You need to keep clicking in order for the "time spent online" to be incremented - so whilst it can take a while even if you spend only an hour a day on the forum then provided that you are actively clicking on numerous topics (rather than just leaving the webpage sitting) it shouldn't even take a week to have accumulated the required time (am pretty sure it only took myself a day).


I get what you're saying, but an hour a day just to be able to post to a forum? Not all of us have that kind of time to spend on a single website.

Posting itself is a minor part. It's the 4 hours of logged in time that gets you.

I call BS. If he never had the $50,000 in his hands then he didn't lose it. He lost the fiat/on paper value, but that's arbitrary. This article reads more like a shill to pump up BitCoin.

It's not the 5 posts that bothers me, it's the 4 hours. I've been on here for over a week and have only logged 2 hours 22 minutes. As a marketing professional, I believe 4 hours not only cuts out spammers, but also cuts out many legitimate prospects who get too frustrated with the limits and decide to move on.

An hour, hour and a half.. sure, but four hours? That's going to take me weeks to get!

I'm starting to think 4 hours is far too long before being able to post outside of "Newbies."

I keep seeing Mt Gox connection errors popping up. Mt Gox is struggling right now with numerous timeouts. They must be running everything on one server.

What you say is true, but the core problem (I believe) is that the tool is configured to call to a non-existent URL. I'm routinely getting the message that connection to MtGox was successful, but nothing is coming through on a live basis, and I see that error that I mentioned in the console log. For me, it gets fresh data, but only when I reload the page.

I'm not sure. Could be that the "non-existent URL" is a temporary redirect before trying the Mt Gox connection again. Who knows? Good luck!

anyway, do you know where I can buy some I am still not yet eligible for the giveaway.

They're not selling yet.

I hope they find a solution for you. Mt Gox is still under "Frenzied Buyer" attack (or DDoS). Good luck.

I don't think they're going to like you begging in here. There is a specific place for the Ripple communications.

What did you buy at if you dont mind me asking.

If this is the fault of Bitcoin, it is because Bitcoin is too good.


Easy now.... too much hype isn't a good thing.

Of course that sort of manipulation is possible! Bitcoins are being driven to these wild swings by media exposure. The news sent bitcoin values to the moon, then the Web issues turned those stories around and brought it raining back down. It will eventually get back to normal, but don't think that no more of these crazy peaks / valleys are going to happen.

The bubble will burst. Not because this isn't a feasible idea, but because greed based on speculation alone will keep the trust level at a very low level.

It's toxic. Open a window and turn on a fan. Not worth getting some off-the-wall cancer because you want to mine a few bitcoins!

I totally agree with the "probationary" period, but I think you guys should make the "Newbie" area and the details stay up near the top of the page, so it doesn't take so long to actually find everything.
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Introduce yourself :) on: April 12, 2013, 05:09:05 PM
Finally, I found the Newbie post area!

I guess the Bitcoin learning curve is more brutal than I thought.

Anyhow, what's up everyone?
