Thanks for the idea LoyceV
Calculation example:

How about this: After locking the topic on December 16, you post a numbered list (start with number 0, not 1) of qualifying candidates. Don't edit that post anymore.
When that block is mined, and let's take block 659343 as an example, you take the hash:
00000000000000000009a4f6f21e40f4c24eb7d0d17be6f35166c894ed93cccf
From this, you take all numbers: 00000000000000000009462140424701763516689493, then for convenience the last 9 digits only: 516689493.
Say the list is:

Code:

0. userA
1. userB
2. userC
....
69. userBQ

To get the winner, you divide 516689493 by 70 (one more than 69) and take the remainder: 33. User #33 on the list wins.

Start & End

Start: November 30, 2020 (after sponsor's introductory post)
End: December 15, 2020

On December 16, the topic will be locked for summing up. The results will be published in this thread: (Discussion) Best Bitcointalk Interview

This topic is self-moderated, all posts that violate the voting rules will be deleted.

We would like to thank zasad@ for his input into the development of the crypto community.

His idea of interviews with the active participants of the forum allows us to learn more about each other. And for us, as the active participant of the cryptocurrency market, helping people find the best exchange rates, it is very important to understand whom we are providing our service to. This way we can make it even more convenient and useful.

We really appreciate the work that zasad@ has done, this is why we are happy to sponsor the contest and become closer to the friendly crypto community of bitcointalk.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262967.msg54861590#msg54861590
He is a good mining specialist.

Thank you zasad@ and Best_Change for making this initiative.
I didn't read all the interviews, but if I have to vote for only one than my vote goes for Daniel91 and his interview.
For everyone else - no hard feelings and better luck next time

UPDATE:

I am changing my vote to counter rigged voting:

Code:

gmaxwell

[Csmiami]

Wow, this was a really hard one; but I'd definately go for: The Pharmacist

I'm sorry for this; but I really loved the latest one from gmaxwell.... And considering I've received a positive answer to the posibility of changing votes.... my vote goes to gmaxwell aswell

There were some many others worth nominating, but 1 out of 210... too hard

[slackovic]

My vote goes to:

I'm too changing my mind and my vote goes to:

gmaxwell

I didn't read his interview until now so after I have read it, I changed my mind.

Okay, I'm picking the organizer for this whole party--zasad@.
I like active people who organize various contests on the forum. zasad@ you are an energetic and proactive guy, keep moving towards organizing various competitions. It cheers up very well.

I liked the interview with user Ratimov :

It is difficult to make 1 choice among the 210 interviewees. But I really enjoy the @fillippone answer.

gmaxwell has indeed posted an impressive story, but there are other noteworthy stories as well.
My vote will go to JayJuanGee, fillippone or qwk. I will decide on the answer before this thread is blocked.

I read almost every interview on the thread, I think many of those are already forgotten.
I liked mine, because I had a lot of fun writing it,  but I think it would be unethical to self-vote, even if it weren't forbid by the rules.
The best answer came, quite unexpectedly, from a legend in the forum: gmaxwell.

So here I officially cast my vote:

Code:

gmaxwell

[BlackHatCoiner]

Wow, I was the 2nd interviewer from the thread and really didn't believe that it will go that well. Cheers zazad@!

I haven't read them all, but today I woke up and read a legend's interview, so I'm going to vote for:

I just found his interview:

gmaxwell

And although my choice is probably a tad biased as this one is very fresh in my mind, I've always appreciated gmaxwell's input and enjoy reading his opinion.

[Woodie]

am voting for hahay simply because he/she answered the Best Bitcointalk  interview questions with some degree of loss of time which says there is some truth in his/her answers because ~ six years is a long time  and its expected for someone to not give exact dates....besides he/she reminds me of DirectBet

I absolutely agree, it's fascinating to read in such in-depth level from someone that close to the tech (and much more), I hence nominate
