Topic: Newbie restrictions.. - page 3. (Read 3665 times)

Its to keep all the spammers out

i think this will just increase spam in this section

It's really hardcore rules.
Following subjects on others sections and can't ask questions for example 

as well.

That's strange that you're still a newbie!  You have more activity than I do!
Hmmmm, how many hours you have logged at the top of your screen?

Mine was under 3 hours before I became a Jr. Member.

I should have enough posts and enough hours but I'm still a newby.

Perhaps it's because I've not posted in the newby forums but in the Dutch ones?

Too bad these restrictions

same here

Ok this is a really strange restriction.  

I'm honestly posting in this thread just to increase my activity.

This is a strange requirement. Does logging without turning the PC on count as the number of hours logged in?

Still waiting for my approval, phooey! I ordered 2 asicminer cubes and have some questions I would like to ask before they arrive!

I am hopeful my reply in this chain will be sufficient for allowing me to post.

I love this site, and I am intrigued by Bitcoin.

I've been mining with 333 Block Eruptors for about a month, but sold them off during the rush.

I'm looking to get a TH/s miner after the new year, and really help the Bitcoin revolution!

Thanks,

This is pretty annoying!!

Pretty strict requirements

I went from "Brand New" to "Newbie" after 2 posts.  Then I went from "Newbie" to "Jr. Member" at 4 posts.  Don't know about the 4 hour limit as I've been on here much longer than that; although under Total Time logged in: 2 hours & 56 minutes!

Hmmm, so there may be something about the 4 hour limit.

Here is my first post... and so there is something meaningful:

I followed bitcoin from the early days, and did a little mining in 2011.  Unfortunately due to financial constraints (family and student loans) I did not keep my coins.   

So now I am starting over again, buying in tranches with average price of $850.  But no worries, I am confident bitcoin will reach $10,000+ someday. 

But more importantly, I am a believer in bitcoin.  I see the potential to revolutionize the world.

In the meantime, it is making my life, and life of my friends who are also expats, much easier.

I live in China, and moving changing money from $USD <-> China Yuan (RMB) is always costly nuisance, as is wire transfering money to my US bank with high fees!  Bitcoin makes this so much easier, and I can actually make a profit with each transaction (provided the price stays > 850).

As I need RMB, I sell some bitcoin on btcchina, and also benefit from the arbitrage spread -- price difference between BTC on coinbase in USD and RMB on btcchina.  The difference is narrowing but still there -- often 10%+.

It turns out foreigners can open accounts on btcchina, providing their passport #.  However you can only exchange BTC for RMB, meaning you must have a bank account in China... not difficult to do if you live here, or even visit for some period of time.

With each transaction I try to buy a little more than I sell, of course trying to time "buy low, sell high" as possible.  My goal is to accumulate > 10 coins in the next 3 to 6 months.

Best wishes to all of you, good luck, and may the BitCoin force be with you!   

did you guys figure it out yet is it 5 posts or 4 hrs?

I signed up to PM a specific member who runs a pool.  Can't contact them through the pool's site because the support form does not work.  I need to get at the transaction ID I used to send funds to Coins-E, as the funds didn't show up in my account there.  Next time I'll send to a wallet first, just in case. 

So, now I'll wait a few hours so that I can PM.
