o_e_l_e_o's 100 Most Merited Posts

[Pmalek]

Leo once sent me a DM, saying some nice things about me. I will obviously not share the DM, but, I mean... this is one of the greatest gifts I have ever got in this forum.

We exchanged very few DMs on Bitcointalk. I saw his Farewell thread very late and by the time I contacted him for a final goodbye, he was already gone.

Also I wonder, are these truly the Top 100 based on Merits?

The list is based on DdmrDdmr's Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard. You can see a user's most merited posts from the Most Merited Posts/Threads tab. I omitted posts that were off-topic in the sense that they were not about Bitcoin or the forum. Leo had several high-merit posts in Politics & Society and Off-topic. Some were about the COVID vaccines. There is one thread he created on 1 April which was about forming a new gang based on IQ levels. I didn't include those and some others because I only wanted to fill the list with Bitcoin and forum-related posts.

I thought of it a sign of respect you didn't add his farewell post as it's too famous to be omitted.

As I said to PrivacyG, I intentionally left out certain types of posts. The Farewell thread actually has 2 posts that are in his top 100 most merited, but I didn't think it should be part of my collection.

After a few cross check which validates you spent lots of hours on this post, I was able to single out a post of O_e_l_e_o that deserves to be on this list:

New new ultimate guide to ranking up as fast as possible (MODERATOR IN 7 WEEKS)

A post he made on April fool day, basically a sarcastic way to rank up in the forum

I didn't include that either precisely for its sarcastic nature. There is nothing wrong with it, though.

I know, nobody is perfect in this world because sometimes we make mistakes to learn to impact other people so that they can grow higher in the future which is what o_e_l_e_o_'o_s did in this community, I think o_e_l_e_o'_s deserve to be celebrated in this community because his impact is what is keeping many people in this community today, farewell mentor, may his gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

It was so painful to me seeing that he is no more around this forum, losing a knowledgeable and reputable member like o_e_l_e_o same as Lighter_warrior, these two soul was a something else to the forum and I believed forum will ever miss them. Back o_e_l_e_o I can also remember then going through his post on his profile gives me a lot of lift although I wasn't that technical enough to understand some of the things but it got to open my eyes through his writings including the kind of wallet i can keep holding my coin,- in all, also learned about security and privacy, words alone can't expressed the full embodiment of his knowledge towards him.

Although I didn't get a chance to learn from him (o_e_l_e_o). I joined this forum a few days after his chapter ended, it's very sad for me that I didn't have the chance to take advice from a wise man like him.

I have been reading some of his (o_e_l_e_o) posts for the past 2 hours trying to learn from some of his phrases. Even if he is not present among us, we can gain knowledge by studying his writings. By studying his writings, we can keep him alive in our hearts forever.

@Pmalek boss, thank you very much. To introduce a legend like him (o_e_l_e_o) to us. Those who came to this forum after he (o_e_l_e_o) passed away, may recognize @o_e_l_e_o sir from your presentation.

Thank you for making this thread, Pmalek. I noticed his absence, but wasn't aware of his passing until now. Rest in peace, Leo.

Leo might have left the forum but his contribution will live on. Glad we have access to his posts/responses and for people like me that are still starting the technical aspect of Bitcoin, it will be a rare privilege to have such resources available for free. Another good thing is that he has made a lot of people here who will be able to help those coming behind, so I believe there will be continuity in the forum and people willing to give back the same measure of knowledge they got from him. Although, learning from the source gives a different vibes, but it is unfortunate he has to leave. He will always be missed!

Thank you, Pmalek, for your contributions to the forum. I'm saddened by how our respected member left, and I pray for his well-being. If he's with us, may he be blessed with good health. If not, may he find peace in the after life

Despite my short time here, I've been astounded by this forum's wealth of knowledge and wisdom. It's a joy to be part of this community, and I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Sadly, such a dedicated person has left the forum. Forums are much better when dedicated people are in the forum. However, no one lives forever, and neither will I nor you; we will have to say goodbye forever, and it is hard to accept that there is nothing we can do.

Since he was very dedicated and honorable, there was no one else in the forum like him, so his last three departures have been an exciting day for this forum.

Very good topic. One of the most valuable things that exist is knowledge, bringing together this entire collection in one place is truly a work that deserves to be read by as many people as possible.

Thanks.
