Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 175. (Read 442105 times)

Can't wait to get out of newbie status, because I have the same issue as described in the following thread, and the bitinstant CEO has asked others affected to PM him.

mh, still not able to post although I have 5posts and also uptime enough on the forums as I read a lot

Just wanted to PM someone

Thanks for the heads up.

hmm i've now been on for 4 hours and 5 minutes and i can still only post in newbies 

love the restrictions 

thats also my main issue, but people should post an email or some other form of contact unless they strictly want to keep their business among people who use this forum alot.

yeah.. i really just wanted to pm doogie because of his in depth glance at tailored betting...
i did some work with this awhile back. now that ive been up all night my enthusiasm is waning.
if i spend 4hrs a year on forums its an exception, i think the rule is downright stupid and counterproductive. but there is that less fortunate slice of humanity that just cant live without rules...

I think this makes sense, but what about people who just signup to buy bitcoins and need to PM a guy who made a thread? 4 hours waiting it's a lot.

I think it's only fair to put requirements into place.  The 5 post minimum seems pretty relaxed....  I must say I'm unsure about the 4h of time logged on.  How is this measured exactly?  Seems a little steep.  Then again, it's your forum so you get to make the rules

oh, subject is 'newbie restrictions'
a: let me tell you what [all] i have to say about 'em..
newbie restrictions are the result of some obsessive compulsive...
this is actually a bitch waste of time...
so who's the 'authority' anyway?
one governments enough... i just dont see 'forum sentinals' with their shortswords on a BITCOIN forum, of all things,....
well, restricted to this pit for a few posts so lll
break topic [yes, stone me]
to ask...
anyone have similar problems. with the saoshi client [the 'standard bitcoin wallet]...

A: at random instances it demands btc fees of ten to thirty times the standard .0005 ......
nor will it allow a zero fee transact....
          is my wallet defective?

B: random large btc fees having led me to beleive i had a corrupted download, i uninstalled and replaced my wallet [after removing all but a few satoshi]..
when i reinstalled btc wallet here it is with the old errors AND the few satoshi...
like i deleted the hidden files and uninstalled the wallet..

so where is bitcoin hiding what?
is there a bitcoin 'cookie' sneaking around in my machine?
like i once had to use three sticks of dynamite to remove AOL from one of my machines..
is there a 379 digit prime multiple that i have to send to BTHQ on the moon or what?
i just want to start with a clean wallet...

C: some other stupid ass wallet, an android app... so i have 77 fully clear btc and spend three or four satoshi, and it locks up the whole wallet.. until the blockchain process pulls six clears on the two satoshi transfers.... this is the common android app im referring to, not some fly by night free software from china..
oh well... of course i drained that wallet and just dont use the android cause i cant find an ap written by someone who wasnt on crack....
anyone know of one?

hey, go ahead and correspond direct with me on anything...
as far as the forum goes, a lot of people are just here to [listen to themselves] yak, want to work on a project.. communicate.


forum=piss into the wind, is what it looks like to me, but they did pull off that revolution in egypt,..

ok.. first post.
yes, this is a restrictive and resistive waste of time..
im sure it drives off potential participants.. lots of them.
also,.. i never was comfortable with brain police in any form..
sure, trolls are a bother.. 8 year olds whoknow how to type , but there is an ignore button...
im rambling here, somewhat..
but, if youve ever looked at any legal paperw' ork, or a EULA aggreement, or any 10000-20000 words of boilerplate... SO.... whatever the "house rules" are for the forum, dont expect me to have actually read them...  BUT, looking at other posts i see an ample sprinkling of four letter words used judiciously to makea point, etc..
sometimes there is just no substitute for a healthy conveyor of sense...
next topic over  "...secure wallet..."  is not offensive.. its tasteful and funny.
good to know i dont have to wear a suit and tie to be here..
i promise i wont say anything bad about
bank robbers,
perverts,
kiddie molesters,
politicians,
or squirrel worshipers, leonard lake,
or tree huggers,
and i will only hunt stuffed animals, if i have a note from my mother.
forums are bottomless pits, i expect an answer to any given question [such as how to clcik a mouse] to be forthcoming in the usual timely manner, say 5-15 years,...
so id like to see something develop which will forward the 'cause' faster than typing away at a forum.
whatever.....
btc is interesting, but i dont give a flying irish alleycat about $$$ so why should i care about btc? its just another form of [ugh..] money..
but i would like to enter into a positive forwards motion of some kind towards improvimg the functionality of the wallet, the system, the g.u.i. and the general feel of the whole thing re: the nacent btc user...
like, do you seriously see anyone using two android phones, one to generat a qr one to read it, screwing around with the wallet, the 33 cht address etc etc etc, to buy a latte?
sure.. i know you can set this whole thing up in advance,.. that is if you are computer wise.... 
i can handle it myself but i mostly just dont bother.. the average dumb blonde ?  ha!
its an interesting concept with a lot of potential, i hope to make it back here..
oh hell this is a ramble, i leave a lot, and a half a lot incomplete..
constructive criticism, tho.. id like to list everything that's 'wrong' with btc, the btc system, and the gui/wallets available.,.. then see it all improve.
well, look at microsoft, yahoo, google, bitcoin... just shows that no matter how smart programmers are they can screw anything up....
heres one .... 4 ya...
get a book on basic math, lay it on the floor.
now on top of it put a text on algebra..
on top of that place your standard calculus text.
now find an advanced calculus tome weighing [massing] at least seven pounds..
on top of that place a compendium of quantum mechanics..
next,.. the n dimensional topology..
can it go any further?... sure
to top it all off a college text on micro/macro economics will guarantee more nightmares than all the preceeding.
the point.... i have no interest in economic theory, dont want to hypothecate about btc's part in world economy etcetc, just want to make it more usefull.

i feel like by them time i read for 4 hours i will forget all of the comments/questions i wish to post

welcome to us all newbies 

A bit strict, but this is a good place to make my first post. 

To be frank,I want to say it is too strict.

Well, it took me a few days until I found that I need to start here to be able to post and reply in other sections. I need to google to find out why I cannot post

I like the restrictions, not that hard to achieve 

Thats a bit offtopic. Maybe start a new thread.
(Offtopic posting is considered a newbie thing.)

Hello,

I read something about Wordpress starting to accept Bitcoins and somehow I ended up here. I like the worldwide acceptance of the same currency.  I start to excited about Bitcoin and my other side job which is dropshipping on eBay and Amazon.  We are actually transitioning to Wordpress eCommerce site and running our own dropshipping store.  I think selling in Bitcoins will help us broad our reach.

Are there any Bitcoin Wordpress carts that are super out there?

Ciao

sorry, mistaken topic. Will move.
