I also vote for DannyHamilton, hilariousandco and shorena.

List updated with shorena. Everyone else is already there.

Satoshi
theymos
Sirius
Kluge
OgNasty
Vod
John (John K.)
Tomatocage
SaltySpitoon
BadBear
DiamondCardz
Blazedout419
devthedev
redsn0w
MICRO

DannyHamilton
Deathandtaxes
hilariousandco
shorena
ndnhc

i need some opinion to get you in the list ndhc
however, added you to the list .

who's else guys?
give us a name and a reason why they are deserve in the most contribute list.

[Mitchell]

My personal opinion about this list:
Satoshi - Yes.
theymos - Yes.
Sirius - Yes.
Kluge - Yes.
OgNasty - Yes.
Vod - Yes.
John (John K.) - Yes.
Tomatocage - Yes.
SaltySpitoon - Yes.
BadBear - Yes.
DiamondCardz - Kinda. I mean, I trust this guy, but really contributed like the rest on this list? I'm not sure about that. Sorry man, don't kill me.
Blazedout419 - Yes.
devthedev - Yes.
redsn0w - No, as far as I know he only did free escrow and had to close it because he fucked up badly.
MICRO - No. Active? Yes. Really contributing to Bitcointalk? Not really. He's "only" a community manager for JD or PD as far as I know.
Quickseller - Yes.
DannyHamilton - Yes.
Deathandtaxes - Yes.
hilariousandco - Yes.
shorena - Kinda.
ndnhc - No. I have no idea what this user contributed, except managing signature campaigns (which I don't really count as contributions).

I would nominate myself, but I don't really contribute either (except doing group buys and my staff duties). I would like to vote for dooglus and grue though.

im sorting all staff and mods now, so dont worry i will update the list asap

[qwk]

Also, I miss laszlo on the list.
Along with the scammers, it was epic threads like the 10.000 BTC pizza that made bitcointalk what it is today.

[hilariousandco]

I appreciate the votes but I've never really been a fan of popularity contests as I have stated a couple of times before. I think there are many people who contribute great things to the forum in various and differing ways and with their own levels of expertise, but I think most people here at least contribute something to the community. If it wasn't for the massive userbase comprising of all sorts of people (from good to bad) this forum wouldn't be what it is today. I think theymos and Badbear have had a big part to play in that as well and I definitely think the way they chose to run the forum is for the best and I'm really glad we haven't got a couple of tiny tyrants in charge that will just delete or ban anyone that says something they don't like. Sure, being so lax with certain things regarding moderation can have its drawbacks but so does strictly policing a forum and removing anything that might vaguely offend someone and I think giving people as much freedom as possible to make their own choices and judgement is the best way to go.

[cbeast]

I miss pirateat40 on that list.
I mean, come on, where'd bitcointalk be without its legendary scammers?

And what about the trolls? Oh yeah, they are on "The List" elsewhere. 

[ndnh]

Oh, lol, I am aware that all I did is manage some campaigns, and may be find some bugs in some sites.
Didn't know you were going to take that seriously.
Satoshi is the guy whose contribution made the most solid change. How about some kind of classification, that listing everything together?
like we are actually putting everyone from the founder, admins to the scambusters and escrows together.

Okay, new updated list.


--snip--


Edit: Wait... My name got added to OP?? LOL

Edit2: I'd say remove the bold instead of using default color. DiamondCardz, redsn0w, MICRO and my names are standing out instead. OP can remove mine, didn't intend it to be taken seriously.

[gurbar_nakub]

woaaaaw I just know that thread, impressive thing if that happened today.
so you are nominate laszlo on the list? with his legendary thread?

i know something like this always hard to be accurate, but at least we can gather here and talk , exchange opinions regarding who most contributed , along with ​​opinions each.

I miss pirateat40 on that list.

And what about the trolls? Oh yeah, they are on "The List" elsewhere.  

yeah sir maybe in the most troll thread list elsewhere

DiamondCardz

Yay.

DiamondCardz

Yay.

In all seriousness this is a hard thing to properly answer though. What do you define as the top contributor to Bitcointalk? The person who moderates the most? The person who deals with scammers the most? The person who posts the most - or a mixture of everything?

i'm wondering about the most contribute in overall.

Oh, lol, I am aware that all I did is manage some campaigns, and may be find some bugs in some sites.

i just need more opinion and vouch to get default color into green color ndhc
yeah i think we are talking about the overall contribution, that's why added you on the list.

[ajrah]

Please add mprep and the trustees / community council members to the list.

[Amph]

i want to add a guy that no one know about, but it's very helpful, and remind me of satoshi

johoe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=143551

[gurbar_nakub]

Please add mprep and the trustees / community council members to the list.

added! thanks for your suggestion ajrah.
more suggestion are welcome

i want to add a guy that no one know about, but it's very helpful, and remind me of satoshi

johoe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=143551

nahhhh! i can see the reason
i may missed so many real contributor.
the suggestions like this needed to make the list more reasonable.

[Quickseller]

I think it might be a good idea to more clearly define "the most contributed" as the people on the list have contributed to the forum in very diverse ways and it will be very difficult to compare how much one person contributed verses another.

[Muhammed Zakir]

Well, if everyone is suggesting...

Sadly, I could not see Maged in these lists. Is it because he is inactive these days?

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I'm pretty close to 100% certain that ndnhc is very, very trustworthy. I have no reputation here, I'm just a guy invested in bitcoin, learning every day & enjoying this place but ndnhc is possibly the nicest, kindest, most helpful person I've ever interacted with on here.

Once again my opinion means nothing but I thought I'd give it any way.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

i want to add a guy that no one know about, but it's very helpful, and remind me of satoshi

johoe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=143551

Oh yes of course! johoe deserves to be on the list more than most. He saved many, many people from getting bitcoins stolen during the re-used R value blockchain.info value.
He should be one of the most respected members here after that, he's kind of a bitcointalk hero.

He swept the wallets of vulnerable addresses to stop scammers & thieves doing it. He then returned every single satoshi.

[sukamasoto]

I'm vote Danny Hammilton ( his explanation for every Q is magnificent)
also M.Zakir , bitcoininformation aka mitchell  , hilariousandco and shorena.

Pekka loves you guys

[Ruzka]

Giving my opinion,

I will say who I believe has contributed the most to the forum imo who done it because they wanted to and not part of a job description.

Quickseller for in his short time using that account he has surly helped many people on this forum from stopping scams to helping anyone who may need help and providing Escrow. Hat of to that member.

Vod for similar reasons as stated above.

shorena for being very helpful in most posts I see from that user and helps people understand who may not have without the help.

There are to many to list but these are the guys that jump out to me.

Of course Satoshi!

That's true but... OP is talking about most contributed people/person to the "forum". Like QS said, a clear definition for "the most contributed" is needed.

Oh yes of course! johoe deserves to be on the list more than most. He saved many, many people from getting bitcoins stolen during the re-used R value blockchain.info value.

R values are not Blockchain.info values. R value is a value in signature of a transaction. See http://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/9695.

[DiamondCardz]

DiamondCardz - Kinda. I mean, I trust this guy, but really contributed like the rest on this list? I'm not sure about that. Sorry man, don't kill me.

* DiamondCardz stabs Mitchell

In all fairness I have been off Bitcointalk for the past month or so due to a lot of things. Moving back into it now though. Anyone who watches my posting history will note that I've had a decent amount of hiatuses throughout my time here
