Bitcoin Forum

I would like to reply to a thread, but I don't see a "reply" button on the page anywhere...
Why is this?

Please help...I want to get in on the BabyJet giveaway at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=323235.0;all

Thanks in advance!  ;D

Because newbies can only reply in the Newbies section of the forum.
Read the sticky on how to to gain access to the rest of th board.

New members are confined to the newbie area until they have a certain number of posts and time on the site. I think it is something like 5 posts and a certain number of hours logged in, can't remember exactly though.

All you need is one post in newbie area and wait 4 hours

No.  Look at the top, where it says:
"Total time logged in:"  That's the time you've been logged in, once it hits 4 hours, your restrictions should be lifted.
And seriously???  Happy mining??? x_x

Monbux has a tendency to spam out of his ass.

Well, look at that, you can already post anywhere on the rest of the forums. Easy, huh?  :)

Congrats. Finally you can start post at the other place

postin' cos I got the same problem

Yeah, nice to be once again a newbee.
Because I am alraedy 57 or something like that!
Starting with bitcoins and very interested in investing in them, not so easy however.

Ahh just seen this:

Ok thanks! I read the sticky; it says:

"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."

I've been a member here since April of this year, but I haven't made any posts yet, so this explains my "restricted" status...
So (please correct me if I'm wrong), I have to wait 4 hours from starting this topic to be able to reply to a thread outside of the "Newbie" forum...

Thanks for your help!
Happy mining!  Grin


Thanks

This was a very helpful post.

I was beginning to lose my mind looking for the reply key. 

Thanks so much:)

read this first

for all newbies

After your first post in newbie, you must wait for 4 more hours to unlock reply button on other sections.

Thanks for information I was wondering why I can't reply too

I find it kind of bullshit too. But I'd like to assume there is some reason for the training wheels.

Thanks for this post. I'm still trying to find how to make a post in the newbies section. Where is that?

where's the newbies section indeed  ??? ??? ???
makes me wonder, hehehe

After you've spent some time logged in and posting here you'll be allowed to post in other areas of the forum.

Spend some time on the site and then you'll be able to reply. Post something in newbies section.

Well I guess this thread in Newbies section is as good as any other for this existential newbies first post.
Wonder what's the point?

Mind telling me this? I am currently using cudaminer and on an ASUS GTX 670.

Thats the most stupid rule I've ever heard of. Newbies cant answer questions about mining to me.

AND I KNOW CAUSE I AM NEW TO THIS FORUM MYSELF!!

I have the same permission, man.

I have the exact same problem. Actually I joined right now to reply to a thread. I also don't see where this "sticky" thing is. Can anyone show me?

Well, I understand. Could not find a reply before, quite anxious ah

This is so annoying :(

Posted, now need to wait for 4 hours. Life is good.
hummm hummm hummm. This is the sound of me(my puppies) making moneeeeey.

thanks for the information, it's helpfull.

Thanks for the information :)

There is a sticky post "NEWBIE README", and it is there for a reason.

hello  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I was looking for the same. Just made my first post, and now wait a couple of hours.....

thats the thread i am searched for.. thanks alot i hope i can reply soon..

Thanks I didn't knew this, I am very interested in cryptocurrencies aswell.

I wonder what this restriction for??
Someone can explain this...

already have post but still can't go outside newbie area T_T

1 hour to go ....

Just posting for a test.

Actually, I don't understand why I can't post on Btc-e's Russian thread, when I'm able to post on any other thread I wish?

This is the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29698.0

Because that thread is locked.

good

Thank you hilariousandco.

This is a good way to get rid of spamming... Few more hour to go and I'm in. Having some hardware problems that I need to resolve and I hope this community can help as I see a lot of experienced users :)

You currently should be good to go as you are now marked as a Junior Member. Junior Members and above can but when you first start it has you as a newbie and keeps you from such things because they are wanting to limit the chances of spam bots. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your advise :)

...Me too, just testing  ;D

When OP made this thread, there were some newbie restriction in place.
So, he needed to make a post and wait 4 hours before being able to reply in other places.

But NOW, all the newbie restrictions are gone.
You can go straight to the board or thread you want to reply. What you need is just to wait 6 minutes between each posts; and actions like logging in and searching will reset the timer.

It shows 4 hours and 12 minutes above but I still can't reply on another post...OK...I'll be honest it's for a coin give away which I have already moved my miners to but still want the extra 2,000 coins.  I have posted in the past concerning the crazy Coinye's and 0daycoins.com and have a 4 hour Total time logged in above.

I'm pretty new to this and have been mining on 6 rigs now for over two months. To all the other newbies out there, you really can get some good advice on here as to setting up rigs, alt-coins, exchanges...but I still can't tell you exactly how to get past the newbie status.

Do you have to post then sit at that same post for 4 hours?

And then I read the post stating coin give aways are forbidden.  WTF?  I have been seeing these since first coming here from google links and the first time I decide to put my name in the hat, I find it can get you banned.  That's my luck.  Had the same luck with fricken doges when I decided to ride out the drop and not sell my 3,000,000 at their peak only to find that now the devs decided to keep adding unlimited coins so that value won't be going back up anytime soon.

Timing is everything in the crypto-currency world.  Don't believe it?  Ask the big bitcoin holders that started mining two years before us noobs.

Nope, read my post above yours. There is no newbie restrictions now.


Yup, all the altcoin giveaway thread is locked now.
After all, this is bitcointalk, not altcointalk.
