I don't consider myself a prominent figure here, though I've been a fixture here for longer than I ever thought I'd be, and I'll be honest:  I came strictly for the drama when I registered and generally made a spectacle out of myself.  So you could go that route and see how it turns out for you, but I think I just got lucky; I was a huge bitcoin skeptic upon said registration and spectacle-making but after a few months I was converted to a bitcoin believer (albeit a pretty ignorant one, which sadly I remain to this day).

But all that BS aside, if you want to avoid pitfalls the very least you have to do is be honest; don't scam or get caught in a lie and don't get red-tagged by a DT member for whatever reason.  And write posts that have some thought put into them such that they don't read like 99% of the crap that gets shat out in the name of signature campaigns.

How did I know OgNasty would come a-runnin' to this thread?  Well I'm going to take a big step back now, put on my sunglasses and butter up the popcorn whilst sitting on my living room lawn chair.  I haven't seen a thread this hot in a while.
