Welcome to the forum

Hope you get out of newbie gaol soon...

I'm in the same boat as you, let's hope we get out of 'newbie jaill' fairly soon

Edit:
After reading the NEWBIE README it would seem my original post couldn't possibly be construed as substantial, hence this edit.
I've explored bitcoins for approximately 15 months now (although BFL didn't ship my Jalapeno until ~4 months ago even though it was estimated to ship late November 2012, but that's a different story...).

My current mining setup is still ye olde Jalapeno attached to a netbook running Ubuntu and bfgminer which does a nice job. Originally I had the ASIC being controlled by a RaspberryPi and MinePeon but the Pi died on me which I didn't notice for almost a month but hey, what can you do? BFGminer isn't quite as user friendly as MinePeon but it does the job, screen for the win!

Same boat here to.  Honest question, why do they have such tight restrictions?  I would be happy to spend some time filling out a form, etc to prove that I'm not a bot, but the current set up just leads to people making worthless posts in the newbie area to "gain credibility" which really just takes away from the forums.

It seems like there should be some other measure or way to keep spam out.  Just my 2 cents!

I agree...how many posts with "I'm new here" (including mine) do we really need to read

I'll put in my time doing dishes in the back if that's what they want from me!
