Title: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: deepceleron on January 22, 2014, 02:16:14 PM I award a http://peopleandplanet.org/cms_graphics/img1279_size1.png to Vitalik Buterin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=7314) (author: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/author/vitalik-buterin/). He may have been 14 at the time of the genesis block, but it is sufficient to say if he says something about Bitcoin, it is probably correct.
I'm not a member of the illuminati that can hand out forum icons though. Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: deepceleron on January 22, 2014, 02:25:40 PM The feature was added, and a few people were given the icon, and then it was never addressed again...
Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: qwk on January 22, 2014, 03:14:45 PM I award a http://peopleandplanet.org/cms_graphics/img1279_size1.png to Vitalik Buterin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=7314) (author: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/author/vitalik-buterin/). He may have been 14 at the time of the genesis block, but it is sufficient to say if he says something about Bitcoin, it is probably correct. I'm not a member of the illuminati that can hand out forum icons though. Here's an (incomplete) list of Bitcoin experts I found so far (in no particular order): Sergio_Demian_Lerner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24826) Mike Hearn (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2700) Hal (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2436) theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35) Peter Todd (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2546) ByteCoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=490) MagicalTux (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2134) Meni Rosenfeld (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=5776) Luke-Jr (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3318) genjix (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1931) piuk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17928) You'll probably miss a s***load of names on that list whom you'd consider an expert. E.g. I just noticed that adam3us (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=101601) is not an expert. I mean, seriously? With theymos being in charge of a completely deliberately chosen list (and also probably being lazy), you can't expect it to be complete or make sense ::) BTW: gmaxwell, jgarzik, wumpus, Pieter Wuille, Gavin Andresen are just lowly "core developers", not even experts ;D This only appears in the Dev & Tech section. Some users have additional icons and text below the coins. For example theymos: "Bitcoin expert" It's just hover text, right? Who determines who is a Bitcoin expert? I do. Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: malevolent on January 22, 2014, 03:26:26 PM I award a http://peopleandplanet.org/cms_graphics/img1279_size1.png to Vitalik Buterin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=7314) (author: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/author/vitalik-buterin/). He may have been 14 at the time of the genesis block, but it is sufficient to say if he says something about Bitcoin, it is probably correct. I'm not a member of the illuminati that can hand out forum icons though. I added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges:
A core dev does not "outrank" a bitcoin expert (or vice-versa), and it's possible for someone without a badge to contribute meaningfully to a discussion with experts and core devs. Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: Peter Todd on January 23, 2014, 06:05:02 AM I wholeheartedly recommend that adam3us be added to the Bitcoin expert list.
Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: qwk on January 24, 2014, 08:53:35 PM I wholeheartedly recommend that adam3us be added to the Bitcoin expert list.

See if you can find them all. :) Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: qwk on January 25, 2014, 06:26:38 PM You're missing 3, though some of them post very rarely in Dev&Tech. See if you can find them all. :) A challenge 8)Unfortunately, I only managed to find 2 :'( Matt Corallo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4528) forrestv (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=6447) My search algorithm "search threads that were started by other Bitcoin Experts or Core Developers" turned out to be quite effective, but I had to give up after a while. Now please, who's number 3? Curiosity will kill this cat if you don't tell ::) On a side note, two suggestions: casascius & Diapolo. Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: qwk on January 25, 2014, 06:46:21 PM Bitcoin Expert Fun Fact:
forrestv (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=6447) hardly ever leaves the pool (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=41.0). https://st2.depositphotos.com/1583598/11697/i/950/depositphotos_116977438-stock-photo-woman-in-big-hat-lying.jpg There are only 4 posts in 2 threads where you can actually spot his Expert Badge: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46538.msg595940#msg595940 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39088.msg478130#msg478130 Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: illdeletethis on January 25, 2014, 09:16:47 PM would Andreas Antonopoulos count as an expert?
Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: theymos on January 26, 2014, 03:01:38 AM Now please, who's number 3? Curiosity will kill this cat if you don't tell ::) dacoinminster. He posts in Dev&Tech very rarely (though not as rarely as forrestv, actually), so I'm not surprised that you didn't find him. Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: makveezy on October 23, 2017, 02:04:18 AM IS THERE AN UPDATED LIST OF EXPERTS & DEV BADGE MEMBERS?
Title: Re: Bitcoin Expert status Post by: qwk on July 05, 2018, 11:30:44 AM Just noticed that achow101 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=290195), formerly known as knightdk(?) is an expert.
About time for a new list ::) |
