5 years LoyceV!

[LoyceV]

LFC_Bitcoin's topic reminded me I have something to celebrate too: Today, I turned 5 years old on Bitcointalk!

I joined Bitcointalk just shortly after I "started with Bitcoin". For privacy reasons, I used a random generator to create a name: Loyce Valenzuela! I only found out it's a girl's name much later, but by then it had grown on me already. "Valenzuela" rolls off the tongue nicely. I never imagined I'd still be using the same name 5 years later.
In my early days, I even missed several "2 weeks Activity periods" on Bitcointalk, that's how inactive I was. How things have changed
I've been a Mod on Rollin.io until the site shut down. That's where I grew my thick skin. And, according to some, a pony tail
Compared to Rollin's Chatter box, Bitcointalk is filled with Saints. After Rollin shut down, i started spending more time on Bitcointalk.

I can't deny Merit has been good for me, but I also know I'm spending more time here than I probably should. I appreciate that most of the community values my contributions, thanks for that I often feel honored for being mentioned on local boards which I can't even read. My Trust list viewer is still my proudest work, and it's often used to prove certain points (good or bad). I try to remain neutral from most of the forum drama, and I wish more people would use a "neutral" approach whenever possible.

Some facts about LoyceV:

• Likes Bitcoin
• Joined Bitcointalk to complain about a captcha on a faucet site
• Can't quote said first post because tinypic.com disappeared

• Ask! I may or may not answer

Thanks Satoshi! None of this would have happened without you. I truely wish I would have been here from the start.

• Was once asked by theymos to be a Mod, by mistake (grrrrrrrr theymos)

How did that happen, and how was that a mistake?

Congrats, Loyce. You are truly a gem on this forum.

[DireWolfM14]

Your contributions to this forum are invaluable.  We are all quite lucky to have you as a member of this community.  Congratulations on your "Birthday," and here's wishing you many, many more!

[peonminer]

Happy BCT Birthday Loyce. Some very interesting and random bits. I bet this post will bring back some good memories of long time BCTers. Well done!

[LoyceV]

How did that happen, and how was that a mistake?

Something with sending a PM to the wrong person because of the large number of reports I had made

[guigui371]

No need to brag  
Some of us have been there longer and haven't done a single thing (except a tutorial or two).


Joke aside, you are indeed an extraordinary asset to the forum.
And yes, you are very often quoted in the french board.

I feel you should have a plaque, or a statue if Theymos decides to sell some virtual land and make a real BTC minecraft.

Congrats LoyceV !

Learnd a few things from you and you doing and have done an awesome Job in the last 5 years.
Nice to read some history of your doing and how things was ages ago!

Happy Birthday for the 5 Years here 

[truth or dare]

These are truly impressive stats. Congratulations on demonstrating emphatically that merit earned and duration of membership are not correlated with achievements nor success.

This is great work. Keep it up. Brilliant work loyceV whoever you are.

If only you had've joined 12 days earlier, we could all be wishing you a happy valentines with your 5 years partner: bitcointalk.

Congrats on the 5 year anniversary, I imagine many of us thought the forum would be gone. That's the general tone I got when I joined in august 2015.



I joined to see if cloudmining was legit, turns out the sites I were trying to use weren't (afaik)...

We can reconvene in another 5 years when you still haven't moved off of here . Perhaps by then you'll be a mod of something @Theymos where are we on creating Loyce's special board...

In 5 minutes you've proven how credible fake newbies are. Congratulations.

You have done your best and have been named a jewel on the bitcointalk.org forum. Only a few people can do as you have now, and maybe none. Congratulations on all the facts about your profile, I like it.

I want to be like you, having most of the facts about goodness and great achievements embedded in my profile, I want to travel everywhere and people can get to know me but in reality I have to be at a level far from you because of limited ability and the knowledge and background that we have. I just hope that one day I can also reach a level like you. Congratulations again on your achievements in 5 years at the forum and I hope you will continue to be here for a long time. Cheers

Congrats, well deserved. 

• Tried to have DdmrDdmr Nuked (I can't find back the link, but I'm still sorry)

Here it is:   

I've tagged the account... although I can't tell if I'm actually DT2 or not, so I'm not sure what good it will do.

Add ;dt to any page to see it as DT. Example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2398151;dt
You're on DT (included by suchmoon).

I found out yesterday that I listed "bounty spammer" DdmrDdmr to be nuked last February

I could have been knocked-off the board pretty soon though …:

My Nuke list for consideration (I choose clickable over code-tags):
<…>
DdmrDdmr
<…>

@mprep and other mods apparently nuked quite a few from the list. Saved by the whistle …

~
The ones above and under your name are all nuked. The Mods did a good job excluding you. Creating a long list is quite easy, manually checking the accounts before nuking them is a lot of (boring) work. Well done Mods

Sorry! I'm glad the Mods paid attention

Finally, you have proven that mods are doing a good job. ^^

[actmyname]

in 5 years you have done nothing.  you have not added a single line of code to a single crypto project, and have not worked for a single blockchain startup
LOL maybe in the next 5 years you will actually contribute to the technology that brings us all here....

You're not that much older than me, Loyce. :/

[cryptoaddictchie]

• Ask! I may or may not answer

First, congratulations mate. I am indeed your fan. 5years with so much accomplishment is amazing. I remember Pming you about an idea but too bad your too busy making this forum great and didnt give me a good suggestion. Anyways!

I hope you can answer this not so long question of mine.

If youre not here in forum who do you think will be the LoyceV type guy here?   Please pick one and answer @LoyceV some are probably wanted to here which you think is like you (except theymos, staff and global mods)

[JollyGood]

Congratulations 

You are one of the most approachable people here in the forum, I hope you will be around for the next 5 years too so you can keep contributing to this wonderful place.

It's funny how an AI has something against Theymos.

• Is Verified human, despite many claims of being AI

That's something that an AI would say..
