🏆 Bitcointalk Community Awards [Results of the Year + Quiz]

[icopress]

~snip~

Who is the man? :-P

it's probably theymos. ......... it's just too bad that the winner of the last 3 awards won't receive their prize.

No No No, the kiss 🦊  is addressed only to me! You will not believe if I say that I organized this event only for the sake of this cherished moment.

As for the nominations in which Satoshi and Lauda won, I can assure you that this question also bothered me until I contacted ^{[permanent@ban.com]} them directly. They unanimously expressed their desire to trade their T-shirts for a T-shirt for Craig Wright and frankly, I was surprised that FedEx delivered the package to him before Christmas.

[nelson4lov]

A big congratulations to everyone who won awards for their contributions to the forum. I do believe that it is okay to appreciate people from time to time for their contributions and support. This is what we have done as a community. To all winners, A big thank you to you guys for all you do for the forum. Your contributions didn't go unnoticed and has helped other members in one way or another. You guys rock, big time. Glad to see someone from my community, CryptopreneurBrainboss  making the list of winners. Congrats man.

And to @Icopress, A big thank you for coming up with such an initiative and for still pulling it off. Not a lot of people can do it.  You're appreciated as well.

To everyone else who was nominated but didn't get to win, don't be deterred. You didn't win today doesn't me you won't get another chance. If anything, be glad a host of community members thought you worthy for an award. Keep contributing and everything would fall into place.

Like everyone else, I did try out the quiz. Managed to get 10/20 correct. I got 5 wrong because I wasn't too sure of the answers. Even though I didn't get all correct, it was nice to get acquainted and learn about some forum history. At least I know a thing or two right now.

Congrats to the winners once again and Merry Christmas 🤶 Everyone!

[Oshosondy]

Congratulations to all the winners, how I wish to be one of the winners but I am really glad to see some of the members I like to be among, and to every one that won, I congratulate you all.

Also isopress really tried, he took his time to do his possible best to make sure this was well successfully completed.

No No No, the kiss 🦊  is addressed only to me! You will not believe if I say that I organized this event only for the sake of this cherished moment.

Now we have a couple in bitcointalk?

I am genuinely interested if there are any couples with us where both husband and wife are sharing the same mindset.

As for the nominations in which Satoshi and Lauda won, I can assure you that this question also bothered me until I contacted ^{[permanent@ban.com]} them directly. They unanimously expressed their desire to trade their T-shirts for a T-shirt for Craig Wright and frankly, I was surprised that FedEx delivered the package to him before Christmas.

Why I feel this could be a photoshopped image. I doubt Craig has any humor at all, although he is the original faketoshi.

[icopress]

Now we have a couple in bitcointalk?

Couple? Royse777, you embarrassed me a little...

I can say for sure that one kiss is unlikely to change anything. Although I understand perfectly well that Foxpup 🦊 has a lot of hidden fans who dream of such a coincidence of circumstances, ^{[by the way, they can deny their involvement in her cult]} there are many other reasons why we cannot be together. Also, I don't think Foxpup has changed her habits over the past year ... habits that are detrimental to healthy adult relationships.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Congratulations to the winners...
Complicated but nice quiz, These questions are reminiscent of many old memories. It will take not more than 3 minutes to finish 20 questions,   
I Got 14 out of 20   

By the way, nice avatars of the winner, these really matches their character,

[erikoy]

I was expecting that @CryptopreneurBrainboss will be one of the voted or will come out in the voting. It seems this members has a good reputation already among the bitcoiners here in the forum and I am also glad to it. Anyway to all listed winners of the voting may it be a little late from me. Congratulations! You deserve it and that you should be proud of that bitcointalk has reserved a place of you being one of the best members in the forum.

[Malam90]

Congratulations to the all winners!!
All winners deserve this honor and recognition for their excellent contributions to the forum. Such awards will inspire all forum moderators, DT members and others to do better performance in the next. Advance happy new year to all.

[Crptomagma]

Big congrats to all our winners and I wish ou all the best bitcoin experience. Many more positive contributions to the forum and best of luck.

[famososMuertos]

Congratulations to all the nominees and especially the winners ...
icopress great idea and great execution.
All this allowed to give knowledge to many users about different functions that exist in the forum and that several users perform every day.
Quiz 9/20
^{All winners will certainly enter future quizzes} 

G.B.

[Furious 7]

Congratulations to the winners for being the best forum contributions.

icopress has made a good idea and made several votes and now we know more about who contributed to this forum even with the winners the results of the voting are good enough maybe the newbie will know better who the names of the winners are and now it becomes our motivation all to continue to do our best.

In essence we know that the famous names here will be the greatest of all forum times.

[BITCOIN4X]

Congratulations to all of you who won the nomination based on the choice of forum users. You do deserve the award and I hope next year we have the same event too. Thanks also to @icopress for bringing up this great idea.

Just a little surprised to learn that @DdmrDdmr didn't win any nomination at this event, but I firmly believe he's one of the gems on the forum right now. His knowledge and almost all the posts he wrote are very easy to read. Personally I like him holding one of those nominations.

Lauda won two nomination, by the way. Indeed she is one of the most famous users on the forum like the artist who is currently named Miss Bitcointalk. 

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Ha ha!!!  That quiz was great!  Unfortunately, I suck at bitcoin/bitcointalk history and failed miserably with a 9/20.  Oh well.  That question about Quickseller and the escrow scamming was interesting, but I got the answer wrong--but I do remember TSpacepilot and his language recognition thing.  What ever happened to him?

This question caught me by surprise:



I had no idea Zepher had that done for him.  I remember when he died and some of his things were auctioned off, and I still have the silver skull I bought that belonged to him.  

Congrats to all the winners as well.  I don't see any members I'd argue shouldn't have won.

[ShowOff]

Ridiculous to me to only manage to get 8/20 on the first try. It's really a little challenging as I have to answer with the knowledge I gain on the forum. The second experiment probably doesn't matter anymore about the result because my eyes are still very fast recording which is the correct answer out of 20 question. 
By the way, I like your quiz.

[icopress]

Ha ha!!!  That quiz was great!  Unfortunately, I suck at bitcoin/bitcointalk history and failed miserably with a 9/20.  Oh well.  That question about Quickseller and the escrow scamming was interesting, but I got the answer wrong--but I do remember TSpacepilot and his language recognition thing.  What ever happened to him?

I can't know for sure, but I guess LFC_Bitcoin should know more (given that they seemed to be in close contact).

As for the quiz, ^{[As I said before]} I initially wanted to add 40 questions of this nature, but I thought it would be rather tedious, (the remaining unpublished questions will come in handy for the next round). And by the way, if you are interested in the history of the forum, you can see the chronological thread, (by xtraelv).

[AngelaT34534]

Summing up the Community Awards 2020, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who took part in the voting, as well as everyone who supported this initiative. Well-deserved congratulations to all winners and nominees representing a wide variety of areas and thanks to all those who continue to make Bitcointalk better.
