Activity != posts. I would love to hide these stats next to my posts by the way.
I judged you based on what and how you posted here. Also your forum title as of writing this actually IS "Newbie". Enjoy your amazing ubuntu machine, Linux skills and fantastical amount of BTC that you mined far earlier than me.
Hm.. This is the real newbie answer. Biased because of entrance time, and board status..
I mine Bitcoins yes, for years now. Yes, I CPU mined them also. No, I did not buy a pizza back then.
But whatever amount, there was very little converted to fiat. So I ain't no fat cat like some, right?
And yeah, some of my systems run Linux, some don't.
How I stepped in? Well, I didn't expect a closed community like some of the newsgroups, and I certainly did not expect a post score based status thing. Some seem to need that. Like with reference codes in their .sig.. I didn't see that either.
So I simply asked stuff I didn't know, right?
I don't even know whether there is a propagation system for bad nodes. Should be if not
Even though it leaves me dead now. Ah, f*ck this.
