The only problem with the policy is that some of us are well-read on the subject of Bitcoin (like me) and I'd like to reply to the things I read in the other threads. But I can only post my 5 first posts in this newbie-section, so I need to just reply to the issues here (which are not so interesting all the time) - I gather replies also counts as posts? What I mean is, it's almost like spam to be posting 5 posts here just to be approved. I've got almost 7 hours logged in and have also read at least as much when not logged in just being linked from twitter et. al. And I use lots of other sources to read up on btc.

So to add something substantial to this post (and get started with the count): I've made phone calls to politicians, the central bank, the auditing authorities and a few business banks in the country I'm posting from. I also spoke to the foreign minister on the subject - and none of them had heard of the currency. This is 1. bad (for them). 2 good (it shows the almost insane potential the currency has - it's already at 100 MUSD - yet "no one" has heard of it.

Seems like a good policy to keep out the spammers   Tongue

Yeah, but unfortunately the spammers are on higher status not on the Newbies, LOL,  Cheesy

Already has 18 post, yet still a Newbie Sad

I guess you will be a newbie until you have 50 posts.

I doubt it, you only have 25 posts today and you already are a Jr. Member. Look, they changed my stat, someone heard my tiny voice Grin

Yeah this makes a lot of sense as to why I couldn't send messages

I'm at 5 posts now, guess I need more online time.

You can see your online time when in "profile" click "Show general statistics for this member."

Cool, thanks!

yes and no, i don't disagree there needs to be some sort of restriction, but I've been reading the forums without registering for ages, finally decided i had some thing constructive to say, which will now be obsolete by the time i get there.

Maybe another way to be able to post without the full wait times would be by "verification" or sponsorship from an existing member 
Same for me. Read a lot, wanted to reply and found the restriction. Ah well, I guess banning trollers took to much time.

5 posts and 4 hours is a good level to ensure people are reasonable.

with BTCGuild and deepbit getting DDOS, does that mean difficulty should be going down because of less total hash power?

Actually, I was hoping that you could help me set-up CPU mining on my computer for a pool like Slush's or some others? Someone that does GPU mining told me earlier that my laptop can not GPU mine, but I can CPU mine. I just don't know how to set it up. I have GUIMiner on my laptop, ready to go. It always says connecting. . .  and nothing more. IDK what i'm doing wrong.

I dont know much about CPU mininig.
One of my comp is intel i3 procesor, and only ~2285 khash/s with bitcoin.
Second is intel dual core ~2000 khash/s with bitcoin.

6850 card, works 100 times faster.

Hi there. Are you currently mining? If so, can I ask how you mine? CPU or GPU?

Yes and post my specification there if you interested:
