This thread is an example of one of the benefits of the newbie restrictions.
This question has been asked hundreds of times. There is no reason to make a new thread asking it again. One of the purposes of the newbie restrictions is to limit threads like this one to one area of the board.
Ok, so I have been browsing the forum for 11 hours and 44 minutes over several logins, and am quite impressed you found time to stop and post an answer to this thread odolvlobo, the forum has a large amount of threads and when new to it a person really has no idea what behavior is expected of them while they use it (hence the newbie section), my first post was immediately deleted by a moderator, that being some time ago i have finally decided that I am done just reading and would like to be an active member of the community, with no history of using forums (per se) I do not understand the restrictions- still, after quite a bit of time on here, I understand what they accomplish and the need for them but my lack of experience has kept me from interacting because I get the idea that my account could be banned or whatever for having frivolous or repetitive post's (which I have seen all over the board), sooo can I get a little clarification? can I post the same question someone else has asked to the newbie section without hurting anyones feeling's? Is it possible for the community to build a better "how to" with "dummy's" in mind so that this thread may never be repeated? it is a good question if its coming from someone genuinely interested in Btc but confused why they have to be limited to boards where some users are asking ___ questions, I am the only person in my circle interested in Btc and who can explain what it is and the pro's to having/using it, which explains why I am impressed in a way, cause it does get old trying to help someone understand my perspective, as for the restrictions, if later I violate some rule or I offend someone, is there forgiveness on the forum, or do I have to start a new account?
