The current requirements to get out of the newbie section aren't all that hard. I joined 7 minutes ago and have 3 posts already. Wow, so difficult I don't think it's worth it...

A test to get out of newbie status would be entirely counter-productive. The point of newbie status is to:
- Create an unavoidable cost associated with creating an account. If you're banned, you've got to do some work to be able to post in regular sections again.
- Contain most spammers and trolls so that their posts can be seen more easily.

A test has no cost for trolls, spammers, and banned users. It has a cost only for legitimate new users, who are exactly the people I want to enter the main forum.

So if you are new user, u have to do same job as banned user to get new acc? That is pointless and just scares away new users who are exactly the people u want to enter the main forum.
Does not compute.


Me neither, what job? Hanging out for a couple of days in the newbie section and saying hello to a few people before you're allowed to enter the main site?

Test question 1: Explain pool hopping.
Test question 2: Choose one of
                        a. Why is there so much hate for Atlas?
                        b. Why is there so much hate for Bruce Wagner?

Google the answers and you'll still have some learning to do.

What about this test (or an easier one) at signup, if possible? That should block most bots.

Bots are already effectively blocked unless they have manual help.

Second answer is incorrect.
The name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is believed to be a pseudonym.
Also added couple of new questions

3. How to log into bitcoin account?

4. How much crypto keys your wallet.dat contains?

Please post your answers here.


Okay, I'm baffled. If both of this questions were in place when I signed out here, I would still be a newbie.  Cry

users/app data/roaming/bitcoin/wallet.dat

You have to make sure you have hidden folders/files unchecked in your folders options in order to find your app data folder.

Yeah he ruined it pretty good, I don't think anybody else would've thought to google it.

Sadly and surprisingly, many people ask stupid questions all the time without doing what they should always do first when they have a question..goooogle!

I get what youre saying tho
