Bitcoin Forum

Is it a member of staff? Perhaps it is Satoshi, or one of the core developers/contributors to Bitcoin and its community. Maybe it is somebody who has been consistently helpful and informative, or maybe it is somebody who simply makes you laugh.

If you have more than one member that you would like to mention then go ahead. I don't plan to collate and publish the results, it's more of an acknowledgement of those who have contributed and/or continue to make the forum an enjoyable experience.

Let's keep this positive, focus only on those who bring good to the Bitcointalk community :)

I'll get the ball rolling: my favourite member is DannyHamilton. I find myself nodding in agreeance with everything he says, plus I've learned a lot from his consistently informative posts.

Note to all: This is a self-moderated topic so please no abuse or off-topic responses else they may be deleted.

Im gonna have to say Phineas Gage .. he is always making smartass remarks and also giving useful information!

I believe this thread should be in Meta.

I like Tomatocage because he deals with the shit job of banning scammers.   I wish more people had the ability to ban scammers on this forum.  Thanks Tomatocage for watching out for some people and dealing with the shit scum of this forum.
Scammers... go F☆#♧/*& yourselves.

I'd say Vod but he's a bitch often

hahaha lol i wonder how he is gonna respond to that

PG, Vod, and Dank. They all make my day in different ways. PG is great at proving people wrong, and trolling them at the same time. Vod is like the ghost busters for scammers, and, jeez. Some of his posts are funny, like PG's and Dank's. And Dank is just... One of the biggest trolls on the site. Especially to people like Newbies, or don't know what he did.

Depends which subforum we're talking about. They're all like their own biomes.

I can't really say I've got a favourite, but DannyHamilton's posts are always informative and in depth and he helps out a lot of newbs.


Really? I thought it'd be an off-topic thread. It's more of a popularity contest than a discussion about anything to do with the actual forum and its workings.

For me its this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=224 because of his immense contribution towards the development of BTCitcoin both as a currency and a technology.

Thank you sir!

Lucif / Masterluc. i learned so much from watching this guy's analysis on BTC/USD in the Speculation forum. helped me grow from being a lazy losing trader to a rigorous profitable trader. :)  we are very lucky that he shares with us for free in Speculation! :)

FYI just to give context to Cyrus's post, I had originally posted the topic in Bitcoin Discussion, mostly because it was related to the Bitcoin Community.

Cyrus is right that it does relate to the forum, so Meta might seem like an option, but having reviewed it after seeing a similarly themed post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199415.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199415.0)) I decided that Off-Topic would be the best option.

Keep those votes coming in. I won't be collating and publishing any results or anything, just interesting to share thoughts and give credit to those where it is due.

can't say i have a favorite, but i think after spending some time with certain people, you can get a feel for how you'd get along if it were in real life, and there are a few people i think i would get along with.

Yeah, this is more off-topic than Meta and definitely not Bitcoin Discussion. Though I'm sure a mod will move it if it's in the wrong place.


I hope I'm one of them haha  8).

Got to be our old friend Goat. He's simply the best.

No one loves me :(

yeah, pirate40 used to be cool, before the whole scam thing.

Goat was a bit weird.

Ognasty was pretty cool back in the day.

Not sure who else was pretty awesome to me? Meh.

My Favorite member is : Anonymous

Because he started many interensting threads, become rich being an early adopter, and then disappeared without notice.  ;D

Are you sure Anonymous isn't just several accounts of many deleted users or something? (unless you mean someone else).

Goat "a bit weird" bit of a nice way to put it. I think he's crazy and brings entertainment to everyone.

dudes exposes are hella entertaining

ME! HAHA! I'm actually surprised no-one beat me to it.  :P

I beat myself to it...

Damn, that's funny! I came back to edit my post with a serious entry, but I had to quote you instead.

Ok, seriously? I'll say Kluge, 'cuz he's helpful and funny.

Satoshi and his quotes...

"Dec. 12, 2010: We should have a gentleman’s agreement to postpone the GPU arms race as long as we can for the good of the network. It’s much easer to get new users up to speed if they don’t have to worry about GPU drivers and compatibility. It’s nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now."

All I have to say is ooooops!

my favourite bitcointalk member is snaildvorak
because he's my boyfriend

my favorite is gmaxwell
i love his posts about crypto and his ideas

Kluge for me

satoshi, without a doubt :P
