Newbie restrictions

I'm in the same boat.  I've been browsing this forum and mining for months, but never needed to actually post until today.

Not too sure what it's preventing either.

What GPUs you running Stealth?

I've been running 5870's since June last year and 7970s more recently on Litecoin.

Very sensible rules. I think this is post number one for me.

I'm running two HD 7950's.  Actually, I've been running one for a while, just added a 2nd and now I'm getting crashes, which is why I'm trying to post and get help

hip hop hooray

Actually, it's quite ironic that I never registered to avoid talking for nothing and that I have now to do this at its climax...

You may have to dial the core settings down on the second one. My Sapphire Vapor-X 5870s went crook after a while (came from a bad batch) and I had to underclock them to not get them to crash.

Ok, see you soon newbs mates, hopefully the last post to be allowed to talk about custom hardware.

I thought of that, but nothing is overclocked and they seem to be running fine.  But the mining software all crashes on startup.  It's probably driver related, but I can't gleam any useful info.

Hey, I managed to get crash info from cgminer... still not very helpful though.  I don't expect much help here, I'm just waiting for my newbie status to go away so I can post this in the correct place.

I also think its fair, I found about this through the Ripple giveaway and wished I had found it so much sooner!

-_-

[piranha]

Yeah this makes a lot of sense as to why I couldn't send messages

[mintz]

Newbie doobie.

The same here. I pity me i haven't found this forum 1 year ago, now I feel I'm late on this train.

[BlindedbyBTC]

yup same boat 

[merlinthe]

The restrictions are quite irritating when I'm an experienced bitcoiner, have a cool story to tell, and cannot because I didn't make the 5 posts to this forum

On the bright side, the story probably wasn't that cool, so nothing lost

[timmeigs]

as a newbie, i find these fair.  i hate spammers!

Yeah, i guess it is necessary.. but i wouldn't say fair.
I don't think legit posters should be affected by spammers in anyway ideally.
