Ok interested in a 51% attack on LTC people are talking about... can anyone expand or link me to a useful topic explaining what this is and why I should be aware of such threats.

Many thanks

Hitting the 4 hour online time is a bit frustrating tho.

It would be a lot less frustrating if I'd known about it beforehand - I've easily spent 4 hours reading threads here before I actually regisitered.

Hah, same here... and I really dislike the idea of encouaring wasteful posts.... just to post... but I need to follow up on a market thread... so I guess I'll make comments like this a few more times Wink

I can´t change my name cause im newbie or just nobody can?
Only Donators, VIP and mods/admins are allowed to change their own name. I would suggest you to PM theymos (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/theymos-35) as he can help you to change your name on your behalf.

Except now I have to make empty messages of content to get those 5 posts created so i can really post where i want hah...

yeah...



The restrictions are in place partly because of spammers, if you spam to get your post count up...it probably won't end well.

The timer also seems to climb more slowly than reality would dictate.

This seems restrictive however, it will weed out folks that are 1 or 2 time users.

Indeed, last few days alone I must have spent about 24 hours staring to see how the bitcoinica/Zhou Tong saga would unfold!

I understand that these restrictions are probably necessary, I have an important message to post about Coinabul in their thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50103.0;all to warn other users. However since i have to do so much legwork to get the word out, it is unlikely that less motivated users would take the time and effort to warn others or provide feedback.
