I find the arbitrary restrictions set on "newbies" to be mildly insulting. I also find them to be a deterrent to participation.
How is it insulting?
Maybe a quiz would be better
A Quiz on BitCoins, let's see:
Question 1:
Who made BitCoins?
1) Satoshi
2) Gorrilaz
3)I dunno
4)So painfully obvious.
Having a quiz is bad news. All of the questions would be easy to answer.
The Answer is 1, 4, and other="My miners make the bitcoins out of wasting brain cycles of my components, well kinda, they alone don't make them, but whatever"
