anyone know how long it takes to get out of newb status? i would utfs, but i need to juice my post count regardless, so - blah dumb new registrant policies.
how about some kind of intelligence test or something? i get so tired of having to juice my rep on a new board...... you should be able to 'test out' of the newbie member status... like in college.

going to answer my own question. 1 post and 4 hours. post must be substantial, a couple of sentences at least. I'm off to help someone! Or offer my opinion somewhere

. But welcome!
And I agree - I live in a small one bedroom with my fiancee, who is really puzzled as to why i have to have a laptop sitting on our kitchen table running a BFL Single with the case off and the fan propped in a better cooling position, and two hubs full of block eruptors. I'd love to start mining litecoin but honestly dont have the room to setup a full size computer, nor anywhere to run one. I really want to set up a farm, but yeah - the noise of all of those gpus and fans and how terribly ugly they look - here is hoping to someone jumping on the alt currencies and builds some dedicated, modular, configurable hashing boxes....
Cheers, and welcome!
