I certainly don't know more than the average newbie, but I was hoping to sell a few things to earn some bitcoin.

Edit by Maged:
What are you thinking of selling?

By the way, how many posts do I have to make to get out of here without begging? I thought it was 5.

Actually, I want to say that this method of forcing new people into a separate colony is a bad idea. It is supposed to reduce "troll" behavior, but you won't find a definition of "troll" anywhere. You can go on the boards right now and see arguments, dramas, and controversies.  Participants will call each other "trolls" but what does that word mean? Sometimes one can tell that both parties believe what they are saying--they just differ in opinion--and I don't think labeling either one of them "a troll" is helpful. In other cases you can see a poster with a large amount of post experience criticizing the entire concept of bitcoin.  This person might just be "a troll" in that their only goal appears to be to start controversy, but they are not being quarantined here in the colony.

Again, I think that not only is this method not working to reduce "trolls", but it has the effect of turning away enthusiastic new supporters of bitcoin. All of the bitcoin community suffers from this, and I don't think this has been very well thought out by the administrators of this forum.

Hi All,
I'm in new Zealand and I'm interested in Bitcoins for a number of reasons.

Firstly if they are taken up in the mainstream I feel a few Bitcoins now will be worth a load in the future.
 
Secondly There just a great idea. Not having to use a bank to send currency is fantastic.

Thirdly Its Awesome

Its very useful Tech. The way it should be..

Oh, wow!

I'm delighted to find that I have just one hour and 30 minutes before I become an "established" member!

I feel so fancy.

 

...Well, I will in another 1.5 hours of login time.

 

If you have an immediate need to be allowed into the forum beyond, please post your request here. Reasons such as "I'm not a spammer" will be ignored. You must provide evidence that shows that you understand more about Bitcoin than the average newbie would or that what you want to post can only be done in another forum. Try to be as specific as possible.

Much obliged.

Edit: Many people posting here have already met the 5 posts and 4 hour requirements. If you see "Jr. Member" by your name, you don't need to post here.

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts.

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.
- You need 50 posts to put an image in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.

please do so! and get some posts
don't be so negative, the 50-post-rule is there for a reason: to get rid of the trolls. NOT to piss newcomers off.

relax take it easy and smile.
