brilliant idea 1:
I think it'll be a little less annoying if staff could pin a post for newbies on the discussion page directing them here.
Took me a while to figure out why I can't post

brilliant idea 2:
.. now, if only we could use all this newbie idle time to somehow mine coins...

Hi guys (and gals), name's dr01d.

Am a Linux sysadmin for some 10 years.
Been following Bitcoin since 2010, including this forum but only now decided to register.
Mined my first coins using a low-end GPU way back then and lost it all due to laptop disk crash, would've been 40$ richer now

Anywayz, greetings you y'all
