This is a hard one if we are only talking about merits earned and their trust score Rikafip will be winning this award with a mile ahead against geophphreigh, zasad@, and efialtis. zasad@ even though has a higher merit compared to Rikafip he is a more trusted member and even if geophphreigh is more trusted Rikafip has more merits compared to him so really Rikafip has the advantage in both of them. This might be two of the biggest factors that would say who will be winning this award. So @OP and for any other members reading this, aside from merits and trust scores what other factors should we try to consider in order to know if other newbie members here can stand a chance against Rikafip?

Thank you @Harlot for the nice words and those who  nominated me, but in my opinion @Ratimov is the one who is the most deserving member in this contest, and the one i gave my vote ( i only used one).

There are few other candidates that i recognise like @efialtis, @zasada and @PopoJeff that are without doubt quality members but in my opinion @Ratimov really stands out. In this short period of time as a member of this forum, he managed to achieve few feats:
-reaching DT1 meaning he is trusted by other members of this forum
-crazy amount of 12500+ reported posts, that shows dedication and incredible amount of time invested in this forum
-800+ merits in 8 months means  quality

All in all, for me there is no doubt, and congrats to rest of the nominees.

Ratimov and zasad@ are each trusted by eigh plus eachother.

Taking those eight away, Ratimov has nine people trusting him, zasad@ two, geophphreigh two also, Rikafip five people trust him, and finally efialtis also on two, so my top three are Ratimov, zasad@ and Rikafip.

Ratimov and zasad@ are both distrusted by the same three people, so Ratimov is distrusted by eleven, while zasad@ and Rikafilp one a piece.



To me Ratimov is a clear stand out - you can't get ahead in life without upsetting a few people along the way.

I'm leaning towards Rikaflip because he has five trust Vs one distrust (discounting those who distrust both Ratimov etc in my analysis above).

Also unlike the other two stand outs, Rikafikp isn't playing the trust game:

Rikafip Trusts these users' judgement:

My two votes therefore are Ratimov and Rikaflip.

Congratulations to all the others nominated.

To me Ratimov is a clear stand out - you can't get ahead in life without upsetting a few people along the way.
That's who I voted for, as he's the only newbie I'm even remotely familiar with.  I'm not sure I've even seen any posts from the rest of the nominees, though it's entirely possible I've forgotten since I read so many posts here. 

And yeah, I'm being lazy and not poring through post histories and all that, but this isn't exactly the contest of the century we're talking about.  Who knows where any of these newbies will be in a year or two.

I'm not sure if it's the done thing to outright ask the approx. 3 DT1 regulars who ~exclude some of the contestants why they do so, or to ask them to pm me with the expectation of confidentiality about it if they don't want to colour the voting here.

Voted for Ratimov. Just simple reason: look at "the number of his merits and total posts". He has the highest merits and total posts among nominees right now. It indicates he has done more contributions to the forum.  ;)

Voted for Rikafip since I know his active on the Scam accusations and Reputation board and for the second option I rooted for zasad@ because he has the second merit received from all the nominees, not that I know of him but he's quite the popular one because of the merit he received, I'm just rooting he'll be selected.

I expected their to be a lot larger list compiled of valuable 2019 newbies than this but I guess they are more rare than some of us thought..
I "nominated" PopoJeff because it's the only new account I could think of that seemed like a legit user off the top of my head.. I didn't look into merit data or anything like that..

It is quite outstanding what the top nominees here, Ratimov and Rikafip, have been able to accomplish here in only around 6 months..
Has anyone asked them if they have ever posted on Bitcointalk prior to 2019?

I'll cast my vote eventually..

[Trust lists]

I'm not convinced their trust lists are all that relevant to how they have contributed to the forum, this would be more relevant to a most trusted newbie of the year award.

This may help a bit (or not):

This helps thanks, highlighting their merited posts helps to understand what they have contributed to the forum.

I voted for Ratimov, I like the speculative charts posted and received the the most merit. Fair play.

Ratimov and zasad@ are both distrusted by the same three people, so Ratimov is distrusted by eleven, while zasad@ and Rikafilp one a piece.



To me Ratimov is a clear stand out - you can't get ahead in life without upsetting a few people along the way.

I'm leaning towards Rikaflip because he has five trust Vs one distrust (discounting those who distrust both Ratimov etc in my analysis above).

Also unlike the other two stand outs, Rikafikp isn't playing the trust game:

My two votes therefore are Ratimov and Rikaflip.

Congratulations to all the others nominated.

I'm not sure if it's the done thing to outright ask the approx. 3 DT1 regulars who ~exclude some of the contestants why they do so, or to ask them to pm me with the expectation of confidentiality about it if they don't want to colour the voting here.

I only see one DT1 member excluding one of the contestants, unless I missed something.  I think I understand the reasoning behind that one, but I'll let the parties involved address it if they wish.


I expected their to be a lot larger list compiled of valuable 2019 newbies than this but I guess they are more rare than some of us thought..

I expected more nominations also, and I spent a fair amount of time looking.  It's slow going when I have to translate posts and find that they are still difficult to comprehend.  I was hoping that more of the senior members from the local boards would participate.


I have a creepy mod stalking me and deleting my posts, this is yet another one:

It looks like the deleted post was merged with the one proceeding it.

Quote from: Bitcoin Forum

[mod note: post broke either rule 21 or 32 from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) and thus has been merged with the first one in a row]

But that doesn't mean your avatars are not being stalked.  :-*

I have voted for efialtis because I know him best from all nominees. He is a great guy, and I'm surprised that he joined just in 2019, I thought he was here for longer time already. And seems that it didn't long time to build his account. He active in Deutsch and gambling boards, and providing translations and campaign management services.

Woah :o I didn't know that there's a kinda POLL like here, well this serves as an inspiration and motivation to other newbies to be more active and to continue contributing quality posts.

My selection starts with elimination. Well, just by looking and comparing their current stats (Merits earned and trust scores): geophphreigh won the trust with 6 of green while Ratimov gaining the highest merit so far with 5 green trust.

So I'm casting my vote for Ratimov...

Still, congratulations to all nominees...

All members in the list deserves the nomination of newbie of the year 2019 because of their good attempts in various ways but the one who impressed me more that's Ratimov his dedication to participate in bounties look brilliant to me.

After four days I'm actually surprised the way the voting is going, but never-the-less everyone's done well to get where they are today.
I had that feeling too. In a poll, one would need for the voters to be rather diverse in nature. That is part of the key to generating meaningful results, and avoid skewed results based on largish group affinities and such (*). Maybe I’m missing something.
 

(*) For example, taking a leap in context here, a recent survey referenced on my local board stated that 7,5 M people in Spain own Bitcoin (16% of the total population). That, to me, seems overly cooked, the questionable base being that the survey was done to ING banking clients, who obviously have a technological skew (as opposed to having done the survey in a grocery store).

I voted for Ratimov. A very active young user of our forum. I had a disagreement with him in the beginning because of his way of searching for multi accounts. I thought innocent users might get hurt. Then we came to a consensus. He spends a lot of time on the forum, manages to find scammers and make useful translations for our locale. I admire his ability to work.

I don't think you're missing anything, and I tend to agree.  Meta does attract a focused group, but the results suggest that many users who focus on trading and collectibles are participating.  I expected more votes for the users with technical abilities, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Hey together,

I wanted to take the chance and express my sincere gratitude for being nominated "Bitcoin Forum´s Newbie of the Year" - you know, back in my gaming days, we were using "newb" more to flame people with low skills but thats just a random side note. :D

I am not posting this hoping to collect some more votes - actually my chances are 0 by now anyways...  :D No, seriously now - I couldnt care less if I win this or not. What matters to me is the fact that some people must have acknowledged my efforts trying to contribute as much as I can and this even makes me a little proud to be honest.

I registered only in May 19 and believe it or not - I have never been the person to use forums and certainly not the person to be active on a forum. Well, all that changed when I signed up here on bitcointalk - obviously, the counter above is showing 72 days, 6 hours and 57 minutes as total time logged in, lol. Sometimes I forget that I have only been around for about 8-9 months... Talking about activity, by now I earned enough of "those" Merits ("those" due to the fact, that in one of my very first posts I expressed how lame people in this forum are because of merits  :D) for Hero rank, just crazy. Oh and NO, I havent opened a thread and I wont open one describing my so called journey from zero to hero. ;)

Just like everybody else I needed some time but I have learned so much over the last months, its incredible - and whats even more important, much more important - I really got to know some people I would love to meet in real life one day and who have just been great.

Okay, let me end this here - I only wanted to write one sentence at first, dont wanna bore you guys. :D Some special thanks go out to my fellow German & Greek guys and of course to DireWolfM14 for nominating and just supporting/helping me.

Keep it up guys, happy to be here and last but not least: Thumbs up to the rest of the nominees, you deserve this.

Aww shucks.  I'm honored gang.   I've only been here since Aug iirc, so let me tell you about myself, so you get to know me a little better.

You can refer to me as Bachelor #3.  I like candle-lit dinners overlooking the bay, long romantic walks on the beach, and snuggling up with that special someone in front of a roaring fireplace on the bearskin rug.  I consider myself a hopeless romantic, and if you pick me, I'll definitely show you a great time. .

Just kidding, but that gives you an idea of how old I am if you understood where that came from.

I have a full time job, and trade stocks in my free time, so I don't get in to the forum to visit on a regular basis.  Started mining btc in Aug as a boost to my retirement in 7 years, so I try to keep up with the mining section of the forum.

But seriously, thanks for the recognition.

But seriously, thanks for the recognition.  

That's why I nominated you..
I nominated you because you were the only new account that came to my mind who was just a believable real guy, participating on this forum casually, and have value to add..
Not overly/suspiciously ambitious to gain a reputation, merit, activity, rank, or trust here.. Just doing your thing..

And this post by you I was like "Ha ha I like this guy"...
I'm a suburban cop. I have sworn to uphold the Constitution.  I will not take guns away from my citizens. And I will not surrender my personal collection of guns.

So yeah.. You're a cool newbie to me here and I hope you post more.. Keep coming back!


p.s.
All evidence would indicate that PopoJeff didn't even realize his name was brought up at all untill I PMd him...

Did you notice I nominated you for newbie of the year? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5222643.0

lol

The guy probably doesn't even read the drama boards.. And that's badass IMO for a valuable newb..

You are correct, I didn't know til you PM'd.  I stick to the mining section because that's what I do. I do visit the politics section once in a while to throw some old school common sense around.  
But I've found the mining section very useful and helpful for information. And I'll post anything I discover in there to add to the shared wealth of knowledge.

  I work full time, and trade stocks and btc in my free time.  Btc is just one of the many things I trade, so I give it as much attention as I do any single stock when I'm planning a trade. Well, maybe a bit more with the mining thing.
   

But who would've thought a 47 year old government employee would be investing in bitcoin. That's one more step towards mass adoption, some of us fudds are finally seeing its value.

The heart on this guy...
I was going to write up a big congratulatory block of a post but my nomination and geophphreigh's gesture after winning speak louder than anything I can say here.

The Collectibles board is quite a unique space on this forum. I could argue that MANY of the well known aliases on the forum would never be able to meetup or connect their real name/face to their alias in fear of meeting up with somebody they may have "wronged" in their time here. The community we have in the Collectibles board is quite special in that we are active at conferences, exhibits, and local meetups. It is pretty special and I am very happy to be a part of it. Thank god none of the WO newbies were nominated ;)

Congratulations on your win geophphreigh, well deserved.
