Title: Moderators are not helping new folk understand mining. Post by: SMB-2525 on September 28, 2014, 11:09:20 PM Yet another post trying to help new people understand the economics of mining gets moved to mining speculation. I tried hard to avoid that with this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=801434.0 I hereby nominate a new category - the economics of mining. The moderators are not helping new miners understand the business by putting articles on the economics of the business into speculation. IMHO, this dogmatic approach means this forum is effectively acting as shill for those selling hashing power. I'm disappointed. Title: Re: Moderators are not helping new folk understand mining.

Title: Re: Moderators are not helping new folk understand mining. Post by: -ck on September 28, 2014, 11:25:11 PM Moved to meta since you have a complaint about moderation and a request for a new sub-board.
Also note the forum is literally LITTERED with my own warnings about making money, like this: You learn about bitcoin mining, read lots of advertisements, visit lots of flashy sites, compare prices, look at forecasts, consult experts, examine graphs, pick apart forum posts, make predictions based on all that and then you flush your money down the toilet. Then you spend the next 6 months making shit up to convince yourself and others you made money in the process. So saying I'm shilling for mining is hardly accurate...

If yes, I'll stand corrected as I do not read every thread. I see a bunch of posts like yours with no data do back them up. Title: Re: Moderators are not helping new folk understand mining.
