Don't listen to those haters, you're on the right track, with one of your first four posts being in Reputation.
I missed the sarcasm in your post on the first read, nutildah. Hence I looked at OP's other posts and found them, read them, and judged them. I'd say he's trying to increase his post count right now, because if you look at this post, you'll see that it's like he just picked a random thread in Bitcoin Discussion with a question title--and it was a question that didn't even apply to him:
Information is really key and having the right set of friends around you who can bring some valuable information your way.
Well, I won't say I totally missed bitcoin; I will say why I didn't catch it early is because of lack of information and not having the right set of friends around me.
Now forgive me for being rude (or don't; I don't care), but that post is complete crap. It's generic in its content; short; uninteresting; and might as well be posted in any of the dozens of threads on the first couple of pages of Bitcoin Discussion, since what he wrote doesn't fit with the topic of the thread.
OP's not going to establish a reputation, I'm afraid. At least not by being a positive contributor if he sticks around and keeps making posts like the one above. Ironically enough, he probably would create more of a name for himself if he did what you suggested, nutildah. Being loud and causing drama is a great way to become known (but it's also a great way to get negged, ignored, and/or shunned altogether).
