Bitcoin Forum

I've wanted to help a few people on this forum with my technical knowledge since I'm a web developer and have been studying bitcoin for some time now, but I dont know what I have to do to no longer be considered a 'newbie'... I've been registered for months.

For example I wanted to help this person since I have done this exact thing before and know the answer very well.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=100520

Can someone please tell me how I can gain normal privileges on this forum?

Thanks

you have to post in the newbie section for so many post and browse here for 4 hours before getting access to post

Technically, by asking in the whitelist request thread. Of course, we're also good at catching newbies "in the wild", so to speak, but you should post there if you want to be noticed for sure.

Whitelisted.

I feel for you. I'm an infrequent poster myself, but went through the whole deal of making an account here last year. Somehow I lost track of the account and now have to make a new one. It's a bit of work, but you can do it. Just find threads in the newbies forum you can contribute to, or at least make a comment that's not totally meaningless. The browsing bit might take some work, but I think you can just click on a different thread every 5 minutes or so and it will keep counting up.

yes, its pretty annoying. been trying to be able to post for awhile elsewhere as well. but restricted because of my post count in this forum. nothing interesting to post on here!  :(

hah, same here. good thing i got frustrated and checked out the newbie forum :)

Tried searching forum for the answer, then came google.
Was wondering too how can I post things... ::)

you can post images in the count to 21Mil images thread :)

You guys should try and read what you agree with when registering.

Post a bunch of stuff and leave the PC logged in to the forum.. Took me like 3 minutes to get enough posts to get out and 4 hours later I was free

Pfffh, that'll never happen. Speaking of which, this is an alt account for an old time poster. Is it possible to privately verify who I am to a mod and not have to play the waiting game?

PM me from your older account asking to whitelist this new account.

The irony here is killing me!   ;D

I'm also new poster, but it seems easy by reading the rules! Spend four hours in newbie forum and make five posts, ten before you're allowed link in signature. One post before PM enabled. Not complicated friends. Good rules I think to prevent spammers and make it harder for trolls to have lots of accounts.

Hopefully we will all shed newb status soon and get down to work on the real forum.

Just put in your time and posts and you'll be free in no time! :)

Seems like everyone around here has this problem for some reason.

Not reading rules?

Hands up all who think that we shouldn't have any restrictions!?...  ;D

hehe how many times/month do people make you say this?!

poor mods.

A vision came to my head when I read that. I can imagine being told that as we sit down in the cafeteria with our cafeteria plate of food, rolling up our stripped sleaves and begin eating, nervously looking up as we watch the gaurd slowly stroll by.

Now I feel like picking up a harmonica.

What a waiting game?

Been waiting for decades until I stumble on this post.

But one quick question?
IS IT WORTH WAITING????????????

Fake reply 1. These forum rules are silly. I have to make 5 posts and browse these forums for 4+ hours before I can actually post what I came here for. I certainly hope you don't punish people for making fake posts, I mean, that would be ironic, considering you're punishing people just because they want to use your forums.

hee is this not a post?

 ;D

Thanks have a good day

Same problem, google fixed it :P

hmm works to post here though :P

Is this my fifth?

this sucks

No it doesn't suck.

In all seriousness, I have 6 posts and 4 hours.  Why can't I post in the Ripple Giveaway thread?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145506

  It's a good system, imo.

When you register and does not listen what the site said, then later need to google what to do, where you can post. You have to find again the thread, where the info hidden.

ok thx

Any real man never reads the manual first.. ;)

Yea it took me a while to figure out why I couldnt post or PM

Some people never figure it out...

lol

wait 4 hours.....and you can find something

4th post upgrade         ;D ;D ;D ;D
now the waiting game  >:( >:( >:( >:(

op it's just an anti-troll thing, it was in that agreement you clicked on the way in.

I was quite suprised that I can't post as well. I had 1 post somewhere else before this restriction was enforced and now I can't post anymore. It's quite annoying...

Good to know :) Here's hoping I get whitelisted soon, I was gonna throw some money at the DIY ASIC rig project! :D

Id agree, just because we are new to the forum doesnt mean we dont know anything.
it is a goodway to stop people spamming topics joining and leaving tho!

Trying to get my post count up to 5 as well.

I had the same problem. Thanks for the tip!  :)

thanks

Hi guys im glad i found this thread, maybe a sticky "newbie" or "welcome" thread?  ;D

<3 this forum.. only place to learn.. whitelist me pls.. hehehe

peace Miners/Coiners

Thanks for helping me get my post count up :)

Oh, just one more...

post

how many posts do you need  ???

Is it a total of 5 posts that you need to be able to post in the main forum?  I have 6, but it still won't let me post.  Did they increase the number of posts needed?

*edit*  I do have the 4 hours of logged/view time.

*edit edit* It might have just taken a few minutes after my last post.  I can now post on the main forum.  :)

Technically, by asking in the whitelist request thread. Of course, we're also good at catching newbies

That's very kind of you. So it is not always necessary to have 10 posts, uh?
Going there, I'll find  out ;D

It's a good system, imo.

I dont think it's a good system. It only fills database with lots of junk posts written to increment the post count.

But at least you don't find spams all over the forum...

Seems like a good system to me, bit annoying I didn't know this before as I've been a long term lurker. When it came to registering to contribute to something worthwhile - I found I couldn't reply :| oh we'll, lesson learnt.

Hoping to get upto 5 myself.

I must be pretty close to 5 now.

The restrictions probably keep some idiots from clogging the forums. 

yes idiots who cant read the stickys lol

Yes, but then these forums just people chiming in with senselessly short posts, just so they can reach their posting limit to get access to the other forums.  I am not sure there is much value in that either other than keeping the SPAM bots out.

i am trying to post, outside here. i know i may wait 4 hours but how many posts?

post #3

Posts dont matter, you need 4 hours of activity! The sticky is on the top of this subforum page! 4 hours is nothing with all the useful info on this board. Take me days to get through everything!

5 posts & >4h total time logged in
Or check it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0)

I would love to post in todays auction. How can I?

4 hours and 5 posts... reasonable I guess...

its kind of annoying tho, i want to pm someone and cant do it.. - im buying some stuff

No it doesn't suck.

Thats strange you should be able to.

PM admin and inform him.

Another useless post to get my count up - sorry.

that explains why i cant post lol

heloooooo

You are not the only one!

the same situation found here. Please help!

I think the system works. As a newbie, I post in the newbie section but read a _lot_ in the other forums, so as soon as I am able to post, I won't ask stupid things.

Ok i found why i couln't post  ;D

+1 and it works really well  :D

I post to post it somewhere out of her thank need 6

you have to post in the newbie section for so many post and browse here for 4 hours before getting access to post

hi guys, just a "meaningless" post..  ;)

You too?? :)

Yup. It's strange, because I'm reading the forum for months, but I didn't bother creating an account before.

You too??

I been lurking the Custom Hardware section (specifically the ASIC stuff) for a while and wanted to provide some input in to the TerraHash thread. I decided to register to comment, but then found out my account is read only. Good think I decided to Google why and found this thread.

White list me please and thanks :)

I did the same thing.

I am a newbie :)

The same for me, I want to send a PM. So a post...

what's 4 hours of my life?

4 hours is not much

4 hours  ???

If only I'd signed in all this time lurking...

newbeee. I thought these forums dont work on IPAD as I couldn't see the reply button. Its just my NEW status.

4 hrs is too long, I only got 48 minutes so far.

My exact though lmao, oh well, never realize until you want to do something.

3.35 hours 

i can see the Finish Line

Yep I have had the same problem, but havent really needed to post until now. Just trying to post my invoice# and chips ordered yesterday with Terrahash. Guess Ill keep posting in here for a bit! lol  :o

GO Run faster! lol.... just trying this feature to your post,,,see what happens. Guess Im just tsarting the 4 hours required eh"

Wow cool, I finally noticed this area.  Not sure why it took me so long.   Doooh.  I think I need a big red flashing arrow saying Noobs post here!!!

Well posting in the newbie section I guess.

ok, still here and i swithed all my miners over to btc guild,,,,try it for a while,,,plus namecoin! so far so good

ya same here...nice to be a newbie again :)

It had confused me at first, but it makes sense. Gotta gain trust

I had the same problem. Thanks for the tip!

This is quite annoying if you ask me. I want to be able to post in other places instead of having to theoretically spam my posts so I can post elsewhere...

Oh man, I have so many unlogged hours of browsing this forum...  what a waste :)   Oh well, I'm 1.5 logged hours in and I promise to delight all of you with meaningful posts.  The first of which is this: Bitcoins are potentially the most disruptive technology..... ever...  ooooooohh, now there's something we can all 6-post ourselves into higher status with, right?

This was confusing at first... almost had a mini-freakout.

Meaningful post #2.  Would you believe I actually impressed an attractive female with my Bitcoin knowledge?  I wouldn't have thought that women would find money that interesting.

Meaningful post #3:  Seriously, there is no freakin' way that the company (not named) can produce a magic box that produce 6GH/s for $250.  It defies Moore's law, it defies physics, it defies common sense!  It's easy to prove too, just turn the situation around:  Imagine if you owned a company that can make machines that prints legitimate cash.  How much would you sell it for?  You could mine about $250 of bitcoins in about a week with a 6 GH/s box!  Why would you sell it??  Why people??  Cmon, snake oil, and that's all there is to it.  I feel sorry for all those people that put money down.  Yes they say they're shipping, but I guarantee it's not 6GH/s!  Real ASICS are currently at best about 3 times faster than modern FPGA boards, not 30.

1 hour 40 minutes, and 1 more meaningful post to go :)

Probably not meaningful post #4:  One thing I realized the other day is that the value of bitcoin mining is not tightly coupled to the USD exchange rate.  What I mean by this is that the mining 'competition', increases or decreases relative to the reward, but as that reward diminishes, those with the weakest hashing rates are the first to stop mining, leaving more of the pot for the rest of us, thereby keeping the profit stable.  Likewise, as the exchange rate of Bitcoins increases, more miners come online, diluting the value of our mining rewards, and thus again keeping the profit stable.  A real-world example.  If the exchange rate is $100 USD/bitcoin and you are making $4/day with your mining rig, then if it drops to $80 USD, lots of people will stop mining, and your reward will still be $4/day.  If the price goes up to $120, more people will mine, diluting your reward, and you'll still make $4/day.  I've noticed this trend when I mine on P2Pool.  It was 1TH a few weeks ago and I was pulling $4/day.  Now it's barely over 500 GH (half!), and I'm still making $4/day (with huge variability I might add, but it all works out in the end). 

45 mins to go

Ditto

Oh well im at 2hrs 45 mins, home stretch soon!  ;D

you guys waiting for the 4 hour timer should check out some free raffles and other good deals in the newbie section:)

Hi@all.

I am browsing this forum since two months ago. I have decided to join this great community.
Great place for all the miners. ;)

Since this is only place i can post i will drop it here.
I have around 7500 khash of mining power and i am mining DGC for almost 2 weeks. It looks to me that this ALT coin have a good potential.
What are your opinions about DGC?

Yeah have to say I was a bit confused. Been reading for a long time, registered for a fair while, but never felt the need (or expertise) to post. Now want to jump on a group buy so I need to have a post in here. Well here it is I suppose ;)

Indeed I had the same issue, but I guess at least I managed to get it worked out in a day.  Purely by chance though so no flaming please!  I saw the newbie listing and then by chance happened to see the heading "why can't I post".  This was after spending hours yesterday wondering why I couldn't put in a reply to another post.  Argh.  I obviously need to drink more vodka to improve my brain function.

And Killdemon - it is the first time I have heard of DGC.  I'll have to check it out.

I am amazed also with concept of free bank of DGC.
More than great idea from DGC developers.
For all the newbies, like me, check on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238882.msg2529906#msg2529906
This is very unique way to protect your investment in DGC.
Another reason to start mine DGC.

Also profitability index of BTC for DigitalCoin is good since first day. You should check out  ;)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

One post here and 4 hours of activity on forum is what you need before you are able to post messages in the forum. I hope my laptop battery will not drain before that ;D

wait and post mate ...

Submit 5 Post here and spend 4 hours on this forum. 

its a good idea

im newbe to and i need to post and w8...

I think it's only 1 quality post and 4 hours now.

You have to browse the forum for 4 hours I guess

me too lol.. :D :D :D

I am so glad I found this post. I am a newb but I want to get into a groupbuy on a knc  miner so I need to be able to post my transaction confirmation to that thread and could not understand why I could not. Now I know!

huhu! I'm new too and looking for some good bitcoin investments.

What is the rule on sending pms?

prolly a good system to weed out spammer bots. but still kinda annoying. grrrr

I think it's the same as with posting

This rule is kinda both bad and good.. The good part is that it will for sure slow down the spammers/trollers. But I'm unsure if it's worth losing real users that only come here to make one fast simple post.

I agree about the spammers too. But I'm really stucked here needing to write anything but not constructive posts to achieve this rule and start what I really came here to do that is participate and create connections with people.

So you were happy on your post.

The other newbie chat thread is slower than I wish. Gotta respect the anti spam policies.

More forums should implement the newbie rule! This is kind of interesting...

It puts the trainin' wheels on the skin!

:D
And the light is seen and his joy to be textually apart of a phenomenon that exxxcites every philosophical bone in his body - so much so that it borderlines on absolute Cheeze  ::)

First time poster, long time reader.

Yes, I am slow and didn't get how this worked at first.
Yes, this will impact my future endeavors and the technical trust it will engender (ha!)
BUT, at least you know I am honest, and I won't give up.

Peace and Love.
The AtomSea

4 hours and 5 posts..

hello)

Thats retarded.  Just ban dipshits and you wont need to make people with legitimate concerns that want to post jump through hoops.

How many insightful thoughts are not heard due to these restrictions...

Is that 4 hours in one sitting or 4 hours over a period of time whenever I'm browsing here? Is there a way to see how much time I've spent in this newbie section? I've spent a lot of time reading other threads but I guess it wouldn't count towards my freedom...

Well, Hi everyone. I'm a newbie and have a tons of questions that can't wait. Yes, I will search before asking.

And how many cool insightful newbie thoughts are heard though through these restrictions :D!

i just joined because I need to contact member lajz99   if anyone here =can help me i'd appreciate it.

4 hours time spent to post in normal forums?

that's the strangest hoop i've seen someone make users jump through on forums.
i guess if it works cool. but honestly it feels like a somewhat large inconvenience.
got to be a better way to stop bots.

i needed help from a vendor, and waiting 4 hours would defeat the purpose.
just sharing my thoughts as a first time user here.

Look at the bright side -- you've posted once and now, you're done. (if it ever comes up again....)

I just wish i could post in the Bit365 thread, that would be incredibly helpful.

Agreed. I don't understand why we can't post in the bitcoinsports forum. There are tons of people including myself looking to contact someone about their bets but are unable to do so. I've tried to contact the bitcoinsports.eu@gmail.com but have not had success in getting a response.

I was also wondering why the posting was disabled, But luckily Google has an answer to any question ;D

Why this beating around the bush? ??? I would like to get some feather coins. :D

I really think these crypto currencies are the future! I collect BTC and LTC and also want to collect FTC.

Hi All,

I also wanted to introduce myself.  I also think the rules of waiting are a bit silly but having been a moderator on the 2+2 Poker forums, I recognize that it can be necessary to keep the forums/trolling in order.

I look forward to being more involved in all discussions here and to being able to post more.

E

Hi Everyone,

    I'm here to get help with my new Blue Fury chips. I wanted to register because I see myself mining either bitcoins or other coins for the forseeable future. I figured I'd get going on my status here. I've been mining for almost a year and have learned a lot from these forums. I hope I can make my share of contributions as time goes on.

How do you connect to Coinotron in Guiminer for Mac?

An exercise of patience, but we'll get there in the end 8)

there must be a better solution than generating all this spam and waiting. i had my account before these rulings were put in and now i have to play the same game... ouch

Ok, thanks for making this thread. I thought it was just me being retarded and couldn't post anything. I'm just starting up with peercoin. Wanna invest a little while it's still cheap, litecoin seems to be taking off, which is awesome.

I just want to get access to this section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325086.100

" You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. " - (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0)

Simply make a post and wait 4 hours, the first thing I did on this forum was donate all my BTC ($3.80 :) yes, I know I spent all mine when they were worth $100 each) to the OP here;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300631.0
^^ This is for feeding children in poor countries, and my .003 BTC will do more good there
I hope you'll do the same, as every little bit counts  ;)

Hope I learn a lot from this forum, have a nice day!

I was trying to post in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=324009.0 this thread because I am new to peercoins. The messenger isn't working either, it claims I've posted something in the past 360 seconds from this IP...no I haven't. I dont get it. I just wanted to post my peercoin address. :(
Could someone just post it for me or?

PQ4aZmmykai1bx7W1zU2fcaE9WLEFRuhPv

This is annoying, but effective system. Spammers and others bad do not pass to main forum.

I am also trying to get a few posts in so that I can post a thread in Service Discussion. My BTC-e account was hacked. Common story I know. It's my fault I know. But my story has a twist. I have been working closely with BTC-e administration, but now the conversation has taken a very strange twist. I want to describe it in detail. But I need a few post, and I need to wait 4 hours or whatever.

Testing, testing..lurker de-cloaking  ;D

Hey guys, after how many posts and how many time can you post everywhere in this forum? thanks!

Ye, I couldn't post either  ::)

so does somebody now when its possible to post?

Just post some more bs here you'll nbe goodnto go

ok so is somebody already investing or mining in any coin??

test

Wait 360 seconds?

I keep getting "you already posted this" or "need to wait 360 seconds" errors, despite my posts never showing up anywhere. System seems a bit glitchy...

I'm mining YACoins

I think you need to wait 360 seconds from when you registered...

I don't think the system is glitchy.  You need to wait 6 minutes between posting messages or replies.

Are you making profit, and can I mine with my macbook? ;p

That much I understand. However, I made 5 post attempts in different threads on this newbie forum over a period of 4-5 days. Every time, it came up with "you must wait 360 seconds" or "you've already posted here". The post you replied to, was my first actual post that got through.

It is necessary to write 4 posts and to wait 4 hours, why it is made not clearly.

so who is investing in what?

ahhh finally a reply button...any topic?

There is a sticky post "NEWBIE README", which should answer most of the newbie questions.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

I am a new user to bitcointalk, but i am not new to bitcoin..

We have all read about the alleged bitcoin heist of $100M US.   The thief is having a hard time getting the money out of the system.   Effectively his bitcoins are worth a lot less than the market rate (potentially zero) because he can not get the coins into fiat, products, or services.   

This poses a very interesting dilemma.  If stolen coins can not be converted to fiat than merchants will become fearful to accept bitcoins that are stolen.  To ensure that the merchant does not accepti bitcoins that are stolen, merchants will ask for a database of stolen bitcoins.  If there is a database for stolen bitcoins then effectively there ARE chargebacks!  i.e. One could use a bitcoin and then add it to the database.

I am big bitcoin enthusiast and investor.  Can someone please alert me to where my logic is misguided?  I hope it is!

If my logic is not flawed.  I assume there are solutions?

Thanks,
Steve

There is a sticky post "NEWBIE README", which should answer most of the newbie questions.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

Thanks for this, I've been looking for something exactly like that.

Does anyone know how it calculates how long I've been online. I looked at the statistics in my profile and says I've only been on for under two hours.  Could have sworn it's longer that that.  Oh well, I'll keep researching and poking around till it gets there.  Looking to post in Marketplace eventually.  Seems pretty effective and keeping out spammers though.  Grrr.... said I already posted this.  Hmm....

Thanks for the link. I missed it though it is already sticky. :P

Hello, new guy here waiting for the 4 hours to go, i want to post on alternatives currencies !!  ;D Thx

if you are doing some activity then time counts and if you stop then its also stop its simple rule for working of this forum

You have to be active on this site, so you can't open this website and then watch youtube videos for instance.
Scroll, read, comment and wait ;)

Hello. I am quiet new user in cryptocurrencies. I like NXT so I made my really first cryptocurrency account :).
I will be really happy if somebody can send me NXTs to start. Thank you very much.

How to post

Here i have reply button why not on THE otherpost

Very Newbie   Make Dogecoin   Newbie wow   many millionaire :o

 :)
Im waiting for THE reply button

OK 4the post

This is a very old post. I reccomend starting a new thread.

omg i can post here? :D

Figured this would be as good a place as any for my first post. I mostly joined this forum to post in the Alternate Crytos sub-forum. I am a big supporter of Quarkcoin [QRK]. If any of you have questions about Quark, please don't hesitate to ask. More than happy to help! :)

Whats so special about quark?

Nothing, it's a pump and dump scheme, don't buy into it. Worthless, pre-mined crap.

IFC heading up right now, also, mine DOGE :~I

thanks for asking this - same question I had.  how do I post?

Please allow to me to post, would like to submit some pool info to the alt forum. 

Thanks,

But its becoming more and more popular (value is going up as well)! But ya, a few mill have been premined :(

I've tried mining some Quark and got about 15QRK in one day.

Nice! On what OS?

Hi all,  Just an obligatory greeting post!

How much btc is 15QRK?

testing the waters. contributing with forum filler.

thank you for your time. (fingers crossed for junior member status granting!)

I have to browse anywhere, and finally I find the newbie readme in here, and finally find out why I can't post.

me too, now let's wait ...

4 hours countdown...

Joining the team of waiters :)

its very good stuff you done I also want to do this as 1 QRK is equal to 0.00027900 BTC its not bad idea

How do I remove the 360second waiting time between posting?

Get 15 activity, and it will be gone.

Thanks :) Should be pretty close now.

Reply to this post. (helping myself out here too)  ;)

Actually no. The activity updates every two weeks! :(

this first post

much thanks

How is the activity calculated?

time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

The admin says activity updates every 30 minutes, but I only see it update every two weeks.

You can find it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.

Hi everybody!

Here is my first post.

 ;D

Does this useless addition to this thread help in gaining privileges?

I certainly hope so!

Um not so sure about gaining a substantial privilege but I think that can offer us a few in gaining the opportunity to get out of this "newbie" board.

ah yeah, so when you start posting you can get max 14 activity until 2 weeks after your first posts.
Well I guess I'll just have to have patience then.

Windows Server 2012. I signed up for the Windows Azure 200$ credit 30-day trial and am running about 10 virtual machines.

All newbies should read this post first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0)  ;)

Alright, so I'm also an idiot who had to search around to figure out that I can't post in a forum that I'm interested in until I've gotten through some kind of proving ground....  It would be nice if instead of just a lack of Reply button on all threads, there was also a message that alerted me to my unworthiness.  
  
May I ask what the purpose of this quarantine is?  Being that the whole bitcoin/altcoin community is about decentralized authority and freedom, I'm curious who the arbiters of speech are here and how one may properly present oneself to curry favor with them?  
  
I wish to speak with the members of this thread and offer my skills in development to the possible furthering of their goals:  
 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=369645.0  
  
If you could please inform them that I await without, I shall endeavor in patience.

Because you're a newbie! What is it like 5 posts and 4 hours? Damn.

it's 1 post and 4 hours as i recall...  or 5 but i am sure that's it's 1 post

What is this college?  Do I have to chug a beer and run through the quad naked too?  Had I better watch what I say here or else I might have to wait 8 -12 hours before being able to contribute something useful?
 
That's the sort of impression I get when I see any group that doesn't listen to new people without making them jump through (seemingly) arbitrary hoops... my real question is, who is being excluded and to what end?  Are you trying to stop trolls, bots, scammers?  Or is someone else undesirable?  People who talk bad about bitcoin, are they excluded? 
 
Right now it sounds like the attitude is "we were here first, you guys need to prove your worth before we'll let you in our club"... right it's only 4 hours, but it's also a slippery slope. 
 
"I have to wear a star on my arm?  What for?" 
"Because you're a Jew!  What is it, a patch on your jacket? Damn." 
 
PS - Totally aware that I have broken Godwin's Law in my second post here... but if I have to make posts and waste 4 hours here I might as well have fun.

Yes, it is 1 post and 4 hours, according to the sticky newbie readme.

Need to be verified to post new thread.

What are you talking about?

like I have the time to browse for 4 hours.! I need answers to questions which I can't get from forum members because I can't post anything in the relevant threads. this ludicrous. what dummy came up with this system? someone probably still sucking on his thumb and sucking on him mommy's titty. dumb ass

ok so I have to write a post and then wait 4 hours to be able to write posts in other topics ... so I'll wait ;)

I am also trying to get a few posts in so that I can post a thread in Service Discussion. My BTC-e account was hacked. Common story I know. It's my fault I know. But my story has a twist. I have been working closely with BTC-e administration, but now the conversation has taken a very strange twist. I want to describe it in detail. But I need a few post, and I need to wait 4 hours or whatever.

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.

Yup we're going all out native Indian(american) traditional on this one.

next thing you see will be us developing our own secret BIRD language so that the noobs cant read ANYTHING lol.

Need to read 13 pages for this ;D

but how can i get the 1 post with 4 hours without actually being able to post? the only place i have the post links is under the Patrol link in the header

hello, joined up to look at the new dogecoin.... waiting for my 4hr timeout to be let out of the doghouse to go post on the other topics =)

This does kind of suck. We all want to get into the fray as soon as possible. But we can't! BooHoo!  :-\

I guess topics like "500 free dogecoin" will create a lot of new users on the forums. It's probably because of this that the restrictions are the way they are. Prevent people making a gazillion accounts just to post their address in those topics.

That has to be it! Much wait.

Nah been reading for a few days, have few doge already ( put it on all Red, much spinny )
so good i couldnt post a reply and had to wait an hour, by then it ate my reply and sent a blank one... so wow

I wonder if requiring newbies to post in the newbie forum actually dilutes its value. 

"Yea, you can join our chess philosophy engineering club, but first you have to go scream loudly while waving your hands in the air like an idiot over in that corner."

I keep getting "you already posted this" or "need to wait 360 seconds" errors, despite my posts never showing up anywhere. System seems a bit glitchy...

Now I know why I couldn't post in any of the free coin giveaway threads.  Live and learn... and wait for newbie timer to expire.

Thanks.

To fix this, just copy your text and refresh the page. Then paste your text and wait 360 sec. Then just post. It is a little bit glitchy but it helps remove spam.

Ah cool I didnt know about the 4 hour thing. Been browsing for days but only recently registered

Or read the sticky post ;)

OMG I need to wait for 4hrs
thats very long :(

I just came here because my account at fast-pool.com is locked, and they have no way of contact to be able to unlock it from their website.  *such fail - such sad*

sigh...this is quite annoying...

Yes it is! :-[

So thats why!  ;D

Just trying to post elsewhere.  Newby excited to get involved in the forum.  Contact me/us at info@akimbocard.com

Greetings,
This is a newbie, 'hello everyone' post; an attempt to write something substantial so that I'll be able to ask questions or reply on this forum in the future. 

I'm a new miner, learning things I wish I had known before I started.  I began about a week ago mining litecoins and now I'm working on dogecoins.  I have 2 powercolor HD7870's with that run around 750khz combined.  I got'm up to over 800 last night then every crashed hard - I worried I'd trashed one of the cards. 

I'm using cgminer 3.72 with win7.  My current batch file settings are:

I 19 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 15360

I've installed the latest AMD dirvers and using Afterburner I've adjusted the cards' settings to:
Core Voltage: 1083
Core Clock: 882
Mem Clock: 1249

If I clock the memory any higher the system hangs.  The temps run just below 60C at these settings and get to closer to 65C when I start bumping things up.  I can increase the mem clock close to 1300ish but my hash rates go down.  I played around a with the shader settings, intensity and whatnot and thid appears to be my best bet hashing-wise without hardware errors appearing in cgminer.

I hope this suffices for a first post.  :-)

One thing that's not clear to me is whether or not I'm posting this in the correct forum.  Gulp, I hope so. 

Any comments/suggestions are more than welcome. 

Cheers!

you have to post in the newbie section, like i'm doing right now in hopes that one day i will be like the almighty OG's in the main forum! wooop whoooop! :P

i want to pose too D:

Indeed I've been lurking quite a bit on bitcointalk only to find out I couldn't post without confirming that indeed I'm not some ludicrous spambot that is attempting to ruin the internet by increasing the already low signal to noise ratio of most forums. I even created a login only to find out that I must post a little bit on this newbie forum first. Eventually I hope to be recognized as a legitimate human or cat capable of contributing to the lulz and memes of bitcoin history and perhaps maybe actually sharing thoughts that provoke intelligent debate and discussion. We will have to see.

could I get whitelisted please?  Thank you.

post 1

I'd really like to get access to the forum, but this system has it restricted.  This is mildly annoying.  I understand a need to block out spambots, but it seems like there have to be better ways, especially considering that people don't seem to really put into practice anything to distinguish them from spambots.  Most people have an initial post consisting of a variant of one of three or so messages.  This means that a spambot can easily emulate it.  Likewise, there is no reason to believe that a four-hour wait time would bother a spambot.  To a spambot time does not matter, there is no particular distinction between waiting four days and waiting 3 seconds to a spambot.  But to a person who wishes to fulfill a bounty or something this is a rather significant disadvantage.

Decent captchas work fairly well for a lot of things.  The type of message would be a much better filter than simply its presence.

But, the overall point is that there has to be a better way.

i have been having issues posting as well

thanks for this thread. really helpful.  ;D

It's not unusual for a forum to have these kind of rules for newbies. It can be frustrating but I don't think this one is extreme. Just look around and find posts in the correct section that you want to respond to. There's interesting stuff in the newb section too.

Welcome everyone! :) This thread may solve some doubts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0)

I'm totally cool with not posting immediately - I guess because I realise I have a lot to learn before anything I say is likely to be new or interesting to those who have been around here for long

So far I've setup cgminer but moved rapidly from that to cudaminer as I have a Nvidia graphics card. Pooling at ozcoin. (I think that's the lingo lol)   
Only the one workstation, but it runs 24/7 so can just as well be doing something.

I trade foreign exchange so am up all crazy hours for a NZer.

Whats amazing is how diverse the strutures are, not only have you got lots of mining programmes there are also multiple pools, and now there is multiple coins. I;m coming at these currencies more from a financial perspective than a technical one. But within finance I prefer technical (cf fundamental) analysis.


 

Good Mining May your hashrates be high.

I want to comment in some topics but it seems I have to jump through hoops of fire before I can comments in big boy topics. Lol I guess its all worth it.  8)

OK, so here am I, making a dummy post, so that I am allowed to post in the real topics.

I have been reading these threads for weeks, but read-only mode
was perfect for me, until right now.

Now that I have something important to say, suddently I look up my account (do a pw reset), log in, ... and realize that I can't post!

That's annoying. So, white-listing, pretty please?

Yeap, that was a discovery for me too... I thought it would be OK to reply to some threads but it wasn't.

I am particularly interested in the threads about new crypto-currencies and development programs.

With almost all the cryptos being open-source and most exchanges having an API it is a truly great time to code a bit.

I recommend you all to browse around and go beyond BitCoin and LiteCoin. There is a world to discover!

All the best,
Juan.

@Juanauj69 Effectively a great discovery because it's really amazing to contribute to BTC development.

Yup me too..

So how many posts do i have to write before i get allowed to post in the main section?

I feel like the new boy at school *cries*

Anyways since i am restricted, anyone giving altcoins away? there was a huge dogecoins giveaway but i couldn't post my address (How unfortunate) and i missed it.. 

Anyways if you're giving away any sort of coins let me know and ill download the wallet and recieve some.

If not, i'll just keep posting here till am allowed to post in the big sections..

Oh yeah just asking - which coins do you think will take off really well in the future?

Im talking coins under 1 dollar.

And by the way where did Mastercoin come from?? It wasn't even on crypto last month-- now its worth $150???

I'm not sure why are all of you frustrated about that. It's all written and explained.

It's totally understandable. I've been a lurker for some time now, and definitely decided to register because I can contribute to whole community with my skills and will to spread the good word about crypto currencies.

DogeCoin, NextCoin and eMunie are the main reasons that i got interested in altcurrencies.

Keep up the good work!

@Secretja It's normal to frustrated because people need to express themselves in whatsoever way possible ;D

so,i am new, and i can post here.

Post here, log in every time you browse to log time, and eventually you will be promoted :-)

Welcome everyone!  :)

okay, glad i found the newbies... thanx

Hi, i need a higher postcount for some reason. Hope this helps.. ;)

Posting in newbies to be able to publish in other forums!

Glad I found this forum :)

Well, look what this post is for!  ::)

if only i'd read up when i registered... could be pm'ing and posting by now!

Quite some hassle only to contribute to some users on the forums. Hopefully ill get promoted soon too :(

I also have quite some problems posting on the forum. I can't even start a new thread in the newbe's forum. Hopefully this will change in a bit.

New here too -- look forward to getting 'punched' in.

Argh lol  ;D I looked through the ENTIRE Help section before finding this thread.

Let's hope this helps with my post count then :)

Do rare coins like frozen coin which have max coin of about 7mill tend to have high values or is it just random?  ???

I guess if you post in noobie-jail it wount display until the 4h are up?

Im a noob..

Am I doing this right?

mainly 
but patience will be required ,+)

Well, because of this 20 post limit, a lot of useless posts are generated...

Rather here then on the rest of the site. A lot of spam fagz will give up due to the effort. Can you imagine what it would be like if it was open season like on youtube comments or tpb?

There's not a 20 post limit. You need one post and 4 hours wait.

I've read that you need 5 posts earlier, now I see you are saying it is only one post?

-F-

A quick read of the rules sorted me out. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

Newbie Restrictions
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.

Seems pretty straightforward and I agree with the reasoning.

-F-

So the wait begin  ;D

Oh I didn't see that the post need to be several sentences. So let's make a really nice post, with a lot of sentences. No I'm not a future troll. To prove it, I make a really useless post with nice sentences. Hop again a sentence

Hop again a nice sentence !

Wow what a cool post !

Oh and the 6 minute wait between 2 messages : great idea   :D

The best thing to do is start your own topic. Its the fastest way to get out.

Personally I would much prefer the restrictions currently in place on new posts.
Otherwise the forums here would turn into a mass of spam from advertisers trying to sell everything from shaving cram to viagra.
A quick look at other less well policed forums makes the minor restrictions here well worth the short wait.

just do noob thing and never try to go pro without gaining strength

It comes in a way you cant imagine

I too would like to respond to a thread outside the Forum. I'm not a newbie! You guys should just let people buy themselves a quick pass out of here by sending you BTC.

Add to the communcity, more posts inside the newbie sub-forum and you must be online for 4 hours. Than you will ber able to send pms and reply in topics outside the newbie forum.

Is it? I think there's too many pointless newbie threads here already. It's better to post in a thread like this if you haven't got anything to say.

I found that if you create your own thread and get a ton of replies, then you rank up faster.

Is there no other way to "prove" you are not going to troll? It's just making people dumbpost stuff in newbie section, isn't it?

It's quite effective to block both sockpuppet accounts as well as spam bots. The 20 hour delay also makes people rethink why they need to post and go google their issue instead. I've seen a lot of anti spam/troll/newbie systems and this seems like a good compromise.

This is like hardcore zen... One day I shall be able to post.

one day i too will be a master  :D

too long  to wait :-[

Let the 4 hours begin...now

Post number one, down. I was so confused at first why I couldn't post....

i'm wondering if non newbs ever come back here to post LOL

bitcoin should look into getting Authly or Google Authenticator! (this is what most exchanges use)


add a QR code, use your smartphone to scan, punch in 6 digit number and BAM!

lol

what does it take to be able to send a pm?

One post.

Welcome everyone!  :)

Thought it was ten to send a message?

Hang on a number was blocked for four hours

Last time I checked, you only needed one post to send a pm.

I guess that is a good way to keep the robots from spamming the forum.

I have to admit it's hard not to want to post in some other topics but I get it. No problem.

Looking forward to contribute to the forum soon I'm still a newb right now but not for long :)

It looks like this is the only place where i can post something :) i hope that i will be able to post something later today :)

After 4 hours of you being active you will be don't worry.

I've been wondering where the reply button was for days derp

I have a question but can't post in Discussion

haha you and me both originally

it is a good process, if it were allowed that new members could post immediately on everything there would be an influx of alt accounts and spamming
none of us here want a community where information and posts can be manipulated as such, keep up the good work Bitcoin Forum Moderators :)

Yaa - honestly, I think this information could definitely be presented an a more accessible way.
I'm a bit miffed for not only being sent to please go get a shrubbery, but also for having to comb half Nottingham forest to even obtain that preliminary bit of information.

There's limits as to where I'll sink though - actually felling a tree with a HERRING won't happen!  >:(

yay finally i can post somewhere.  8)

yes, this is the right place

what - is one supposed to talk about the weather or potato prices here?!?!

surely, the authorizatin issue has been dicussed ad nauseam here in the forum -

so far has noone come up with anything better?

humbug - as Scrooge would say..

talking about it - what are the prices for 1kg of potatoes in ur part of the world ?

depends on which city even - Berlin starts at 60 eurocents per kg, goes to 2euro per kg for vegan potatoes, peed upon at fullmoon by pink fluffy nightowls.

other cities more expensive - richer and stupider clientele

what about where you live?

acutaly when emigrating, growing patas on Tenerife could be the thing for me!

ever been there?  ;D

Wow, this isn't user friendly, but i'm getting the point.

However.. potatoes over here go between 30 cents a kilo (if you buy them directly from the farmer) up to 2,50 at the supermarkets.

Hope this one post will be enough (according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15958.msg209292#msg209292) to come back in four hours and be able to post in the forum i wanted to.

actually, only reason for signing up here is because of NXT

- they don't have any jumping through hoops over there (yet)

This is totally absolutely high drama:

 :D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=345619.msg4343391#msg4343391

ok, 4 hrs 2 mins - can I go to the gym now?

here in Hamburg we have these lovely fullmoon-nightowl- peed upon potatoes as well - never gopt to try them tho. prices for the lower potatoe tier seem to be similar here so i can rest in peace knowing i didnt get ripped off at my last potatoe buy.

I love how you guys are discussing potatoes haha.

Hey WOW, seems I am allowed to go onto the big people forum now!

Hope I don't poke my eyes out peeling potatoes there  :D

cheerio!

Same stuff altough i made my post to this forums few days ago. I wonder if it was not long enough since i still cant post other parts of the forums. Trying now to type here few sentences maybe it help.

Hello all, i hope to become member.

me 2 ! ill never forget where im coming from tho , gonna keep it real even in the potatoe-free zone outside of the newbie section. stay safe !

Does anyone else keep getting a message saying that you posted from your IP address less than 360 seconds ago (even though you haven't)?

Welcome everyone!  :)

To clear some doubts and some other important stuff check these threads:

When you log in and every attempt to post counts so you have to wait another 360 seconds.

This is my great newbiw post!

And here are some several substantial sentences:

yes go and enjoy then you can came back in this newbie jail and talk about bitcoins  :D

Looks like I should have registered and posted long ago.  I've been lurking other sections without logging in and just now tried to post.
We'll at least here's my first post ;)

Welcome  ;D ;D ;D ;D !!

Welcome!

WHY GOD WHY????

seen it on other forums. it's a good measure that prevents idiots from spamming

this is justified ...

wait a little bit is ok for me.

This bullshit already costed me a few dollars. It is not because I didn't post before, that I don't know what I'm talking about...

How come this forum pose stupid restriction to newbie.... :'(

I can relate. I want to post specific things. Having to muck around in the part of the forums where we "have" to talk is kinda horrible. :P

hi .. welcome to the forum

this is insane not able to post nor reply

Interesting concept, keep everyone in the holding area to make sure you aren't a menace to the boards.  I wish other boards used this approach.  Just signed up and actually started messing around with mining a month ago.  Already spent too much money.. lol.

How long will I need to wait...

I browsed for more than 4 hours - then posted. 

HaHa. 4 more browsing hours to go woohoo!

The newbie section feels like i'm stuck at the airport because of a 4 hour delay. Sucks.

okay, then i will start from here ... hope i will free from this newbie section soon ... can't wait to hunt all available giveaway ...

Hi peeps,
been reading this Board for weeks now and just remembered that i cannot post yet, guess we all have to start somewhere and here is a good place as any.

hm I browsing here for half year not logged..:/ dat rulles..

A came to respond to a technical ad & a post in the classifieds..and ended up here, yay! :)

I feel your pain.

New member. Trying to get in on the 42 give away, but can't post my address...

Finally - a reply button ;)
While this rule is quite annoying, I guess we all benefit in the long run. It makes you actually read the forum rules...
So lets add another 4 hours to the countless hours I already have been on this forum!

reserved

 :o

Why exactly are you reserving this post?

How much C can a C++ if a C+ could +C?

Can I post in Slush's forum now?

ahh rules... i want some digibyte but i am going to have to wait:(

a bit silly of me, but i learnt everything i know about bitcoin off this site...weeks i have spent on here i just never thought to sign up!

oh well...

I found a reply button to make my first post! :-) Hello everyone! I have been introduced to the world of cryptocoins late but better late than never. It has been a weeks and I have a mining rig of 2.3 Mh/s. Not much but good for the beginning. Hash on!

I think it's a good thing. Makes folks read the rule............it worked for me! ;D

Ah, now it all makes sense. So this post needs to be long enough, by several sentences according to rules. I better use dots instead of commas then ;) And now if I wait 4 hours (do I have to actively browse here for 4 hours? I hope not, that's a little to long, but I can wait). And then I can post in other areas?

Yes, you have to actively browse. Just leaving your browser open wont count, and then you will be able to post everywhere.

I was so clueless why I can't post and then I saw this :D

Oooh, that's why I couldn't post :)

1st post today! Hello everyone!

Me too.  Sadly this is the only thing "substantial" I have to post in this subsection... hope it counts

Posting here!

Hmm, annoying that you must post here and wait a few hours before being able to use the other forums, but I suppose that it cuts down on spammers and automated shillbots.

lovely, posting because I guess I have to here to unlock this shit

Yeah, this is lame. The forum should just make us solve captchas or something.

I hate this system, i should post a lot but they are just useless.

If anyone is mining FairQuark..how often does your share go to your wallet. Its been 3 days and I have around 1000 coins mined and have not received any.

Well, this is a bit of an irritant. I have several posts in the non-newbie area of the site that I'd like to post to, but looks like I'm going to have to wait a long time based on these other posts. I'll try again in the morning.  :-\

Yep, I'm a newbie.   ;)

noob restriction

This post is relevant for me

Yeah, this is irritating a bit. Registered here to participate in Nxt code flaw hunt (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397183.0).
Took some time to dig out why I can't post  :'(

because you are newbies , I too

So I have to write 5 posts before I can write somewhere, this is ridiculous.  How can I think of five things to post when I can't actually post on most of the board?  Should I write some poetry?  Something to amuse you lot?

Also I kept getting this on my very first post:
"The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later."
How can I have posted within the last 6 minutes if I've never posted?

You need one post. And log-ins and attempted posts count which reset the timer.

I'm wondering whether I should post here, to the Newbies section, or attempt to post elsewhere before I have permission? It would probably be a waste of time to try the second one, so should I skip that and just post here, in the Newbies section? Or try it the other way? I'm undecided.

You can only post in here until you're a Jnr member.

how come Ive made lots more posts here and in other parts of this forum and PMs and been logged in almost 6 hours
and I have the 6 minute IP limit?

 :D
Thanks

had this problem as well. Should be fixed now :D

The 360 second limit will go away as you reach jr member (15 activity)

Wow such security  ::) This is nonsense.

this is kinda dumb but whatever

It doesn't go away entirely, but goes down each time you get more activity. My timelimit is only 28 seconds now.

Hi all,

I'm brand new here and have been having a hard time trying to find out how to post anything also.  Even here in the beginner forum it appears that I can only REPLY but not make a new post.  Am I missing something here?  I pm'ed the mod but got no response.  Thanks for your help.

You should be able to make new topics. It's on the top right hand side first option: New Topic  |  Post new poll  |  Mark Read  | 

Make sure to search though first as there's a good chance your question has already been answered.

Thank you hilarious!  I was blind for a few minutes there. 

This is an annoying but necessary feature I guess. I want to get out of here and into the other boards! :D

You already can. The newbie restrictions were lifted days ago.

weird....i got knocked down back to newbie...

Grr. I've been hanging around a while and never read the rules foe newbies. What a shame.

Yes, there was a change on the newbie restrictions and membergroup settings a few days ago.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423995.0

You will now need 30 activity to be a jr member.

thank you!


weird thing is i have a feeling they will raise it again

You are welcome.
At least, there is nothing bad for being a newbie now except that "newbie" tag. :P

no...i couldnt post in other forums like i was able to before

my guess is the 'newbie' status

Maybe when you signed up in december but the newbie restrictions were lifted days ago,

because you are newbies , I too

There is NO newbie jail now.
You just need to wait for 6 minutes after login, and everyone (including those with 0 post) can make their post on any board.

its mean we have new rules and new policy and still I don't no about this  :(

9 posts + 5 hours, still waiting !

Still waiting for what?

FYI: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423995.0

Who knows lol.

He is waiting for jr member. The activity updates every 2 weeks if im not wrong.

Maybe he means the waiting times between posts. You still have to wait 6 minutes but this decreases the more activity you get.

If so, he will need more than 4 weeks to get 30 activity after the recent change.

DAMN. I guess the are increasing "security"...

yes and I like new system and idea hope its works and have better results  ;)

we will see if it worsens the spamming situation very soon :D

Newbies will still get scammed, since they dont know what trust is.

no only newbies many Sr and full also scammed because we have no rule or law to avoid these scammes and throw out these scammers

Well mainly new people get scammed. They dont know the difference between  JR members and full members. Newbies tend to make trades with other newbies.

I cannot post anymore.
This has happened for months.
After I log in, I try to reply to a post.  It then says I have made a reply in the last 360 seconds.  I then wait for 10 minutes or so, then click submit again.  It tells me I already replied.  I check my posting history, and it says last post was in the newbies section on Dec. 24.
I haven't made a working post outside the newbies section for months still.
How can I post outside?  I used to be able to.
Thanks!

welcome to bitcointalk. helping users by forcing training wheels on people that have been using the internet for 15+ years.

i hear its to protect people against spam and FUD.

First you have to post in newbie section and browse around this forum for 4 hours I think.
After that you will be able to post everywhere.

Don't hijack old posts, make your own instead or read the sticky.

The newbie jail has been removed for months, and seriously you are trying to answer that question raised by OP 2 years ago?
