First of all congratulations to all the winners of the Bitcointalk community awards 2021 who have also got some exciting prizes this year which is impressive.Secondly thanks to @icopress and @GazetaBitcoin for organizing and managing this event in effective manner making the members engage in this time to vote for.It literally feels like having awards ceremony like the Oscars but for the forum members.

Those who have contributed well enough for the community in different ways have earned their rewards for it but it's not like those who have missed the opportunity are not good because there are so many members who might not be on that winning list but as forum member we know their tiredless efforts to make forum learning library.So be happy all with the results.

The another issue which I am seeing is privacy related but yes there are many of us who will prefer being anonymous rather than revealing their indentity for these prizes but it's after all our personal choice and if they don't want to compromise with it like @o_l_e_o has said it's completely fine and we should respect it.I also remember when the BitcoinTalk Show suggestions were asked i said about interview from top members but they have privacy issues which we should accept as it is same for me also.

So will see who is going to have this main VIP tour from sportsbet.io this time?

Regarding myself, second year in a row without winning anything. Last year I was close to the top, this year I was nowhere close to getting a prize. Shame on me, I need to work more for the “bitcoin geek” category (the category where my results where less awful.

Feel bad for you and was hoping that you will be winning in any one of the category but as a joint bitcointalk community we all share common base and these rewards are at secondary but our main priority is to make this forum better place and keep up the same good work we are doing.

You have been contributing so much towards bitcoin like sharing lot of useful stuff so you are also bitcoin geek man for us so cheer up and like your competitive spirit that you want to improve yourself more and be on that list.

Hopefully next year the competition will be bigger, funnier and louder!
Icopress, you get to be ready!

And my instincts tell you will be getting some tours next time the awards results are out if you are football fan and Steve has the same VIP prize next year.So cheer up for you and all the winners

Congratulations to all the winners, they are all worth deserving such an award to encourage them push further and in appreciation to their role and influence to the forum, and to all contestants, you've all as well proved yourselves capable and that you're almost there, also a big Well done with a clapping ovasion goes to the organizers of this great award winning program "Bitcointalk Community Award" as you've also done well in quality delivery.

I must confess to this that it really hurt me when i discovered am unable to meet up with the voting criteria for this noble award but am also excited at seeing the beautiful results coming as i expected and hopefully i see myself in the next coming award participating.

Congratulations to you all once again.

[Best_Change]

I'm touched that so many people voted for me. There are many people who deserve to be called "heroes of good" more than me, but I will try to live up to it.

I decline any prize; if there is BTC allocated to me, please donate it to Razom.

Thanks to icopress for organizing this event, and congratulations to the winners!

We can suggest you create a separate wallet for us to transfer you the prize (otherwise, we can make it ourselves and give you a seed phrase, to save you the trouble). And you can dispose the prize as you wish.
Unfortunately, we cannot make a transfer to any charity this or that way connected with geopolitics.

Firstly, due to our neutral status, which would be broken by such a transfer. Secondly, due to law restrictions in the country where part of our staff lives, to avoid administrative and criminal liability for them.

Damn geopolitics. It's a nice twist 😉

That's understandable and we can only respect the opinion. I wonder however, if theymos doesn't agree to this "deal", would you consider sending the amount to one of icopress addresses - assuming he accepts it? I'm sure that he'll know, better than anyone, where to channel/donate those funds to help his country...

[Smartvirus]

I must say, the level of transparency in this balloting system is like non other and if such transparency was applied to the voting systems of nations, we won't have had a reason to question the credibility of our leaders.

The event was a huge success as, votes were largely considered from only exposed and experienced individuals on the forum. The initiative is one that calls for not just active participation as both voters and users voted for but, for a more dutiful user and an awareness that all that is done on the forum is duly noted and as well, credited.

A big congrats to all the winners!

[Taskford]

People on the list are truly deserve to win, there efforts and contribution on this forum makes them became the most outstanding member here. This is a though user picking for almost all of community members since there are so many guys around who also do their best to make this forum a better place for us user and for newbies.

Congratulations to all of the winners and also for the sponsor of this event.

[Lafu]

Also from me congratulations to all the winners for every category and also to every other one that was nominated for the Awards.
Special Thanks to icopress and all the sponsors for the prices for running and starting the Community Awards and how you have handled this all.
Looking forward to the next and coming Awards when the time has come again for it.

Considering his past refusal to accept any prize it is hard that @theymos might accept this one also as Chipmixer has already donated his 5mbtc win to the Ukraine help.But if @Best_change does not want to involve in any of these matters it's on them but yes giving out the amount to the person who has organised this whole thing @icopress or @GazetaBitcoin are perfect to decide how to make effective use of these funds.

It's really nice to see that @theymos has decided to donate the funds from his winning and he deserved the title Hero of Good

Hero of Good theymos

Will look forward that whether he accept it this way or not.

Thank you Icopress for organising this contest, you are great.
80% of the people I voted are winners, I am happy I could make some cool voting judgements.
I'll keep projecting The Pharmacist and Fillippone for this contest if it's to be an annual contest and I know they will become winners soon because they were very close in this.

I have a concern.

Golden Feather

LoyceV (92), DdmrDdmr (69)...

DdmrDdmr for instance came 2nd, 3rd, 4th in many different positions. But sadly to me he didn't win. For him to pull high votes in different positions means he is versatile or good in many positions. His versatility became a disadvantage to him and his votes were scattered among different positions. This also happened to others like The Pharmacist, Fillippone and even Ratimov(he was lucky to emerge in SpamBuster because he did exceptionally well there).

To solve this problem I propose that in subsequent awards, it can be done in two phases(Nomination phase and voting phase) by this, the result of the nomination will guide voters to know the strengths of the participants and hence decide the appropriate positions to vote them.

Meanwhile, someone should give DdmrDdmr an award.

Thanks to Best_Change, ChipMixer, sporty and others who coloured this contest by sponsoring it.

Regards.
KingsDen!

I don't know if the person behind Plan B is here and it looks like he's watching me. Could it be that he was offended for nominating him as a "Fail of the year"? because I'm now blocked, LOL

Here is my vote:
  ...
  6. Fail of the Year: "Plan B" prediction

It's even sadder because I wasn't even on the draw list.
By the way, Congrats to all the winners

[skarais]

Congratulations to all the winners selected through this voting result. I was a little surprised by the result that there were 14 votes during the event for me in the discovery category of the year. I'm not sure if that's an honest voice or not, but I do appreciate them. Thank you for all, icopress, sponsors and anyone involved during this event.

Discovery of the Year

Yeah, nominations could solve some of the problems with the format of the awards. Think that would be a decent idea, although the nominations should be open to everyone, same as the voting.

Meanwhile, someone should give DdmrDdmr an award.

I don't take DdmrDdmr as the award receiving type, by that I mean a user that sought after recognition or awards. I'm sure they're quite aware of their recognition among the community, and hopefully that's rewarding enough, considering the results of the awards.

I actually have a question Is the Awards are for specific Position as explained in Page 1.

Isn't it is possible for the Awards same for every Country community or some awards for community sebior members.

One more question as Repeat Posts are not allowed so Is there is Source merit in every Community or just in Particular Community. Thanks

Phew, i will have to be absolutely spot on to interprete your questions. No, the awards isn't for specific positions, anyone can be voted for, but in order to qualify to vote, you will have to have at least 50 merits, or be a full member and above.

The awards is open for absolutely any user, irrespective of local board/section. (I am guessing that is what you mean by "country community")

Not in every local board (i am still guessing that is what you mean by "community" here). Theymos chooses Merit Sources, and yes some MS in their application state their intention to be more active in giving out source merits in their local section, thus if such MS are accepted, they can be said to be dedicated MS for such local section, i see you are from Pakistan, so i will give you a related example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5287171.0 i do not know if that user was later selected as a merit source in your local board. But overall it is up to users to apply if they want to be MS in their local community; and Theymos to decide. Here is how to apply:

If you want to be a merit source:

 1. Be a somewhat established member.
 2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
 3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.

I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.

So the three qualified winners in three categories actually turned down the chance to watch Southampton or Arsenal play, which would have been a dream tour for some users who have never been to the UK. At the very least, getting to see Arsenal get beaten at home in their next game would be a pleasure. Lol.  

What happens now that the three qualifying winners have declined for whatever reason, and the award cannot be converted to BTC? Is it possible for them to nominate someone to take their place? @icopress

Who's next in line? This seems undefined, and it looks like this "handing over" doesn't follow the same order in which the categories were listed. [...]

All winners will share the prize pool of 50 mBTC and free bets will be drawn between the voters. Moreover, this year the main prize will be a VIP tour for two, to an Arsenal or Southampton match

Hi All,

Congratulations to all nominees and winners.

It's great to see recognition, celebration, and positivity around the place!

Massive thanks again to ICOPRESS for organising this

On behalf of Sportsbet.io & myself, I can assure you we are not offended. We certainly respect your right to privacy.

For now, getting towards the pointy end of the EPL season and also a trip gone begging over the "Beers with Steve" Promo too.. this may have to carry over to the start of next EPL season. ( We will for sure honor the prizes in some way.)

Let me have a chat with the boss Joe to see what we can come up with and Ill get back to Icopress at a later date with potential work arounds.

Thanks all and regards,

Steve.

Friends, I can say without exaggeration that you are really cool guys, all of you, the core of the forum, which I first mentioned about two years ago. Special thanks to our sponsors and those who supported this event in every possible way, whether it was an unknown designer or a forum regular who helped with the counting of votes. Thank you for the heated discussions, as our life (including forum life) is partly made up of small dramas.

As far as I know, most of the winners have already received their prizes, and if not, this issue will be resolved as soon as possible. As for the collectibles, we need time... I'll remind Cyrus periodically, so expect a PM from him. In addition, free bets will be in your accounts tomorrow, so you can use them in the afternoon.

best regards
Mr. X
