Newbie restrictions

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.

Code:

cgminer.exe caused an Access Violation at location 74aec9f1 Reading from location 00000000.

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.

[silvermario]

I read this forum since months, and now that I need to PM someone, I have to wait.
Late on bitcoin buying, and now late on bitcointalk registering, when I will learn ?

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

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 

jk

[timmeigs]

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

[phrog]

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.

It is frustrating but it forces one to actually engage and become part of a community if they are serious. Fly by the sun members and silly comments are easily weeded out by precautions like this. Awesome. Lets see what class I fall into...lol

[refer_2_me]

It's just a bit irritating that I have to post something to this list with is meaningless to everyone, just to get my posts up to 5 so I can ask the one question on the list that I want to. So sorry if you read this.

[cryptid]

Post #2.

[LaidBack]

Glad there are some posting restrictions to make me go through and read up on what the general rules and etiquette is around here.

[c1oud]

Posted a request for preemptive whitelisting but it wasn't fulfilled and no reaction at all. At least smb shoud have notified if request was rejected or etc.
Now hope will not need that anymore, this is 5th post
