Thank you all for your input, I will be sending pm's to a few that I feel might be able to mentor/direct me in the right direction.
Since I am a newbie it will only allow me to send one message per hour. (I guess that is why everyone is giving me a hard time)
Can anyone send me a message that I can reply to, or do I have to wait a full hour before messaging? Also if I send a message it looks like some people may have settings to not even accept it since I am a newbie... Is that common practice?
Not really but there will be a red warning sign that the message was from a newbie. I would suggest to ask the person if they have telgram or whatsapp account so you can communicate quickly and easy. Just be aware who you deal with thus better to deal with those reputed members.
Anyways, why don't you do P2P as also what others suggested?
