The newbie restriction is here for a good reason.
I agree. I know it's annoying at first, but the time limits and restrictions are quickly lifted. These people would be moaning a hell of a lot more if the forum was overrun with spambots and crap and the forums being down all the time from ddos attacks etc.
First post after many months of browsing! Regardless this forum is a wealth of information for anyone interested in crypto!
Just my 2 cents, and I do agree with the restrictions. I'm sure this doesn't affect ddos attacks. One can push ecr's without any active server account, not to mention all users have limited access right away. Anyway, what kind of hacker would want to damage a site so in-line with our values and beliefs?
