Message:: [QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3505679, member: 76194"][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]  That's why I expressed my frustrations. It became clear right away that two of the "newbies" had simply opened an account in this forum just to get a free coin, and had no history whatsoever. One of them PMd me and after reading his comments, red flags went off in my head. I got the "this coin is going to be on eBay this Saturday" vibe from him. That's why I would suggest in the future limiting the contest and or giveaways to people with at least 100+ posts and at least a month on Cointalk. And yes, I'd love it if the two recipients would share their coins with the rest of the community and give some feedback as to the coins. Not because I want any credit (I don't really care about that sort of thing) but rather for the benefit of other newbies who might learn and be inspired by seeing such threads and learn about good beginner coins to start their collecting journey. When I was first starting out, some members sent me coins. I learned a lot from them. As my collection grew, I was happy to pass them along to the next newbie in the hope they too learn something.[/QUOTE]
