Topic: Newbie Restrictions compared to buying your first Bitcoin (Read 1612 times)

ive been there done that its all part of the journey, when you can post elsewhere go to the UFO post

Well I signed up for a giveaway, but it looks like all spaces are going to be taken before I am bumped up to full member.

Thanks guys for using my original post to get up the bitcoin ladder, im so happy to help, you will be a jnr members in no time

Okay, so we don't have to start a new thread for our 'first post' to count? Hopefully, this will cover all I need right here. La di dah, uh, my mind has gone blank - I can't think of anything more to write - I've got writer's block and this won't count as long enough for my first post! Arrgghhh! Alternately, it just may not be significant enough to count as my first post. Darn. How can I master this beast? All is lost.... no substantial first post for me. I know, just copy the post above me:

Here's my big substantial newbie post.

My first encounter with Bitcoin dates back to year 1849. I was a tall, slander, handsome, scrubby but most importantly of all - single - dude. I was a visionary and a forward-thinker. I discovered the "bit" part of bitcoin at an early age but it wasn't until '49 until I discovered the "coin" part.

I was 17 at the time. The first paycheck I earned from my mining gig in California was paid to me in coins. I thought to myself "coins are awesome!". That was a milestone. On that day I started collecting coins bit by bit until I got a sack full of copper. I started referring to them as "bit-by-bit coins". It was my own hard earned money. I was proud. I spent it women, booze, and chemical stimulants. It was money well spent. Since the name bit-by-bit coin was a bit awkward, I shortened it to "bitcoin". And that's the story of the original bitcoin folks.

hmm   hey all soooo I'mma stuck in the newbie cells .. been reading for days before this well at least the forum safeish from the trolls ^^

I laughed this newbie restrictions looks funny right now.

Here is the UFO coin link https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4365466

hopefully some freebies still around, the guy is cool, hovering near the moon

Im now out of the creche and fully fledged , if you want some free crypto coins go to the UFO coin post and mention me KER, HE/SHE ive you some freebies whilst stocks last. dont forget to mention me guys n girls and i will return the favor, I will find the link in 360 seconds

LOL...

I like it also, please moderator leave me here forever

It seems to start at 5 minutes, actually.

I think I'm down to just two minutes now between posts...

Whats worse than newbie status, is the 3 minute post wait time. But then the forum software thinks you double post, so you can't post what you wanted to post even after 3 minutes. It feels like hell.

That being said, I'm a jr member now, and I wasn't scared away. So I like this place, and maybe its a good deterrent.

Is part of this built on the number of posts, you think?

between us we should work it out , meanwhile just keep posting. whilst saying that I need email data bases for a social mission to help mass adoption of the crypto currencies

No, that isn't right.  I bet I've been on the site a total of 25-30 hours the past 2 days, and I've only been credited with being here 3.5 now....

I didn't mind the essay.  I don't really blog or journal so it was kind of nice to do a quick recap of how I ended up getting involved with bitcoin and crypto in general.

And welcome from a fellow n00b and longtime lurker!

Actually, I see they have an actual "rank" of "full member"...lol...I ain't up to that yet.  I had just added my own random adjective when I described myself there awhile ago.  Sorry!

My original and FIRST post threw a '360 seconds since last post' warning! Duh? It was FIRST post!

Just need to post a question about cpuminer 2.3.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 that stopped working... wait 4 hours... yawn...

You have to be active, i.e read stickies or post here. If you log out the timer stops, same if you go AFK. This what I've seen other users say.
