getting som XP

Just keep grinding and kill wraiths, you will eventually level up.

In the meantime, ask a question or promote some kind of interesting discussion.  :)

Yes we can post just here.

Oh, forgot to say HI.

okay thanks guys

DING +1 8)

oh hai    :D

Hi, you need 5 posts and 4 hours of browsing. Thats the ticket out of newbie prison.

Thanks for the info. Should of signed up weeks ago, would have the 4 hours of reading done by now! :D

5 posts?

Why 5 posts?

What if we have nothing to add to the Noob convos?

I understand the time requirement, but the posts just encourage useless, wasted posts like this.

 ;)

I think this is their way to fight spam.

This protection means that everyone at write just some nonsense

Takes 4 hours

i want to go level up 2 !

Hello I am to be wanting the posts so that I can has teh levels I need to posts with big boys, yes? Do not censor the son of a shepard!

But seriously, I have a patch for cudaminer that'll fix someone in that thread's issue, and a pull request for the code waiting on github, so I kind of want to update the relevant thread with that info. While I understand the noobie-blocking stuff, it's a little frustrating for those who have something to contribute off the bat :(. Oh well.

I seem to be still in prison, I have 5 and a half hours logged.

thats bad news. hopefully 4h and 5 posts would be enough..

Hi I´m new here, how can i level up? greets

Hi, good info,
I want to reply to loads of topics, have been watching from afar with 'bitcoin' in twitter search and some account posts most interesting links to this forum.
Thanks for that  :D

 ???

hi!

5 posts, 4 hours of browsing

lol same here

so hows life fellow newbies

3rd post

4th post

im doneewee

2nd post...

I'm going to read more and learn more now. Might be back for 3 later.

just wanna know if i'm not newbie anymore  ;D

I don't know how to accumulate hours of browsing... the counter does not seem to increment. :(

I don't see the value in these limits.

i'm too. just wait. And my soul in flame right now. Cau's i lost a bitcoin on deepbit. so Lol:

Yes if you want LvUp, you need post, xD every post give you 8% exp for Lv 2. and, every hour of training (you need 4 hours) give you 15% of Exp. Good Luck leveling.

 wahh i still need like 2 more hours  :-\

My "time logged in" has been frozen at 2 h 9 min for quite a long time now ....

I'm also in prison and need to go out  :)

Yes I'm sure :D

I've just sent 5 pointless post, I hope it's enough  ;)

Thus it could be untrue.

We shall see the outcome pretty soon I guess

I think we all need post at lest 4, so I'm doing it

this is my fourth message!  ;)

To be noob not the same don't have reputation  8)

Been on here all last night and mosst of today and am still at 3h40mins This forum is like the tardis..

Pointless reply, I mean mine

Still can't get out of my noob level either. been here for ages.

yeha..in 5 min

Hi all! ;)

helloo

phew - only 45 minutes to go here!

Level up

Lets all post again like last summer

The amount of people who don't read.

I will have the last words in this topic.

nope not

Same!

Till I

i wish i was out.

I heard it was "double XP Tuesday"....

become jr member!

that's what i heard too. now i'm 1/5 of the way from leveling up!

am i a jr yet?

This is my first noob reply so I have to ask a noob question. Do this count as one of my 5 posts? I have 3 hours and 9 minutes to go.

It takes awhile just wait

number 3

dedicated noob leveling thread ftw

i am so ready to level up to alternate cryptocurrencies status

post 4 and getting closer.

1

How many coins do you guys have?

Thanks and farm post

Double XP Tuesday is a hit

BTC looking like phone numbers

postang for level up

Fer sure

i'm posting here too hoping to make bitcoin and ripple friends kinda scared new to it all i know i need to build some bridges i got a little bit coin money i'm willing to distribute to establish those bridges, not expecting to get rich just trying to get by in a tuff time.

New here.

trying the glow effect  :)

Gotta get on the grind to get those Satoshis

Heh. The big question - how many of us will ever return back to the Newbies section after we 'level up'? Much as I like helping people out, generally speaking I don't have the time to go to every section of a forum anymore.

does it matter? there will always be new noobs to help eachother out  ;D just like what we did

meh wanted to help a memeber by saying a site they made works well but can't so to the NEWBIE SECTION!!!!!!

Hello! Getting some XP myself.

only 30 more minutes  :o

Hello Guys!
I am a newcomer, I see there is restrictions for so called newbies to post in other places. We need to level up.
Are you agree to open a topic to discuss here?

Too bad time spent lurking does not count for anything.    :)

Agreed lol

I have been reading and using bitcointalk for 5 or 6 months but unfortunately as a guess. 5 posts and 4 hours for a level up. Right?

That's correct

What is the title of level 2? And what to level up from 2 to 3?

Seems my last question was not heard  :(

perhaps you guys can show me a link to read and know

4hours is too much  :-[

I have been using it for more than 100 hours, just in the guest mode. Why 4 hours is much? Are you planing to do something important after taking this level off?

By reaching the second level can one post on any part he desires in this forum? Or still there r some other restrictions as well?

Powercoin is really making me angry  >:(

why?

Can we not exchange level up for Mario mushrooms? :(

Come on guys, say something meaningful, they do not award u ice cream a level upper!

very well.

Thanks for the info. Should of signed up weeks ago, would have the 4 hours of reading done by now!

ding or what?!

This is a well put together forum! Well done guys!
I like it a lot!

Kill Roy Was Here.
Scribbling on the prison wall.
Yes useless post for points.
Hey can you see my signature?

Yay, level 2!!

Level up, that's all you need

got 5 and still didn't level up  ???

Dude, you need at least 6

something fun will happen when you finish reading this sentence ;D BTC

1more for me  ;D

Can't wait for min  :D

Newbie readme says 5, unless its changed and no one updated that sticky.

Hi everyone :) Bitmaniac here :D Need to level up to ask for blade erupter to buy friedcat ;D

hello,
just saying hello

It's grinding time.

I think this is their way to fight spam.

Hello! Getting some XP myself.

hello

Too frivolous topic for serious people 8)

hmm not letting em level up...

4 hours is harsh.

 I have forum posts to contribute to...
 

Hello from Germany everyone :)

Power level!

I agree, 4 hours c'mon! A very important message needs to be relayed!

Is it 5 posts and 4 hours, or 5 posts or 4 hours?

Trying to power up as well.

Getting there.

basically no one new should post the 4 hour requirement is way to stupid to discuss

So many threads like this READ THE STICKY

Or you can use search engine..

Yeah, I have 10 hours and 58 minutes. I'm starting to think it's 4 hours after your first post? Perhaps.

Maybe we're just unlucky.

grind.... +1xp  ;)

Thats bad news for me. Reading for days and only just realised I needed to post in here first! I thought I was straight in  :-[

So, anyone building some new rigs?

shout out to me for my first very hot topic! lol

check out my new post



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=212729.msg2236124#msg2236124

No.  I have determined that, for myself, it's cost-prohibitive and would probably not net any profit.

Same here... I'm targetting the services industry rather than mining or trading; hoping to get a few more games etc online :)

I put one together using mostly parts left over from other builds. I can't see myself building an all-new computer for mining at this point. In my small apartment, the GPU heat alone would probably kill me. :D

Not being able to post outside of here is terrible.

Nope, no more rigs. Might upgrade some older cards for newer, more energy efficient if getting a good deal... then again upgrading always means you need to spend some money.

But still, new hardware ;D!

very well

hi

Very interesting how this thread (and the ones in newbie) is full of rubbish just for the sake of going to 2nd level  ;)

Are you guys not doing it because of the initial cost for building GPU rigs or because of the looming threat of ASIC? I made my first two rigs last month, one with four 7950s and one with two 5970s. They've been pumping out about 4gh/s and I've made about 4 BTC. Subtract the cost of electricity and one of the 7950s has paid for itself already. I also didn't have all the cards up and running on the same day, more like a week in between the first and last two 7950s. I expect this month to be a little better.

LoL reference? +1 upvote

the only protection against asics is to mine scrypt

True, and that's what I will eventually do if, and when ;D, BFL ships their mystery boxes and Avalon units all get to their owners. As of right now though, I still see profits if the value of BTC holds/increases.

interesting

Greetings.

Building a 4x 7950 rig would be ~$2000, give or take, would hash ~2Gh/s, and would take about 6 months to pay off at the current difficulty.  But we can probably expect the difficulty to be up by 50% in six months, if not more.  If I could build it for ~$1000 it would make a better cost proposition, but at twice that it's not very effective against $300 5Gh/s miners coming online now.

Hi all!!

ahahah fun

hi

hi

greetings  :)

Hellos!!

*ding* level up!

You should search the forum for your answers before posting :)
Here it is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0)

Level up, wow.

While it's certainly not the most cost effective option, my rig with four 7950s cost around $1600 and is hashing at 2.5Gh/s. This certainly beats buying a grossly inflated "queue" unit from someone that may or may not end up shipping. And honestly, my end state was just to test out bitcoin and have my equipment pay for itself. Nothing like getting "free" video cards while you're at work.

Oh hayyyy!

Fresh Meat here! I feel like I'm late to the party and all the booze is gone  :'(

top lel

the requirements are too funny, yet they do stop the level of bots and fake accounts being able to post, so its nice :D

hello  8)

Yeah, I forgot my password and I am now getting the message that I am locked out of my account when trying to log in. Is there any way this can be reset?

lvl up pls  :D

Up up up  ;D howdie.

Same here. I'm building a new rig and as soon as it becomes flat out unprofitable I'll jump over to scrypt.

One last post my log in time is up to speed lets go out and post

ding dinng ding level two

Hello all, trying to make interesting discussion....

Meeeh; I just feel like I'm too late to the game. I can't really compete in that arena; I don't have a load of cash to throw at the problem. What I DO have though is some coding skill, so I mostly just feel like I spend my time better there.

About what exactly?

How about which crypto-currency project,  bitcoin, litecoin, some other alt-currency ,..., seems most intriguing as a newbie?

While I've been following bitcoin for some time (and just starting to participate) I do like the appeal of being able to more easily mine litecoin and actually participate at this time. It just fun to have coins to work with!  

If you want to help me get going with BTC, I do humbly except donations :). To support growth I'll randomly pass on half to any other newbies who reply. Happy to prove it if someone tells me how. That's gotta spur some BTC love, right?  (I'm certainly no economist)

Well, just happy to be here.

hi

This is pretty stupid we have to spam to get into the real forum

+1

One more for graduation? ???

Let's do it!

Just keep grinding and kill wraiths, you will eventually level up.

You must construct additional pylons...or something

I think I have never seen such restriction for noobs anywhere, however it's probably useful to keep other sections free of stupid questions  :)

imho its bullshit. whatever

MY MINIONS!

PROTECT ME SQUIRE!

4 and then macro for 4 hours

Okay, I have patiently waited for the "Total time logged in" to go beyond 4 hours, and I have 13 posts.

So why cannot still not reply to the rest of the forum?

It turns out that after posting this post I am now able to post elsewhere.

Why not just activate it automatically?

Let's do it!

Hi another newbies how want to grow up ! ;)

hi!

I may yet level up someday....

hi

Hi!

This will be my 6th post, and I have 4 hours logged. Hopefully I get access to the other forums shortly. 8)

i can't reply on other box  ???

my time logged in doesn't appear to be goin up, which is odd.

Level up bro

+1

Doh, I didn't realise there was a 4 hour wait as well as the 5 post thing until I signed up. I've spent way more time than that on this board in the last week.

Don't really understand the point of this system... You can just spam in newbie section and then do what you want later anyway. It doesn't ensure the newbie has any credibility.

I'm in newbie jail too, just doing my time ;D

Yea wish I had signed up a while when I started learning and reading up... o well, doin' time...

5 posts + 4 hours online. 1 topic to activate PM

Increasing the counter! ))

Coming in to give some love to the nubs! I was one of you once not long ago, you're almost there!!

So does the 4 hour ticker start after the 5th post or is it concurrent with account creation?  I appologize if this has already been answered.

lol +1 i feel like a big kid now

Hi all,

Looking to level up to group-buy avalons and burnin's services. I'm a mug, I know.

Do I just spam here 5 times or do I have to reply to others?

Edit: does an edit count?

Hello again, noob here, ignore me. Or abuse me :)

Ignoring you :-D ... Just have to Write it because i also Need posts ;-)

how many post till i become a full member?

Hello everyone!!  ???

Hi there!

 ;)

maybe just a few more for me... i hope

New forum rules https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0

Me aswell. I've read this forum and the reddit forums news and miner updates for almost two years now - and especially over the last year for news and bitcoin announcements. I haven't come out of the shadows until now - I'm seeing posts about bitcoin PCB design - I wish I could contribute and learn.

Finally decided to start an account here. Kinda lame to have the newbie restrictions. Guess it's a good thing?  :-\

Hello everyone!
