[Peanutswar]

Well, I'm not an expert regarding with the history of the forum still there is a lot of information I don't know which this quiz gives me more knowledge about the history of the forum and I'm not scared to say that I'm still a newbie regarding with the different field into the world of cryptocurrency and the bitcointalk forum there is a lot of information I don't know, nah stop making drama lol this is my score Good job to OP.

[Hobo66]

It is a great honor for me to be nominated in this contest, although I am active here only since October 2019. Thank you all who voted for me!

Thank you OP for holding this contest! Let's hope that it will be made each year

Congrats to all the winners and to all the other nominated members! As OP said, you (we) are the core of the forum!


I also completed the quiz and here is my score:




Besides, I think these two questions should be corrected:

1. The answers of the question below should be different


2. The correct answer to the question below should be "Never"


Also, in the description of this question is stated that "in 2013, Alex announced that he intends to publish [...]". I think "Alex" should be replaced with "theymos"

you just spoiled a question to others who didn't played it yet. you should've sent your advise via PM.
and your both picture showing same question but the given options below are different? how is that? I don't think correct ansower would be never. coz theymos didn't said he'll never disclose the PMs of Satoshi. but he said he'll do them when they'll be more historic.

Confirmed: I suck as a Ninja.

5 years of trying (hint your reg year) and still sucking is perfectly normal to be a Ninja. Good luck next time bud. Congratulations to all winners.

Who is the man? :-P

Did I just score at the Top so far?



There were some question which were confusing to answer however the first time I have enjoyed a quiz like this. The questions were interesting and I must say that you have done a lot of homework before making these questioners.  Well done icopress!

congratulation to all the members who won the titles on bitcointalk community awards. it's just too bad that the winner of the last 3 awards won't receive their prize.

I can't believe I only got 4 out of 20 questions but to my defence, I got confused with some of the answers. but overall the quiz is really helpful by giving the reason behind the correct answer.

~snip~

Who is the man? :-P

it's probably theymos.

Thanks guys for the votes

I am slightly disappointed surprised nobody mentioned me as scam buster though, despite several scam fighting initiatives.

T-shirts will be sent to all winners (to all who feel that their confidentiality will not be violated).

As much as I'd like to show off my t-shirt in real life, I don't want to share my size location so unfortunately I can't accept it.

First of all, that "Alex" name should be changed with "theymos".  His name is not Alex... And I don't know who can be this Alex

Thanks for your comment, I can assure you that I know Theymos's name, at least because we have common birthday dates. ^[+-24h]
This is not the first time that I have confused the names of people ... There are many reasons that could explain this oddity, but it is not that important, and all the same, I will remain mysteriously strange, in the end I must have my own distinctive feature. ^{[Like Foxpup, with his weekly publications from the future.]}

OK, that's odd--you just had "Alex" in place of "The Pharmacist" a second ago, which you also called me in your last PM.  What's up with that? ........... You are a puzzling person, icopress.   

The second problem is with the answer itself. If theymos changed his mind and abandoned the idea of publishing Satoshi's PMs and IP, then, basically, the answer should be "Never". However, he stated after that this information would be of a great historic interest later. Later is not the same with never, but bear in mind that he still did not say a specific date (year 2045, 2060 etc.). Nor he said that he will ever post them... Being of historic interest decades later doesn't imply he will publish them (even decades later). Therefore, I think the correct answer should be "Other" (or "Another"), as nobody knows if theymos will disclose this information at all; and, if he will disclose after some "decades", nobody knows after how many decades. It can be after year 2030 or after 2040 or after 2050 and so on... Do you see my point here?

Thanks to o_e_l_e_o for finding the post we are talking about, and as we can see, the "Never" answer does not fit, as does the "2021/25" answer.

I agree with you that Theymos answer does not provide any guarantees, including "50 years" which he indicated as an example. I did not add the answer option "other", since I could not remember the quote verbatim (for how many decades he mentioned). And, in my opinion, this information in 20 years will certainly be of no less historical interest than in 50 years ^{[although, I am sure, 50 years are indicated as an example]}, in any case, if I was mistaken for several decades, I added "+" To the answer. I hope you also understand my point of view

jamyr, Let me criticize you a little ... I think using hints during the quiz is at least silly, besides, this quiz is aimed at testing your real knowledge, there is no prize for the best answer ... If you think that by posting the perfect result, you will prove something to someone, then you are wrong.

I am not saying this because I don’t believe you, but because I think there are some questions related to events so old that even Theymos would probably have answered wrongly one or two questions.

I've tested my knowledge in this actually. I tested it more than once, and I've learned that learning from your mistakes, can make you better. :p

By the way, some old questions were familiar to me, as I have given Halab some example questions which were present in the quest, (uid=1, theymos id, etc) xD

[irfan_pak10]

Was that your first attempt   Cz my first attempt was disastrous

How about more respect 

[GazetaBitcoin]

This is not the first time that I have confused the names of people ... There are many reasons that could explain this oddity, but it is not that important, and all the same, I will remain mysteriously strange, in the end I must have my own distinctive feature.

Lool,sry buddy, I forgot your sense of humour. Now that you quoted that discussion with The Pharmacist I remember it, as I read it back then

if I was mistaken for several decades, I added "+" To the answer. I hope you also understand my point of view  

Hehe, I fully understand now. You are right Thank you for explaining me.

One more question, if I may (just out of curiosity): why the results of some users show X correct answers out of 20 questions, while others have X correct answers out of 22 questions... I answered to 22 questions, for example. But look at the screenshots of irfan_pak10 of jamyr, which show they had just 20 questions.

you just spoiled a question to others who didn't played it yet. you should've sent your advise via PM.

I'm not sure how well you know this forum, but allow me to take your worries away: most of the users don't read the posts made above theirs and, in many cases, they don't even read the OP. So you don't have to worry: very few will see the spoiler

and your both picture showing same question but the given options below are different? how is that?

See, this is the perfect example of what I wrote above. I posted two different questions, but you didn't even take a proper look at my post and you wrote yours. If you'll look again (paying attention), you'll see there are two questions with different answers, not one question with two different sets of answers lol.

[SFR10]

Congratulations to all of the winners and thanks to icopress for running the event ^{[thanks as well to those that voted for me, even though I didn't win in any category]} + creating another interesting quiz for all of us <sup>[I'm not pleased with my result but I did enjoy it a lot]
- BTW, I'm loving all of the "T-shirt layouts"</sup>

[Rikafip]

I answered to 22 questions, for example. But look at the screenshots of irfan_pak10 of jamyr, which show they had just 20 questions.

I was a bit confused with that as well, at first I thought I had 6/22 but @icopress cleared that out via bitcointalk discord group (using this opportunity to invite other members to join us). So all good, we all had 20 questions.

I checked the settings, there are really 20 questions, but apparently the first and last pages are also taken into account.

The design for the t-shirt are great, can't wait to see when it's placed on t-shirt.

I agree, t-shirt designs look great, but I am not sure I would be comfortable wearing it, considering the one I won . I have to ponder for a while before I make decision on the matter. Might be a nice souvenir though.

[jamyr]

Ahaha, well it was not my first attempt.
My first attempt I scored like 6 or 7, but there was no rule saying you can't retake it, and so I did. At least now I've learned 13-14 stuff, I didn't know before. Thanks to this quiz of icopress.

The people have spoken. Democracy is a success. What do I win? 

A form of Legacy. Keep up the good work! grats

[Lordhermes]

Congratulations to all the winners in the bitcointalk community awards, its just shows to us how well you have helped the forum to this extent and I'm proud to see you all with the designed awards, sorry for those that couldn't get the award like that of "the most discovery of the year" where filippone was overtaken by ratimov,  
For the quiz, the questions were complicated and somehow hard to get it correctly, I I got 4/20, failed wholeheartedly.

[Igebotz]

Congratulations to all the winners in their respective categories all well deserved for their efforts here on the forum. Merry xmas y'all.

I took part in the forum 20 quiz and to my greatest surprise, I thought Satoshi was the founder of the forum I never knew of Cobra till today. Thanks, @icopress you did a great job.


My score I tried right

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Big congratulations to all the winners and the runner ups too, we all deserve to be celebrated for keeping the forum this interactive and this entertaining. This was just a voting event and you not winning doesn't mean you aren't been appreciated for your contributions to the forum.The design look simple and smart although I would love to suggest that there should be some indications that this t-shirt are linked with bitcointallk and awarded from the community. All aren't having that indications on them like the category which I emerge champion isn't having bitcointallk on it and also the discovery of the year design. Something like this won't be bad ' Bitcointallk golden father' and Bitcointallk Discovery of the year'.

Don't misinterpret my suggestion as this were made with honest intensions. Big shout out to you icopress for coming up with this initiative and to all those that brought out time to vote for those they felt deserve the award. Thank you for participating. I tried the test but I suck and ashamed to post my result although after going through the thread, it seems I'm not alone on this and even surprised I did better than some result I'm seeing here lol.

I also learnt some new stuff about the forum and industry's history so thank you once again for coming up with another interesting concept. Can't wait for what you have planned next for the community. Merry Christmas to everyone seeing this and a happy and prosperous new year in advance.
