In my view the current system is very bad. It is unnecessary and it deflects the most valuable contributors, namely those that also have other important things to do instead of wasting their time in this childish way.

But I doubt that any amount of opinion here will change it. One of the most prominent features of the human mind is its strong inclination to force rules on others, no matter how idiotic they are. Add self-overestimation, righteousness, and simple stupidity, and you arrive at what the world looks like, this forum included.

The world is a madhouse. I am trying to look for the few small islands of sense. The bitcoin market itself may be one of them, after the initial stupidity has eliminated itself from it by giving its money away to the more sensible traders. Smiley

It is OK for me, because when I first found out, that I can not post, I had already spent more than 7 hours to read and understand what is bitcoin and mining. So the 4 hour rule makes a lot of sense to me.

It seems to have some kind of algorithm where it tries to guess whether you're likely to actually be active or just happen to have one page loaded in a minimized browser for hours. If you click to other pages every so often, the time should start increasing.

If someone was allowed to participate in main forums, can answer this.

1)Is the account status e.g. Newbie/Activated is automatically changed, or does it depend on something else?
2)Does this count as a "post"

Really excited to be a member of this forum.

I have this great new program called pristine miner that a online friend wrote.

Looking forward to getting it spread around mining pools and seeing what it can really do!

Members of this forum are pretty gunshy about external links to software, do not post links to this pristine miner.  Offer it to the developers in the devepers section once you can do so, and let them vet it.  Any attempt to post a link to this software in the general sections, or without letting the developers check it, will quickly earn you a 'scammer' tag and you will likely be banned for malware.  If it's worth having, they will include it in the software section and give your friend his due mentions.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Your post inspired me to join, been reading with 5-8 tabs open on various threads for the last couple of weeks ,in between chores and other duties, figured what the heck, time to join!

Also personally I found a specific programming issue (minor) with the latest 0.6 GUI wallet, pertains to cut/paste of label text, while sending some mBTC's day before yesterday, now wondering how to ever get those specifics to a developer team member, where they might be able to find it & get it on the todo list. 

Allot of stuff to follow on this forum, for those of us in the Newbie camp, it's pretty overwhelming....

GR

P.S.  When installing for the first time late in March, it kinda blow me away that nobody has developed a manual yet for the 0.6 GUI, is this true?  A simple step-by-step and the how/why your doing what your doing to get involved in BitCoin's for the first time.  Anybody working on that already?  Appreciate being pointed to the threads, and might possibly be willing to help get involved in such a project.
