Title: What's with the hats???
Post by: Chris! on March 05, 2019, 03:55:55 PM
You know what I mean. What's with the hats with people's old avatars on them? I feel like it's gone way over my head.

IIRC, madnessteat (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1894120) does that.

I found this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113854.msg49901749#msg49901749) thread (it's in Russian) where he lists some hat avatars he did for some users.

I think its related to most of the posters in the Wall Of Observers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0) thread.

I have observed many users wearing similar hat avatars in the thread.

Perhaps it was started in the middle of October 2018, from these posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg46920217#msg46920217).

That's what I thought too. When I first post there, micgoossens said:

Come more often and own an XhomerX HAT ;)

Actually it's xhomerx10 who does them.
madnessteat has been doing a couple of them lately (that I know of) but the original ones are from xhomerx10.
And yeah, they're for the guys in the WO thread.

Alright lol I guess the real question was what do they mean, if anything?
I believe this could explain it better ???

I believe that the making of the hats started from the mid-October series of posts; however, I believe that some of the hat discussion was inspired from 1) HairyMclairy's assertion that he would eat his hat (which was more than a year ago.. can't recall exactly), 2) BlindMayor (which is now seemingly channeled through Rosewater Foundation) asserting that there would be some benefits for WO participants to give up their pants to BM (which was around the time of the Bcash forkening - I believe after the forkening, perhaps?),  and of course, some ongoing playing on the clothing and hat themes with 3) Micpeep frequently posting his various bitcoin related hats (including the bear and bullhats) that seemed to had caused some envy (bitcoin related bull/bear hats were being posted by micpeep for the past 6 months or so)

Did someone promise to eat his hat if the price went below a particular level?

by the way, where is that pants guy?

he figures in the hat saga
Lol apparently BfX has said deposits / withdrawals resume tomorrow.  Unconfirmed rumor.  It’s not on their Twitter.

People seem confused and disorientated. Like they just got hit on the head with a hammer, while wearing a hat, before eating it. ::)

Something is wrong with the mayor. seems confused. too much herb?

Translation from Russian:


Where are these hats?

These caps are used in the English-language topic:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.459000

This is a famous brand of caps https://store.goorin.com/the-pointer-trucker-baseball-cap.
The proposal to use these caps on the forum came from the user micgoossens (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1067333).
I made one cap for him (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg49570877#msg49570877).

Now such caps are made by the user xhomerx10 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=120694) he liked my work. I made one such cap for user xtraelv (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=897509).

Update: To avoid offtop here, I created a separate topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113854.msg49901749#msg49901749).

So what's this? hats vs cats? Or the cats may now have these xhomerx10's hats?

Now we have. Gang of fancy hats/caps. :D (cats are being colonized by these hats - and only the licking boob will be left)

 There are a couple of vacant hats but the hats are designed to be specific to the member so I can't just give you a vacant hat.  If you want to give me an idea of what you would like by sending me a PM I will make one for you.

If you still not wearing one it probably does.....
Missed this TOPIC

But to be a privelleged one that is able to Ask a HAT from XhomerX .... yeah thats just being lucky

The man probably only give them to real bitcointalk-Users-members that our somewhat good active and proper behaving members....

Then again each time he find the TIME (not so comment for every one to do in their free time), and the creativity what i don’t get... to make a perfect sized original Unique HAT for that member....

It Maybe started as a Joke or Fun thing, but for me it has grown into something special .... i do appreciate it much of heaving ( a few HATs Made by him.... “i have more as one i guess i’m a bit of a rude customer” sorry comrade XhomerX)

I like to see his HATs have spread out of the WO threat and that they are being liked by more and more users

But Then again why not, its been Made out of someones free time to give something extra to this Nice community

And with seeing those first HATs .... where the F*** is rosewaterfoundation @??

I’ll Bet XhomerX could make Some awesome HATs for the big boys as well .... scamcatcher pharmacist, suchmoon, forum chief theymos and many more great members.......

I do like the rainbow HAT as well though its something Nice as well.... for a fork-hat :P
But as in BTC.... i’ll stay originaly tuned :D :D
