably the 20th time since Halloween. Shoot me.

That's the best thing about this thread. There is no conversation or topic. Kids do have a tendency to over watch things that they like.

Is newbie jail like being put into the "jail" at a concert if you've had a bit too much to drink? If so, I can totally recommend the amenities at the "Johnny Cougar Mellencamp Jail," as it's top notch and filled with interesting people.

On the other hand, "Cryptocoin Purgatory" doesn't sound like it would be nearly as much fun.

No, not really as much fun but at the end of it there's an un-block reward.  ba dum chhh

Well, okej then. Posting just just to be part of this jail! :P

well, yeah.. ok.

Go Hawks?

Go Rockets.

seriously this newbie restriction thing is super ridiculous.
found this forum a few months ago. never bothered to register because im not a big fan of forums, really. i figured hey, if i ever want to post something ill just register then, and post then. and then the time came, and i registered. and boom, cant reply. had to google and find out about the newbie thing. i was like, great. want to post something, cant do it. screw it. that was like a week ago. now i finally caved in and decided to get my post count up just so i can post my coin addresses in the giveaways. but seriously. whats an effing hassle.

Same thing here.. Wanted to post in the [Suspicious link removed] forum and now I have to wait four hours :/

great. was about to post a comment on an earlier post in this thread. write a couple of hundred words. click send. sorry, it hasnt been 360 seconds since the last time you posted. clicked back. everything i wrote gone. awesome. makes me so happy. lesson learned. copy everything you write before you reply, because eff you.

Who told you to create a new member when you already a full member.  :P

You don't need to be logged in for 4 hours anymore, just has to have been 4 hours since your first post. You guys should try reading the stickied readme instead of going by what another newbie told you. Reading a little upfront will save you a lot of time and hassle in the future in many ways.

I am glad I finally found this thread.  For the last week I have been trying to figure out how to post.  I sure have learned a lot while being frustrated at not being able to ask a question.

fascinating forum!

... and this is one of the true benefits of putting up with this restriction.

BTCBTCBTCBTC

It's ironic that a measure to avoid spam encourages spamming in order to get access.

I'd rather have a captcha. Or pass a test.

Anyways, here are my four lines of text.

I wish everyone a good life.

Might as well join along in this

Was confused for a while as to why I couldn't post, then found this forum :P.

yes, jeez this sucks!

Thanks for this thread.

I was at a loss as to what to post in the newbie subforum.  :-\

Can I please play with the adults now?  Being a tadpole is so strenuous...

When did that change BadBear? You mean to tell me I went through all the trouble of making this thread and posting multiple times for nothing! Bastards! Stop changing shit around and maybe we'll fucking know what the rules are.

I'm going to test it and make 50 accounts with one post and try them again tomorrow. You're making account sales so easy.

Cool forum, I'm looking forward to posting in the main section.

I was wondering why I couldn't reply to any posts. It took me 4 hours just to navigate to the rules. Now I need to find my way back to where I started. Something about alt coins. Oh, yea... Klondike goldrush. Seems to be a new coin.

I understand there may be value in bitcoin and litecoin but what's up with all these little alt coins coming online. They're just a novelty right? Not ever going to be worth anything?

Anyway, this is my first post, so another 4 hours before I can post elswheres.

Sees yall laters.

People used to say Bitcoin was just a novelty.

I just learned a trick to get around the 6 minute post limit for cell users. Use a home computer for one post and a cell for another. Also those with LTE and 4G on one phone, post with LTE then turn off LTE and make another post with 4G.

On the contrary, it's making account sales worthless, who's going to bother buying a newbie account when it's so easy?

Well I will try this. I think I sort of maybe understand how the Slush Pool works, maybe. So the numbers add up to a total per block that I generate I think they call them shares (should be points so won't confuse with a full share but anyway). Then your total for each block is somehow divided by the total shares found in the block and you get your total paid amount. Is this correct? I had an 18.4m and a 44.5m share found or whatever the number is on my screen, running a 50ghz system. But I don't see any big numbers like that shown as my contribution toward any block, only smaller numbers. Am I missing something, can't find any page to explain how system works keep getting error when go to Knowledge Base or site.Oh well have been awarded 3 .01 amounts so far in 48 hrs so maybe I just need to mine longer to fully understand system. :-*

so finally figured out the time bit.. still 3 hours short..

Just got a cube :)  The rate goes from a quick 30-something down a few gh/s every minute until it gets to 0.  Argh.  Already reseated boards, tightened heatsinks.  No difference.  Argh.  Now I am stuck in newbie-jail.  

Hmm.. It seems there is a bad board in the cube bringing everything down.  In fact when I pulled the board out it has an extra piece of metal (not wire, and it doesn't look like solder) attached from one of the surface mount capacitors to one of the asic chips - and bridging many of its pins.  None of the other boards have this.  I can't PM the reseller while in newbie jail ... Agrh again.

Anyone see this before?
https://i.imgur.com/ka8oJJx.jpg

Yeah, I know. I was just pissed at you so I said that. I've had a beer so I'm much better now.  ;D

So if I'm correct, I need to make one post here and than wait 4 hours before I can post somewhere else?  :-\

Who is the seller? I'll PM them for you and ask them to respond to you here.

Doesn't look right to me!

Glad I found this!

Thank for the info! I registered at the end of Dember 2013 and didn't realize the rules to be able to reply to posts. I was going nuts until I found out about the "Newbie Jail". I just want to be able to get in on the free AOC coins giveaway. Well, that and pick up some more tips here about the crypto market. Thanks!

My first post to this forum. A short one but hopefully it will do.

edit: Apparently this post has to be substantial (according to the sticky) so I'm editing it to add more. Been lurking here for a while, but never got around to creating an account.

vex

Hum, it does say substantial. I guess it needs to be a few sentences but posts can also be deleted by the mods if they are "off topic". I created his thread to allow any topic so just say more than hi and you should be good.

You all came here for a reason. You might try just saying a few sentences about what you want to do here.

Maybe something like this:

Evidently, I have something wrong with my brain function. Everyone I know tells me I'm crazy for supporting Bitcoin. I ignore them all and trade Bitcoins on an exchange, buy Christmas presents with Bitcoin, spend way too much time on this forum and buy Bitcoin merchandise to give out to total strangers. Maybe I am crazy?

You need that to go over 4 hours and have posted enough to get into the other parts of the forum.

Well I am here to find some fellow miners :). And yes people think I am crazy to even think about bitcoin.  ;D

PS: I hope this has SUBSTANCE .

PSS:: One more line for added SUBSTANCE .

PSSS:: Will one more get me in early ???

.........

Just killin' time here (or logging it  )

What do you mean we have to post a substantial reply with a sentence or two? Who gets to decide what a sentence is or what it should consist of, between depth, wordiness, length, and other factors. Would this count as a "substantial" reply? I sure hope so, because I have no idea where else in the newbie section I am going to be able to talk about nothing for an extended amount of time, do you know what I mean? 

Does quoting a post with substance count?  :P

whats the matter with all the subtance lately?

So is has to be substantial, substantial, substance. But what is a substance, lets quote one of the greatest minds alive, Wikipedia.


Substance may refer to:
Chemical substance, a material with a definite chemical composition
Drug substance
Substance abuse, drug-related healthcare and social policy diagnosis or label
Substance dependence, drug-related healthcare and social policy diagnosis or label
Matter, anything that has mass and takes up space
Substance theory, theory positing that a substance is distinct from its properties
Substance (Joy Division album), 1988
Substance (Blank & Jones album), 2002
Substance 1987, a New Order album
"Substance", a song by Haste the Day from That They May Know You
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, an update of the video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Homoousian, a Christian term meaning "same substance"

All of the above qualify as substance. Even quoting a post and adding substance to it. LOL

I think I understand the black eye but I don't understand taking the family picture.
