Will Someone Come With Sailor Costumes?

If that's what the community really wants, but something tells me that Best of 2011 is less about this forum and more about bitcoin. Who knows. I'm an open book.

I was thinking the same thing. I hadn't seen any complications in doing it this way but if there are any that anyone spots, please do let me know. I want this to be flawless of course.

BitTalk.TV is hosting our own awards ceremony that will be broadcast on BitTalk.TV announcing the winners. We are in no rush to hurry up and finish and for this reason we will allow a full two weeks for entries.

Since other similar contests seemed more focused on giving away bitcoins to anyone willing to participate than actually doing a good job creating a fair contest, we will focus on rewarding individuals the proper way.

To combat cheating, add value to the votes, raise money for charity, and ensure that only serious bitcoiners are participating in the contest as contestants or voters, a microtransaction to a specified bitcoin address will be necessary.

To ensure a fair contest, no members  of BitTalk Media, including myself, or any individuals directly affiliated with them may claim candidacy. Any nominations for these individuals will be ignored.

All finalists of the BitTalk.TV Best of 2011 contest in each category will:

1) be published in the BitTalk.TV magazine's January issue;
2) be broadcast in a special presentation on BitTalk.tv;
3) receive a free year subscription to the BitTalk.TV magazine (est. $30 value)
4) receive a FREE casascius coin in the mail!

The categories will be soft-listed on the official forum thread. Feel free to petition for additional categories if you believe it is appropriate.

Good luck to everyone!

All fees collected less cost of Casascius coins will be donated to the highest voted Bitcoin Charity.

I know what OP was trying to do and I truly commend them for it. Unfortunately, as could be expected  with a forum newbie trying to organize an awards ceremony based on historical data that only a veteran user would know from experience, this poll has turned out unimpressive to say the least.

Under normal circumstances I would just troll the OP, push them to correct their mistakes, and offer my assistance privately, but in this special case that the OP has refused to correct course I have decided to step up.

Feel free to continue to participate freely, but let it be known that BitTalk.TV is hosting our own awards ceremony that will be broadcast on BitTalk.TV announcing the winners. We are in no rush to hurry and for this reason we will allow a full two weeks for entries.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tong is moving around a lot right now and last time I checked he was in Australia for a few weeks. Don't expect a high school student to live on a forum.

Perhaps, might I recommend imgur.com?

Best Bitcoinica strategy = owning it.

TightVNC all the way.

Are you trying to start yet another anonymous forum?

You know that 4chan also has an anonymous text-only board right?

Bringing new meaning to a movie being based on a book.

All I can say really is that it's good to see people in the community doing something, regardless of what it is.

I'll sell you a few for $10 right now.

Yes. That is wildly varying by an entire dollar. Thank you for confirming.  

That's fucking hilarious. Bitcoin is wildly varying by an entire dollar.

Yep! That's what the market demands. Not the free one mind you, the android one.

Anti-money laundering laws would traditionally require this. This is just them finally doing what they should have been doing in the first place. That said, it's interesting to see bitcoin turning into paypal via lazy community members.
