Newbie restrictions

[ragnard]

with BTCGuild and deepbit getting DDOS, does that mean difficulty should be going down because of less total hash power?

i need to post in other section, thnx

[Konzul]

5 posts and 4 hours is a good level to ensure people are reasonable.

[Welvis]

yes and no, i don't disagree there needs to be some sort of restriction, but I've been reading the forums without registering for ages, finally decided i had some thing constructive to say, which will now be obsolete by the time i get there.

Maybe another way to be able to post without the full wait times would be by "verification" or sponsorship from an existing member 

[makiet]

nah, I'm tired of this restrictions 

[silverchair]

Cool...So i have to learn to crawl so i can walk.

Same for me. Read a lot, wanted to reply and found the restriction. Ah well, I guess banning trollers took to much time.

so if i post 5 times and am logged in for 5 hours i get to post in other threads...sounds easy enough.

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

You can see your online time when in "profile" click "Show general statistics for this member."

Cool, thanks!

Already has 18 post, yet still a Newbie

Seems like a good policy to keep out the spammers

I guess you will be a newbie until you have 50 posts.

I doubt it, you only have 25 posts today and you already are a Jr. Member. Look, they changed my stat, someone heard my tiny voice

Yeah, but unfortunately the spammers are on higher status not on the Newbies, LOL,

The only problem with the policy is that some of us are well-read on the subject of Bitcoin (like me) and I'd like to reply to the things I read in the other threads. But I can only post my 5 first posts in this newbie-section, so I need to just reply to the issues here (which are not so interesting all the time) - I gather replies also counts as posts? What I mean is, it's almost like spam to be posting 5 posts here just to be approved. I've got almost 7 hours logged in and have also read at least as much when not logged in just being linked from twitter et. al. And I use lots of other sources to read up on btc.

So to add something substantial to this post (and get started with the count): I've made phone calls to politicians, the central bank, the auditing authorities and a few business banks in the country I'm posting from. I also spoke to the foreign minister on the subject - and none of them had heard of the currency. This is 1. bad (for them). 2 good (it shows the almost insane potential the currency has - it's already at 100 MUSD - yet "no one" has heard of it.

Is there enough 5 posts to posting on not newbies forums?

Yap, in mine country noone knows about bitcoin. For BTC growth we should build up the infrastructure.

Which country is this may I ask ?
