Title: Newbie test Post by: steamboy on August 03, 2012, 10:54:32 AM I have a great idea how to separte newbies and user. Lets create test.
I have some tricky quistons: 1. Where is wallet.dat located (Windows). 2. What is real name of creator Bitcoin. 3. How to log into bitcoin account? 4. How much crypto keys your wallet.dat contains? Please post your answers here. Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting? Post by: marlon8888 on August 04, 2012, 02:42:28 PM when can i start posting replies

it is called the "Newbies forum" do the right thing - get set free early google made tests of the sort you talk of redundant years ago :) Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting? Post by: gbl08ma on August 04, 2012, 11:02:33 PM 1. Where is wallet.dat located (Windows). I don't consider myself a newbie, but I don't use Windows and so I don't know where it is located (I believe it is somewhere in the Application Data mess, but IDK where exactly). Just to explain why some questions wouldn't work well for everyone ;) we have a test it is called the "Newbies forum" do the right thing - get set free early google made tests of the sort you talk of redundant years ago :) Exactly :) Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting?

Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting? Post by: CoinCleaner on August 05, 2012, 11:44:19 PM when can i start posting replies This should be on this "newbie test" ha... But nah, on a more serious note what for? Some people aren't super tech savvy and wouldn't even be able to get to the bitcoin folder since its hidden ( the one containing wallet.dat) and just because they don't know that doesn't mean they should not be allowed to chat in a bitcoin community! Anyone and everyone should be allowed. Except scammers..oh and assholes like (DaT) :P Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting?

You just ruined our test lol :) That was a question for newbies to pass the unofficial newbie test! You just gave away the answer! Now we can't successfully weed thru all the newbies on here who have zero knowledge of bitcoins. Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting?

Post by: CoinCleaner on August 06, 2012, 01:38:34 AM Yeah he ruined it pretty good, I don't think anybody else would've thought to google it. Sadly and surprisingly, many people ask stupid questions all the time without doing what they should always do first when they have a question..goooogle! I get what youre saying tho Title: Re: How bout create newbie test or someting?

Also added couple of new questions Title: Re: Newbie test Post by: Zanatos666 on August 06, 2012, 01:16:20 PM users/app data/roaming/bitcoin/wallet.dat
You have to make sure you have hidden folders/files unchecked in your folders options in order to find your app data folder. Title: Re: Newbie test Post by: John (John K.) on August 06, 2012, 02:42:12 PM 3. How to log into bitcoin account? 4. How much crypto keys your wallet.dat contains? Please post your answers here. Okay, I'm baffled. If both of this questions were in place when I signed out here, I would still be a newbie. :'( Title: Re: Newbie test Post by: AndrewBUD on August 06, 2012, 02:50:44 PM 3.

Title: Re: Newbie test Post by: theymos on August 08, 2012, 02:02:28 AM A test to get out of newbie status would be entirely counter-productive. The point of newbie status is to:
- Create an unavoidable cost associated with creating an account. If you're banned, you've got to do some work to be able to post in regular sections again. - Contain most spammers and trolls so that their posts can be seen more easily. A test has no cost for trolls, spammers, and banned users. It has a cost only for legitimate new users, who are exactly the people I want to enter the main forum. Title: Re: Newbie test Post by: dree12 on August 08, 2012, 02:04:54 AM A test to get out of newbie status would be entirely counter-productive. The point of newbie status is to: What about this test (or an easier one) at signup, if possible? That should block most bots.- Create an unavoidable cost associated with creating an account.

Bots are already effectively blocked unless they have manual help.

So if you are new user, u have to do same job as banned user to get new acc? That is pointless and just scares away new users who are exactly the people u want to enter the main forum.

Test question 2: Choose one of a. Why is there so much hate for Atlas? b. Why is there so much hate for Bruce Wagner? Google the answers and you'll still have some learning to do.

Me neither, what job? Hanging out for a couple of days in the newbie section and saying hello to a few people before you're allowed to enter the main site? Title: Re: Newbie test Post by: WebsterXC on August 09, 2012, 04:35:44 AM The current requirements to get out of the newbie section aren't all that hard. I joined 7 minutes ago and have 3 posts already. Wow, so difficult I don't think it's worth it...
