how to find how many members and who have different kind of badges?

You're going to have to check all profiles to find them all. Good luck

Aren't those personal badges only temporary? I recently observed one on PowerGlow; I'm guessing it has something to do with useful SMF patching work. Others, I know, are contest badges.

Unless you wish to make something out of it, those are nothing. Those that won the pizza contest wear one as well. Don't lose sleep on it.

Fortunately, the OP has plenty of time to move in that direction, although I doubt he would ever succeed in it, considering that he very often asks this kind of pointless type of question instead of looking for the answer himself.

If we talk about some forum contests, it seems to me that the winner keeps the badges permanently, and the others get them temporarily, while for some other badges the status is permanent.

@gmaxwell has a badge called "Bitcoin expert" and there is no doubt that it is something permanent, although I have to admit that @achow101 seems to have had a badge in the past that I can't see now (Bitcoin-Qt core developer). It is possible that (like some other things) badges can be removed on request.

I dont think you will find something like that where you will be able to know how many forum members have badges. Many of thr forum members have badges when they have done something for the forum and others got it from joining contest. As others have said, that's the only thing you can do which is to check each profile that has badge and then count it until you will no longer find a forum member that have badge.

[PX-Z]

If theymos do extract those infor from forum's database and make it public, sure it will but as of the moment, there's no info like that. So you have to find them manually.

Yeah, achow101 had a badge at one point. I have to ask though, was the Bitcoin expert badge too through a contest or just a recognition that one is a very active bitcoin developer?

like this:
               
this one i found rare:

Is there nothing else to do with your spare moment?
How could you think of searching for members who has badges, and if I may asked is there anything or any sampling you wanna use them for?
Sometimes I hardly see such topic created mostly and if I may guess correctly, I have came across just few user which I didn't care to take records of their names.

Then I was partly right, because it seemed to me that he had a different badge, and I'm pretty sure that one of those old and experienced members had a Bitcoin-Qt core developer badge.

I am not aware that such a contest has ever existed, and the only logical explanation is that the admin made it as a small recognition for some members who deserve it for a certain contribution in the development of Bitcoin.

The link to their list is in Forum ranks/positions/badges under Badges.

Is there also a badge for members who have reported valid security bugs here in past? Is record of such data kept here ?

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

You can not find them by searching because in forum, you only have following options with Member Search.

Search by email address
Search by messenger nickname
Search by position
Search by name
Search by website

I try to search Badges by "Search by position" but it does not work.

Everything you listed is dead end. Badges are not a positions and neither is it anything, it just a random emoji/icon attached to some profile. Don't lose sleep on it.

The fact is that these are mostly old members, so you need to dig very deep, considering that members with such badges are mostly inactive for a very long time. Sometimes an old topic appears on the surface in which members with such badges can be found.

One of the examples is this very topic -> NSA and ECC and this one -> Thoughts on type safety and crypto RNGs

Btw i got more time in my sleeve and  here are some existing badges too. The pizza contest and art contest too.



Here are the people who wear these badges, im not so sure if they are more people wearing them.

The pizza badge:
fillippone
petulino
Ale88
mendace

Art badge:
dannybrown
Yatsan
Corrosive
Kalemder
taufik123

Those who contribute to this forum basically get such batch in their profile. This type of batch is usually provided to distinguish between normal users and important users of the forum. 

If you enter the below link it will be clear what is the difference between profile batch of general users and profile batch of important users.

It is possible that (like some other things) badges can be removed on request.

It can be removed by personal request or community request like Bitcoin developer @lukedashjr's wallet was hacked.

After that hack, theymos removed the Staff position of Luke Dash Jr. account in Bitcointalk.

cafter can find more special badged users from [Interviews] with Bitcointalk members.

[DYING_S0UL]

There is no way to check that automatically. You have to check one by one. BTW you missed some badges like pizza competition & art competition.

[dzungmobile]

Badges for Pizza contests are temporary, not permament. Winners of this year Pizza contest have to defend to maintain their badges in a next year contest, if no change in Pizza contest rules.

Artist badges (permanent) for 5 winners of 10th year anniversary of Bicointalk.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.0

I did not see the post of PX-Z (no reference link so my post looks acceptable with additional information) but by the way, notice difference between temporary and (likely) permanent badges for Pizza Chief and Artist.

With Pizza badges, OP has to update it each year if the contest is going to be hosted yearly in future.

Is there also a badge for members who have reported valid security bugs here in past? Is record of such data kept here ?

Yeah, there is one profile I have seen from about 10 years ago with the badge, forgot the username.

There is also a badge for Bitcoin Core developers - jgarzik still has one (despite quitting Bitcoin Core ages ago), and gmaxwell also had one until a couple years ago.

@gmaxwell has a badge called "Bitcoin expert" and there is no doubt that it is something permanent, although I have to admit that @achow101 seems to have had a badge in the past that I can't see now (Bitcoin-Qt core developer).

Bitcoin expert badge is basically for people who know so much Bitcoin that they could rewrite the protocol from scratch (without internet access too, I guess).

[dzungmobile]

Is this user NLNico?
yahoo62278 asked about NLNico three months ago. Not sure the user is still alive.

NLNico has a thread Overview of Bug Bounty Programs for Bitcoins. Some bug bounties have up to 100 BTC reward.
