[Results 2022] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

[dkbit98]

Thank you for these suggestions Would you like to elaborate a bit more about the new categories? I mean to say a few words about their description or what type of users would fit in each category...? Maybe give some examples that cross your mind right now, together with some links to topics showing why X can be considered Peacemaker, why Y can be considered Troublemaker or why Z can be considered Drama Queen? This may be helpful.

I mean it's obvious if you look at the names I suggested and there is no need for writing big explanations, my idea was just to freshen up next year competition.

I dropped water on it.

Don't throw it away in garbage, maybe you could use it later for spear parts.
Believe it or not, almost all hardware wallets that exist today are not water resistant, so better be careful with new device you purchase, or keep in some case or bag.
Only device I know that claims it will be water resistant is upcoming 1inch hardware wallet, but I hope others will soon follow that practice.

Wait, there was no troll of the year? Add it for the new year, prize should be a perma ban.😂

Oh man nicely hosted competition here!
Congratulation to all the winners and a big heart to those who did not win but its never the last competition.

Wow, I think we should have more awareness about the Bitcointalk Community Awards though I have seen it flashing on the top tab then also I only got engaged few times with it.

However, considering the volume of the members we have on this forum, it should be even grand than this.

Still, loving the energy here and those different characters and awards are just cool. Add more categories, may be we can have more participants soon.

By the way I am seeing all the names in the winning list which are always there whenever I am opening the forum everyday! Definitely worth it.

That's a cool idea!

Although, I think it would be even nicer to add a BCA forum badge with the specific award(s) in the tooltip, like this:

Definitely worth coding it!

Great event, nice to see so many different winners! Well deserved to you all and finally jayce takes home the craft master category - can't think of anyone who deserves it more. I bet I don't only speak for myself when I say that a lot of campaigns/promos and similar here on bitcointalk would not run without your amazing graphics jayce.

Thank you to organizers, apologies for not getting my votes in but looking at the totals it would have made no difference.

Please give my winnings to jayce, he deserves it

Thank you very much for your support Hhampuz! But even if you win it, I don't mind at all as I'm fully aware of your efforts and innovations as a campaign manager. You often enlightened me with your ideas and your patience is a top level when I got stuck. It's a great pleasure to work with you sir!

And thank you for your generous gesture Hhampuz, but I don't think that I deserve it. You are doing a great work for the forum and you deserve a prize for that

The professionalism and respect for each other is the most beautiful gift to us, especially to me, shown by the winners of this event.
Although I have already congratulated all the winners, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you all a second time. We look forward to new breakthroughs for the betterment of the forum.


I can only imagine how grand this event would have been if it had been held in a large, well-decorated building complete with dazzling lights. When dominators from all over the world gather, sitting close to each other at the round tables provided while waiting for the announcement of each nomination facilitated by the moderator of this event while chatting lightly and occasionally laughing out loud.

It's bound to be a great annual party.
The excitement of our event is likely to outshine other events such as the Ballon d'Or or other major events.

<…> We had 141 eligible voters.

Thanks. That’s lower than I’d have thought in relation to the roughly, let’s say, 1.723 Active members since November (rough upper limit of potential voters) -> just over 8% potential in practice voter participation.

<…> Would you like to elaborate a bit on the subject? What do you have in mind?

It probably needs a bit of common brainstorming, but the desired effect would be to have local boards gain some visibility in the event (though laterally they already have some through some of the nominees).

Something along the like of best local board asset (within each local board) or best local board newbie/comeback. The idea would be to highlight those that contribute in a very meaningful manner to potentiate their local board through content, aid, knowledge or alike.

Since there are currently 22 local boards, I figure there won’t be 22 new subcategories (one per local board) under the Local Board Asset category. Bearing that in mind, and that some of the local boards are pretty much flat, perhaps the participating local boards have to have some requirements (i.e. number of active members, posts, minimum number of valid votes, and so forth).

Now it’s true that Merit Sources could have some kind advantage there as fillippone hinted, though it should not be a factor people should mindfully consider as a core aspect that defines an asset to their local board. If that’s a conceptual issue, just add "new" as a prefix to the category to delimit the scope of nominees to new accounts for the given year.

I take this opportunity to share some more interesting and funny facts I noticed during voting period. I hope you'll all enjoy!  

• Most united local board: Italian, by far. In my opinion, the greatest brotherhood can be found inside Italian board. This is because their members voted mostly for other Italian members, encouraging each other. I observed such behavior inside German board, for example, but Italians seems to be the ones best at supporting their people. Respect to that!

• Most weird / creepy vote:

-AntiHero: dead Lauda

• An interesting debate: Sarah Azhari trying to convince yahoo62278 that he may be a girl

• Miss Bitcointalk: yahoo62278

Guess I better start sitting down to pee if I'm to take home the miss bitcointalk title lol. If I win I'll need a brand new dress to strut my stuff in.

 I'm sorry because I still don't know how to differentiate between men and women here, I just look by the name Yahoo that look women by me.

about 18,881 yahoo girl name in 2013

https://www.babycenter.com/baby-names/details/yahoo-417015

yahoo62278 seemed to take this possibility seriously, thus he made some plans in case he'd actually find out that he is a girl:

Guess I better start sitting down to pee if I'm to take home the miss bitcointalk title lol. If I win I'll need a brand new dress to strut my stuff in.

• Most philosophic explanation for Antihero category:

anti hero does not mean villain. its means hero without the boyscout red pants on

• The sad user:

Miss Bitcointalk: i can't answer my gf is watching me  

• An interesting suggestion:

There should be a category created in which I would fit, maybe Mercurial, Satanic Slob of Laziness and Chronic Beggar of Theymos for sMerits

• The new discovered girl:

5Ksana_HandMade. As far as I know, this user has never been nominated before.

• Sexism against men:

By the way, why is there no Mister Bitcointalk? What kind of injustice?  

• Insights about The Sceptical Chymist's cloths + trolling theymos:

Fail of the Year:Change of name ( From The Pharmacist to Skeptical Chymist. Dear Theymos, I'd so much appreciate it, if you can give my man what he desires and deserves as a Christmas Present

LOL, I almost shit-stained my already shit-stained bunny costume reading that.  It's Sceptical Chymist, by the way.  A minor detail, but one that Mr. party pooper didn't miss.

Theymos, the hero of good, golden feather, and niggard distributor of sMerits to all the sources (or maybe I'm just special).

• A very aesthetic vote:

• Funniest vote:

Hero of Good: Baphomet, Beelzebub, Shaitan, 'ol Scratch himself
Golden Feather: Barrack Obama
Bitcointalk Ninja: Satoshi
Bitcoin Geek: Sam Bankman Fried
Event of the Year:  FTX falling down from $32 billon mountain *doh*  I copy/pasted NotATether's list and forgot to modify this entry.
Fail of the Year: Me flipping over the handlebars of my bicycle whilst collecting cans and pretending to be homeless.  Just last night.
Discovery of the Year:  Russian scientists discover immortality drug.
Best SpamBuster: What spam?
Best ScamBuster: Pick one for me.
Craft Master: Da fuk does this even mean?
AntiHero: Black Adam
Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup

• The man closest to win at Miss BitcoinTalk category:

BitcoinGirl.Club ended up on fourth place, at one vote distance from third place  

• Another interesting debate:

BlackHatCoiner trying to convince o_e_l_e_o that he is a man

Even in 2022, husbands are males.  

I've never said I was her husband, only that she was my wife. Her gender says nothing about mine.

• The endless debate about our Supreme Leader's gender:

(Note: these are just a few examples, but the discussion lasts for years now  )

Miss Bitcointalk: I highly doubt Foxpup is she.

If I recall correctly, Foxup won the female category some time ago; how do you nominate someone whose gender is unknown to 95% of the voters? After antihero, this is the most useless category.

At least for Foxpup it's known (because profile information is important to look up  ) and that's once again a reason to set up all details in your Account.  

Guys, those of you which are so curious should know that our dear fillippone made a comprehensive list with possible genders of Foxpup

I take a lot of pride in this. We acted like a real community, not for the benefit of one, but in the main interest of the board as a whole.
There were not an act of coordination, but each member acted similarly by their own mind.

What a place bitcointalk became? You are not safe at all. I would need to have a surgery to prove that these members were not wrong about my sex 🤣
Who had this 13 inch dick?

[1miau]

Such a solution would make it more fair to reward more members. 

I'm not entirely sure about that. More members, sure - more fair, I don't know.

...
I'm all about encouraging instead of discouraging, so therefore I lean against such a solution.

I'm also all about encouraging instead of discouraging but I don't see how my suggestion would be discouraging members to report rule-breaking content and low-value post. The winner would still win quite a nice amount of valuable BTC for his reporting, something that didn't exist in previous years (before Bitcointalk had such yearly rewards) and even back then, we had quite some good reporters.
I could even argue, that implementing my suggestion would encourage more members to report spam because it's more likely for more members to get a part of the BTC-rewards cake.

[Sarah Azhari]

• An interesting debate: Sarah Azhari trying to convince yaho62278 that he may be a girl

because maybe my frequency life always got women as manager company, and feel that yahoo is women. Same as today, I really feel Royse777 is a woman also.

[joker_josue]

Congratulations to all winners! It was certainly deserved and this forum without you was not the same!

Congratulations to the entire organization of this giveaway, it was not an easy task to gather and compile all the information.



@GazetaBitcoin
You did an amazing job, even compiling interesting facts from the poll. Thanks.

Another point was that you listed all those who received at least 3 votes, regardless of category.
It ended up meeting what I had commented on in the other post. Thanks. 

[xLays]

I'm surprised Yahoo didn't win any of the Bitcointalk Community awards.

I was expecting for Yahoo to receive at least second place for the 'Absolute Hero of Good' award, as we all know Theymos deserved to be number one.

Anyway, congratulations to all the winners.

[cygan]

i already know what/who i'm going to vote for in the 'fail of the year' category this year...

There's still the next year friend.
Congratulations to all, maybe I'm late, but looking at the beginning of this post I like the animation created. Maybe it deserves to be an NFT. 

[rat03gopoh]

Don't say if you stumbled on the name yahoo on tinder app or somewhere in thailand.

[Zilon]

This was a great, event it seems that of 2022 had more effect has compared to previous years. A big thanks to @icopress and @GazetaBitcoin for releasing the result of the nominees and a heartwarming congratulations to the 2022 winners. This is one of the numerous ways the forum standard can be encouraged and trigger more users to be at the best for the next nomination.

Hehe, welcome! I am glad you remembered our discussion. And yes, I did it at your suggestion! Thank you for your opinion and also for offering yourself to help! I appreciated that!

I'm surprised Yahoo didn't won any of this Bitcointalk community award. I'm expecting more on "Absolute Hero of Good" award for Yahoo to get atleast 2nd cause we all know Theymos deserved to be number 1.

On the other hand, take into account that yahoo62278 was nominated at four categories, which only very few members managed to achieve. Indeed, one of these was "Miss BitcoinTalk" but it is what it is... He received 6 nominations at "Craft master" (ninth place), 3 nominations at "BitcoinTalk ninja" (ninth place) and 14 nominations at "Golden feather" (sixth place). And, of course, 3 votes at "Miss BitcoinTalk" (ninth place) -- here he got just one vote less than LoyceV

Loooooooooool!

Same as today, I really feel Royse777 is a woman also.

Oh boy!

Did you have that feeling only yesterday? Or are you feeling everyday that Royse is a woman?

What a place bitcointalk became? You are not safe at all.

No, we're not. I said at many times in the past:

Now it's clear for me that I really must be a part of the gang, for my own protection!

Who had this 13 inch dick?

What? 13 inches?

Hero of Good" award for Yahoo to get atleast 2nd cause we all know Theymos deserved to be number 1. 


Anyways, Congratulations to all d winners.

These awards started 2-3 years too late for me to have a real chance at winning. I was the top manager on 2017-2019 and now while I still consider myself a top manager, the companies have started hiring other managers.

It's nice to be nominated 😊

[fillippone]

In-between the gangs war, I actually forgot to add my address to claim my prize: bc1q82h0kjfyqcv4nmy6ajdnr2wkgm6a5m4k9wfs3n.
Thank you Gazeta!

yes it is true, we are very united because we are not very many and we have known each other for a long time
among other things we try to cooperate with very nice projects like btctalk on telegram by @mendace and the wiki to put stable content on a site

I think it is due to this
