I don't roam around in the forum a lot, so i can only admire these people in the forum.

yahoo62278 and Hhampuz for being the best campaign managers in the forum.

Just want to say thanks to krogothmanhattan and his Daily Free Raffle.

This person turned this free raffles as a daily work (dont forget that the coins is send worldwide for free). So far it is given away 431 coins, that means more than a year of daily raffle work 

Cant wait for krogothmanhattan to become legendary forum member. I'm sure that this day he/she will create something special for raffle.

I gotta review the journey here. It was great experience for me joining on the forum; otherwise, I couldn't learn wide variety of technical stuffs on bitcoin & cryptocurrencies. I would like to thank everyone who helped me learning all these things.

Let me name the people who have helped me time to time with their experience & knowledge.

bob123- bob is a great member of the forum; always try to help people with his technical knowledge. At the beginning of my forum journey, I have learnt a lot from him. He used to point out my mistake (of course others as well).
BitCryptex- Another great user, helped me a lot when I was learning about Lightning Network.
LoyceV- Cool guy. Share merit everyone who deserve. I have been merited by him numerous times. He is very much helpful to the newbie.
Ddmrddmr- He had handed out the first merit here. Sometimes, it seems he used to hunt good quality post to merit.
TMAN- Very much generous in handing out merit. Gave me 43 once.
theymos- Very much responsive even though he is the lord admin. Once I had to PM him for some reason and he had answered that after 2 days probably (I thought he will never  )

And many more including TryNinja; because 

> sees Hhampuz thread;
> not mentioned;
> sees fillipone thread;
> still not mentioned.

RIP TryNinja (2015 - 2019).

[Rosilito]

Not so much people for me to thank about. These people are genuinely hardworking and I highly appreciated their works, and passion.

Here's the list:
  

• yahoo62278 - the first manager I've been working with and all of it did go well.
• cabalism13 - on his passion of helping less fortunate people specially kids, he did work with sincerity.
• crwth - same as cabalism13 which made Bitcointalk Charity Program a successful program.
• Dabs - though he's not our local moderator anymore but he has been a good listener in our local. And as well to his Feed Some Children program though it is quite a long time ago but I still want to thank him for helping those children.
• Lastly to my friends who introduced me to this forum, highly appreciated pals!

P.S - Might be a lot of people helping out there... so thanks and continue helping those who are in need.

[ShowOff]

Did you forget someone who has taken us this far to find out about bitcoin and the bitcointalk.org forum?

I think Satoshi really is worth mentioning, because we are here with various ranking, differences of opinion, and because of that we also know something that we have never known before.

Yes, Satoshi Nakamoto

[Yamifoud]

I was inspired by these two great campaign managers...

yahoo62278 and Hhampuz - for the huge numbers of their participants but still they could manage it and actually, I'm one of them.

@ LoyceV- for the trust list reviews
Of course, @theymos - who certainly maintaining the quality of the forum.

A lot of aspiring individuals here but I don't think I should need to mention everyone. They build their good reputation already even they aren't recognized by someone and that is the most important.

[Aveatrex]

First time doing this sort of thing don't judge me too hard plis  

Here's my short list:

• TryNinja: Like someone said earlier,he's very helpful and actually helped me recover once about 0.1BTC stuck on buggy Samourai Wallet.Thank you
• Halab: Very good moderator,keeping the french board clean and enjoyable.Thank you for your hard work.
• 1miau: Friendly and prompt, he assisted me during the process of flagging TerraGreen
• xtraelv:His history threads are so interesting and informative
• julerz12 and Untold: Both designed for me a free logo, julerz is a great campaign manager too!
• yahoo62278 : One of the best campaign managers in the forum,prompt and always tries to do what is right.

[Russlenat]

There's a lot of people I admire in the forum.

outside our local, I have LoyceV, DarkStar_, yahoo62278 and Hhampuz ..

in our local... I admire the contribution of asu, harizen, inthelongrun, and mirakal

yahoo62278 and Hhampuz  are my inspiration to try my journey to campaign management.

[cryptoaddictchie]

2019 was indeed a fruitful year for me and a wake up call to be more active in forum. I'm able to visualize some members here that really contributed to the benefit of the forum.

All Staff moderators clearly did a good job supervising their assigned sections. No need to mentioned their names.

Also, Theymos which really keep this forum neat and clean
and  always do fair judgement in many ways to keep discussion as appropriate as possible.

LoyceV, SuchMoon, The Pharmacist, DdmrDdmr for being nice and always put discussion on the same page and not bias on their opinion. Very worthy mentioning.

Also Tranthidungwho always input some update on the Meta section of useful graphs and statistics.

For tk808 who always there to oversee the Alternate Altcoin Discussion and giving useful info on this section. Also to CryptoprenuerBrainBoss for being active on this section too.

For Hhampuz,  yahoo62278 and CoolCryptovator for providing legit and good bounty campaigns.

And also for Fillippone giving this chance to share his thought on some members who help and contribute a lot on this forum.

Last but not the least Satoshi for being the sole reason why this forum become a good ground for knowledge about bitcoin.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Wow what a wonderful year 2019 has been, i registered on the forum in 2017 and was somehow inactive and when I'm active I wasn't as productive as I'm currently. Late 2018 I encountered my savior so my story on this forum will never be complete without mentioning the almighty LoyceV.

Here's my list;

• LoyceV, this was the user that turned me from a net negative forum user to who I'm today, he help me get a fresh start and encourage me into contributing positively to the forom
• suchmoon, he was the user that single handedly ranked me up to full member with been my biggest merit fans, his meriting gave me another reason to improve on myself since the best meriter was keeping an eye on me.
• Hhampuz, the best campaign manager I have ever worked with, such a great guy. After working with him few days after I turned full member, there hasn't been an open slot that I'm interested in that haven't been mine considering I was quick and qualified for the position. His timing was so perfect that he pays me back them, first thing in the morning (just imagine waking up to a credit alert) that was how he made me feel on every payday morning such a wonderful guy.
• LFC_Bitcoin, he was the first user that trusted my judgement but now over 9+ users now trust my feedbacks, he included me on his custom trust list, made me a DT member for months without me not knowing until months later which then encourage me to continue hunting down the untrustworthy users on the forum, right now we encounter ourselves regularly on the gambling board and each time, his contributions are always interesting to interact with.
• My merit fans, i can't mention them all but they're the reason I'm here today (rank-wise). Some assisted me then left me along the way; Jet cash (he hate bold so won't put his name in bold lol), DdmrDdmr, The Pharmacist, Welsh etc i miss your meriting lol although thanks for helping me when i needed you guys the most.
• tk808, shout out to this guy, he was the reason why I picked interest in the alternative subboard since the board was lacking merit especially as his contributions weren't getting highlighted then I got motivated, applied for source and got appointed. He's such an asset to that particular board.
• Special shout out to; GOLD_official (current campaign manager for finding value in my posts and always accepting me each time I reapply to promote project. Fillippone, Heisenberg_Hunter & cabalism13, (for been my pals & motivators), DireWolfM14 (1st positive trust giver, thanks for trusting me (A Nigerian) with the loans, Upgrade00 (for always patronizing my currency exchange business), philipma1957 & TMAN (for always coming through for me and thank you for everyone that have assisted me one way or the other on the forum in 2019, thank you merit sources, moderators, spam & scam busters and Theymos/Satoshi. Season greetings to you all.

[Ziskinberg]

Hhampuz  and yahoo62278 * best campaign manager in the forum.

theymos - best admin, without the admin we will not enjoy this forum. so we owe a lot of to him.

micgoossens - for consistently running a prediction competition with a decent prize.

[cryptobaboon]

So we have another chance to thank to the users who have somehow helped in the last year, but what if we could stick not to a list but a whole community? In the end, keeping that pace is what makes us strong, isn't it?

I would name several users in here such as @satoshi (that should be thanked not every year, but everyday), the brazilian community as @Adriano, @Alveus, @alegotardo, @bitmover, @Forsyth Jones, @Loganota, @Lucasgabd, @Mamaecrypto, @Paredao, @sabotag3x, @tg88, @TryNinja, @vit05 and so many others that make our local forum (and lot of external sections) a place for helping and also exchange knowledge - which, in the end, is the purpose of all of this - @theymos for handling this wild jungle (and also giving traction to the merit engine with that bunch os merits at the 10yr art contest ) and all the users that I might (and probably) had forgotten who makes this feel like the best place not for BTC only, as originally envisioned, but for an entire new generation. Revolution is just starting and we're all part of its inception

[TopTort777]

Although I don't know user yahoo62278 personally, I'm thankful for protecting forum from Cryptalk signature campaign spamming plague  Without him, forum would drawn in burst/spam posts from greedy users.

[kaneki007]

Hhampuz and yahoo62278, Best bounty managers until now
Husna QA, One active member on local forum who helps members a lot by providing answers and references
Jollygood, Many provide information about the scam project list

[hosseinimr93]

I would like to thank Theymos for doing his best to improve the quality of the forum. I admire Theymos for the trust system, the merit system and bumping changes in some boards. I appreciate Theymos for the great idea of art contest.
I've always been interested in statistics. So, I would like to thank LoyceV, DdmrDdmr and Vod.
Also, I thank suchmoon and o_e_l_e_o because of their helpful posts. I've learned a lot from them.
I thank yahoo62278 and Hhampuz. I have worked with both of them in their campaigns. I admire them for their good management.

[Questat]

2019 is about to have its curtain call. I've had a great year both inside and outside the forum. But there were several members here who kind of left some special imprint in me. By making this list I am taking the risk of leaving some names behind. My advance apologies for missing some of you.

• theymos- That 10th anniversary Bitcointalk art contest was really fun and memorable. It brought the childlike artist out of me. By merely thinking of what's creative enough to contribute to the contest killed otherwise mind-numbing hours.
• Zwei- My very first BTC-paying signature campaign manager. Had several smooth projects with Hhampuz later on.
• krogothmanhattan, minerjones, Agrawas, chronicsky, BitcoinPenny, etc.- One of my forum regrets is that I lurked in the collectibles section too late. Burned some BTC in the past. I should have spent them on collectibles. I've had great transactions with these guys for my tiny and humble collection.
• finaleshot2016, Bttzed03, GreatArkansas, crwth, etc.- To all the local guys and gals who kept the section alive and meaningful.
• mjglqw- His/her posts had prodded me several times to shift to hardware wallet.
• Piggy, maggiordomo- Notifications through PM is dearly missed. But many thanks to LoyceV for taking over, without whose notification I wouldn't have been led here.
• Vod- It is sad and unfortunate that bpip.org is gone. I hope it is temporary, though. One of my personal bases in considering whether a forum member is a quality poster worth emulating or not is not the number of merits he/she received but the number of posts he/she makes per deleted one. I don't know where to find such data again.

My gratitude to all of you and to those I missed to mention for making my 2019 great. I hope I have contributed even a little to at least a single member's good year in this forum.
