Bitcointalk Community Awards is a great opportunity for us to express our appreciation to those special people who are doing their best for their community, and for the impact they have on the forum .... this is what we said for 4 years in a row.

	Custom title	Description of the Nomination
	Hero of Good	The award is given to the informal leader! This person has dedicated many years to serving the community and left an indelible legacy, a person whose name embodies the true spirit of the cypherpunk. The departed heroes also deserve this award!
	Forum Ninja	The award is presented to the participant whose name symbolizes trust and wisdom. There have always been users on the forum who stand out from the crowd in writing style and objectivity, those whose activity seems omnipresent and those without whom you cannot imagine Bitcointalk.
	Bitcoin Geek	The award is given to the participant who you felt was the most helpful in the Bitcoin-related areas. Tell us which of your acquaintances is passionate about Bitcoin to the extreme, who can easily explain to you such nuances that you did not even know about or who simply chose a ASIC for your grandmother.
	Best Event	What event had the biggest impact on you? This nomination is a tribute to the most notable events in the crypto community or the most significant for you personally. This is the fifth annual award, you can only nominate and vote for all significant events of 2024.
	Best Project	We are talking about a business or any project presented on Bitcointalk.
	Discovery of the Year	Perhaps one of the most unexpected but at the same time iconic categories, which shows that the forum is alive. The award is presented not only to novice Bitcoiners, but also to other users who have been actively participating in the life of the forum over the past year ... heck, you can even nominate your best Bitcointalk friend!
	Help Buster	The award is given to an outstanding volunteer working exclusively for the benefit of the community. He adheres to a fairly strict moral code, is a role model, and consistently demonstrates unstoppable enthusiasm for helping newcomers, reporting, detecting scammers, or stopping AI activity.
	Craft Master	The award is presented to those who sincerely love their craft, whether it is a professional activity or a hobby. We tend to think that this award is best suited to the most significant figure among collectors, managers, escrows, designers or users who are so passionate about sports and p2p that they motivate others to bets solely in BTC.
	Local Hero	Want to vote for your friends? Great! We know that many users do not go beyond their local sections, so we would like to know whose names represent this or that community. Well, let's see whose local community is the most united?
	Miss Bitcointalk	Although girls are now in the minority on Bitcointalk, 5 to 1, they are still wonderful, interesting and important to us. I understand that choosing three winners from among all our beautiful girls is problematic, but still we will try. Who do you think especially deserves to be Miss Bitcointalk?

Code:

Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o, El duderino_

In the past year, only o_e_l_e_o's name comes to my mind. Do you think merits are given for nothing? Just look at his post history and you will understand why I thought of him (even though some of them are a bit controversial in my opinion). In fact, El duderino_ deserves this nomination for other reasons as well. He has been a true Bitcoiner for years, and when I reread the description of the "Hero of Good" nomination, I can't help but think of him.

Code:

Forum Ninja: paid2, examplens, JayJuanGee

Paid2, examplens, JayJuanGee ... these three move between the threads like real ninja virtuosos and in my opinion the description of the nomination "stand out from the crowd" subtly hints at their ability to make a bright positive impression on a large number of people as well as the charisma and mindset of these guys.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: igor72

Do you know how to encrypt your private keys in the blockchain? I didn't know until I read the thread created by igor72. I see him every day explaining the basics of bitcoin to newbies and doing a lot of what this forum was created for. To me, this guy is not just a regular on the forum, he is a Bitcoin Geek.

Code:

Best Event

[1] Will be filled later.
[2] Will be filled later.
[3] Will be filled later.

Code:

Best Project: eXch, BC.Game, Whale

[1] eXch, donated over $200,000 dollars to non-profit initiatives in the past year!
[2] BC.Game, a project that probably supported 80% of all non-profit initiatives here over the past year.
[3] Whale, without a doubt the most promising project of all recently presented here on the forum.

Code:

Discovery of the Year

[1] Will be filled later.
[2] Will be filled later.
[3] Will be filled later.

Code:

Help Buster: holydarkness

holydarkness, The first name that comes to my mind when the topic concerns help to someone.

Code:

Craft Master: Trofo & cryptofrka, krogothmanhattan

[1] Krogothmanhattan, is just a crazy dude who behaves like a ninja in the collecting section.  

[2] Trofo & cryptofrka are legends of the gambling section and they brilliantly cope with all the obligations they take on. In particular, I want to note that the Fanatics League (BSFL) they created requires so much time from the participants that I can’t imagine how much time they have to spend on management.

Code:

Local Hero: Satscraper, Smartprofit, Julien_Olynpic

I won't single out anyone in particular, but in my humble opinion I can say that Satscraper, Smartprofit and Julien_Olynpic are responsible for almost the entire Russian-speaking section. These users keep all active sections in good shape, publish detailed answers and always come to the rescue when needed.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup, Etranger

[1] Foxpup for me is undoubtedly the personification of a strong and self-confident woman who clearly understands what she wants, knows how to separate the important from the unimportant and for many years has kept a group of alcoholics from the "merit cycling club" in check.
[1] Etranger is another representative of the female sex, whose characteristic feature is inexhaustible energy and optimism.

Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o

What to say about o_e_l_e_o's contribution to the forum? I always enjoyed reading his posts. Leo is a true Bitcoiner and has helped the forum in many ways.

Code:

Forum Ninja: paid2, LoyceV, GazetaBitcoin

Paid2 - I give paid2 my vote, because I believe their contribution is superb, especially with the raffles they organize, their support on open-source projects and their help on voluntary signature campaigns.
LoyceV - Well, LoyceV has created too many good threads to support forum members. He has helped a lot with fee management, coins recovery, custom backup solutions and more.
GazetaBitcoin - Travelling around the forum's threads, his eyes watch every area of this forum. Incredibly talented in statistics, super strong with memory.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: nc50lc, pooya87, BlackHatCoiner

nc50lc - Well, I like their posts because they are very easy to understand even without being too technically savvy. Has a unique way to share knowledge about Bitcoin.
pooya87 - I like this guy. He's very knowledgeable and his responses are thoroughly explained.
BlackHatCoiner - Great knowledge, great asset, deserves the vote.

Code:

Best Event: Pie Baking Contest, eXch Cryptosteel raffles

Pie Baking Contest - Not much to say! I loved it and I sponsored it. Great contest with massive participation.
eXch Cryptosteele raffles - Bitcoiners have one job. To secure their private keys. eXch and cryptosteel co-operated and with the help of icopress and paid2 made free raffles for cryptosteel capsules. Brilliant!

eXch - The best exchange in the world.
OrangeFren - Great online directory for instant exchanges, atomic swaps, P2P exchanges.
PeachBitcoin - It's great to buy and sell bitcoin online without KYC, isn't it?

Code:

Discovery of the Year: PowerGlove

PowerGlove - He is not a new member, but my correspondence with him started in 2024. He is brilliant and his merit accumulation signals that he is a valuable member of this forum. I love his contribution and patches on SMF.

Code:

Help Buster: icopress, paid2

icopress - A great campaign manager with a big contribution on various aspects of the forum.
paid2 - For me, paid2 is a great forum member who has helped this community a lot. Hence the vote!

Code:

Craft Master: krogothmanhattan, 1Dq

krogothmanhattan - I am not really into collectibles, but I am surprised how much everyone trusts krogothmanhattan. I 've seen great collectibles in their posts, with brilliant aesthetic and reasonable prices. Not to mention the giveaways!
1Dq - Lovely paintings mate! Adorable!

Code:

Local Hero: BlackHatCoiner

BlackHatCoiner - He is a valuable member of the forum and also active in the local board. I won't lie here, I don't frequent a lot on the local board, but almost every time I do, he has already posted there.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup, lovesmayfamilis

Foxpup - Not a lot to say. Foxpup cares about the forum more than everyone. The group she has created includes the elite of the forum's members. But it's not just that, she has been very supportive and a true bitcoiner.
lovesmayfamilis - We never had the chance to communicate a lot, but she seems to be a very good forum member.

Our miss of the Portuguese board, without further ado, just search for Disruptivas on social media and see what I'm talking about.

[paid2]

Code:

Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o

Just because o_e_l_e_o is the definition of "This person has dedicated many years to serving the community and left an indelible legacy".

Code:

Forum Ninja: LoyceV, GazetaBitcoin, examplens

LoyceV and examplens are hyperactive, I enjoy reading their posts and replies, which always have their distinctive style. LoyceV posted some very interesting threads, and offers many services to the forum. Both are incredible assets of this forum.
GazetaBitcoin is everywhere he can be useful to the community: he is active in his local section, is very proactive and a great translator in AOBT (Alliance of Bitcointalk Translators), he supports open source projects, produced great threads and manages dozens of translations of his threads brilliantly. This is also one of the few members who made me laugh on the forum!

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: mikeywith

mikeywith is probably the most efficient and responsive user when it comes to providing assistance and expertise in the Mining section. His posts are among my favorite to read, as they are always accurate while remaining accessible.

Code:

Best Event: Bitcoin pizza bake-off

I love pizza, so it was fun to take part in this contest and see other people's creations. Plus, the prizes were great! It was my first time participating, and hope to have the time to do it again in the future!

Code:

Best Project: eXch, Peach Bitcoin, OrangeFren

[1] eXch is the first project I think of when I'm looking for the best forum project. It's reliable, efficient and regularly donates to privacy-friendly projects. eXch's admin often publishes relevant and useful content.
[2] Peach Bitcoin, is still too underrated on the forum, they offer a quality app that connects different parties for P2P BTC transactions.
[3] OrangeFren, is a non-KYC exchanges aggregator. OrangeFren listens to suggestions made on the forum, helps many users in disputes with exchanges/offers free insurances to protect exchanges users, and organizes many meet ups. He had to be on my list.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: xtests

xtests posts quality, detailed and accurate messages. His posts in Exchanges/Services are always useful, for anyone interested in the subject of CEX / services. He has a unique style which is great to read.

Code:

Help Buster: holydarkness

holydarkness is doing a great job by acting as an intermediary between forum users and casino supports, we are lucky to have access to such a service so quickly on the forum!

Code:

Craft Master: icopress, willi9974, krogothmanhattan

[1] icopress is more than a dedicated member and manager. He even paid campaign participants from his own funds multiple times over when companies have defaulted/were late. He has very good business ethics, tries to find new places for his participants at the end of a campaign, and is someone who contributes enormously to our community (this thread in which this message is posted is just one example among plenty of others).
[2] willi9974 organizes a lot of great things over the years, helping to keep a warm spirit alive among small solo miners. After years of organizing Blockparties (and smoothly paying dozens of BTC to participants!), he now manages a small pool of solo miners on the forum.
[3] krogothmanhattan organized hundreds and hundreds of free raffles, is a friendly and organized user, a monument of the Collectibles section.

Code:

Local Hero: Saint-loup, Danydee

Saint-loup shares interesting points of view on crypto news, and is a major/constant contributor to the life of the FR local section. Danydee brings his freedom and activity, making the FR local less monotonous.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: Becassine, Foxpup

Becassine offers interesting discussions in my local section, organizes great contests (by the way.. when's the next one? ) and brings energy that is most welcome!
Foxpup contributes to the life of the forum and wrote what is probably the classiest first post on the forum.

[ibminer]

Code:

Hero of Good: theymos, o_e_l_e_o, Phinnaeus Gage

[1] theymos I'm not sure it needs explaining but I believe he embodies a true cypherpunk spirit in my mind, and I believe he understands the true purpose of Bitcoin.
[2] o_e_l_e_o also embodied a cypherpunk spirit and he has left a giant mark on the forum and touched many people, he should be up here.
[3] Phinnaeus Gage was one of my heros from the past and was dedicated to bitcoin and this community for many years, I really miss reading his posts and interacting with him.

Code:

Forum Ninja: suchmoon, LoyceV, The Sceptical Chymist

[1] suchmoon embodies what I would see as trust & wisdom on the forum, he's shown his wisdom publicly and privately and I completely trust him.
[2] LoyceV is all over the place, providing concise replies that get straight to good points, offering advice, and continually keeping his stat threads updated to help others, I couldn't imagine what the forum would be like without him.
[3] It's hard to imagine not seeing the responses from The Sceptical Chymist on the forum, many times I read a topic and think of responding, only to find that he's generally already said what I was thinking. I still see his previous alias (which I won't mention) when reading his posts, and more times than not, I end up agreeing with him.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: nc50lc, DannyHamilton

[1][2] These two exude what a BTC geek is, they know their stuff, and they help people out, just check out their posts.

Code:

Best Event: The 4th Bitcoin Halving, BTC reaches 100K USD, Pumpkin Carving Contest

[1] The 4th halving marks a notable event which, one way or the other, has impacted crypto enthusiasts around the world.
[2] Bitcoin broke 100K USD in 2024, which overall marked a pretty significant event in the crypto community.
[3] I don't get to participate in many events but the pumpkin carving contest was one of my favorites, seeing some of the cool stuff created, and Halloween being my 2nd favorite holiday, this pops in my head.

Code:

Best Project: Bitcoin Forum “METAVERSE”, 2024 Halvening Playing Cards, Bitcoin history book

[1] Created by 1Dq, the metaverse collective group effort was an interesting and cool way to depict the forum and included several areas of the forum in it. Overall, the effort put in was impressive and a large undertaking by 1Dq and he should be commended.
[2] The Halvening cards featuring bitcointalk users had a big impact on me personally. It is the first product I've created of its kind and enabled me to interact with a cool group of people in the collectibles area that I had not been very familiar with previously. While I don't expect to win any awards here, it was a lengthy process to get there and I'm happy the way they turned out, and excited to continue them (and more) in the future.
[3] Created by user Tyke, the Bitcoin history book is a cool project that was published last year. I haven't read through it all yet, but it looks to have been done well and obviously includes many references to the forum. Another large undertaking that I think should be commended.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: PowerGlove, JayJuanGee

[1] PowerGlove has continued his legacy throughout 2024 both publicly and privately and has become a good friend, I'm looking forward to another great year.
[2] In the past I've had to skip over most of what JJG posts, but as I've found out throughout the past year, once you get through some of the elaboration and abrasiveness, he can sometimes make worthwhile points. Plus, being one of the only active neutral/objective merit sources I think we have, he deserves an award.

Code:

Help Buster: nutildah, Cyrus

[1] Amongst other positive contributions in the scam and spam busting arena, nutildah is doing his best to fight AI at a time when imo the forum really needs it.
[2] Outside of the other stuff he engages in on the forum, Cyrus has always appeared to me as one of the more objective and fair mods, who continually works to handle user reports and clean up the forum, just as important, he seems willing to answer questions when discrepencies arise.

Code:

Craft Master: krogothmanhattan, PowerGlove, joker_josue

[1] Between orange pills, new coins, cool art, raw transactions, and free raffles, krogoth comes up with some interesting ideas in the collectibles space and is trying to help bitcoin overall.
[2] Although "developer" was not part of this description, PowerGlove has helped with many significant changes on the forum, both publicly and behind the scenes, he's a great developer and has a good head on his shoulders... definitely a master of his craft.
[3] joker_josue developed and designed TalkImg, a bitcointalk image hosting service, which he has managed to keep going through attacks and various obstacles, and he still continues to improve it, not an easy task imo and he should be commended.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup

[1] With practically no girls on this forum, this seems obvious, without foxpup we wouldn't have any vag art... plus I just like fox pups.

Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o, philipma1957, light_warrior

• Dear user o_e_l_e_o was someone incredible for this community. He supports and has accomplished many good things for this forum. It was sad that we received the news that he would withdraw from the forum for health reasons. This was a year ago, but I haven't forgotten it.
• One of the oldest users on the forum, philipma1957 has also dedicated a lot of his time to this community. Within your specialty, the work you do is very positive. The award would also be well deserved.
• It is with sadness that we no longer have light_warrior with us, but he has always been an extremely useful member of the entire community. It is excellent recognition for all your work.

Code:

Forum Ninja: LoyceV, theymos, yahoo62278

• If the vote is for those who symbolize trust, LoyceV has to take my vote. It belongs to the users, who, based on their experience on the forum, are able to transmit knowledge in almost all aspects. For me, he is someone I can trust.
• Maybe a somewhat obvious choice, but if we can't trust theymos, who do we trust? For all the work done to maintain this forum, which continues to be 15 years after being created by master Satoshi, it is a well-deserved award.
• Despite not being one of the users, with whom I interact the most, whenever I see the name yahoo62278, I feel it is associated with trust.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: RickDeckard, Pmalek, FP91G

• I see RickDeckard as someone with good technical knowledge and more about Bitcoin. I believe there are other very good users for this category, but my choice falls on who I interact with most frequently.
• I believe that Pmalek is someone capable of helping in several areas related to Bitcoin. At least, that's what I see with some frequency from him.
• I think FP91G is a guy who understands a lot about mining, and always tries to help a lot (at least) in this field.

Code:

Best Event: Bitcoin Pizza Day, Pumpkin Contest, The BITCOIN FORUM METAVERSE Art Project

• One of the events he enjoyed most is Bitcoin Pizza Day. Even though I haven't had the opportunity to participate yet, I always find it a lot of fun.
• I think the Pumpkin Contest was one of the most successful events than the BitcoinTalk forum in 2024. A large number of participations and work well done.
• I have to highlight The BITCOIN FORUM METAVERSE Art Project where the entire community can participate in the artistic process of a work of art, dedicated to the forum and Bitcoin. Together, it was possible to develop an idea, which the artist was able to put on canvas.

Code:

Best Project: PeachBitcoin, TalkImg, ninjastic.space

• Even though the project is almost 2 years old, I think PeachBitcoin is becoming increasingly relevant in the BitcoinTalk community and beyond. It will be one of the projects I would highlight this year.
• I don't want to be here promoting my project, but TalkImg continues to be a project, which I believe is very useful for this community.
• I believe that ninjastic.space continues to be one of the most useful projects for BitcoinTalk, which is why it deserves my mention.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: 1Dq, Forsyth Jones, criptoevangelista

• I didn't have the opportunity to follow 1Dq previous work, so for me this was the biggest discovery of the year. His artistic work is incredible, I just have to congratulate him.
• Looking a little at my local board, I have to highlight Forsyth Jones, who has made an excellent contribution over the last year.
• Also from my local board we have criptoevangelista who is one of the newest and most active members.

Code:

Help Buster: PowerGlove, Rikafip, DdmrDdmr

• I think we all have something to thank PowerGlove for their excellent contributions to improving the forum.
• I believe that almost no one remains indifferent to Rikafip reports. An incredible effort has been made to compile data on the community's performance every month.
• I have seen DdmrDdmr contributions as a great effort to keep this community dynamic and positive.

Code:

Craft Master: buwaytress, Trofo, 1Dq

• The commitment that buwaytress has shown in developing the prize pools has been a very positive work.
• The work done by Trofo to keep its tournaments well organized is also excellent.
• I didn't want to repeat users in several categories, but the way 1Dq carried out its artistic work is worth highlighting. He involved the entire community in building his work, and that is incredible.

Code:

Local Hero: Paredao, bitmover, sabotag3x

• Difficult category, because we can't vote for everyone. Having to highlight just a few, I'll start with Paredao. He is on this journey at the same time as me, and we have some ideas in common. In addition to being promised lunch when he visits Portugal.
• We also have bitmover, who, despite being very accurate, seems like a really cool guy to me.
• The third choice goes to sabotag3x, who has been a member who promotes good debates on our board. Sorry to everyone else I didn't choose.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: Disruptivas

• For this category I can only choose one name, Disruptivas. The only user that I am 100% sure is a woman. Despite being less active on the forum in 2024, she continues to be a huge enthusiast of Bitcoin and our community.

Code:

Best Event: US election, Pumpkin Contest

US Election We all agree that these elections had a huge influence on the Bitcoin and crypto markets because POTUS showed public support(endorsement) of this asset class which allowed markets to register new all time highs and the momentum still exists.

Pumpkin Contest this is one of those activities that brings the forum together and showcases the artistic side of Bitcoin which is a big score.

Help Buster: holydarkness

holydarkness I have always wondered if HD is a gambler himself based on the dedication his shown  when deliberating issues between users and the casino. But all in all he does facilitate a fair outcome is reached between  the two parties,  which makes him a gem on the forum . Happy to have crossed paths.

Code:

Craft Master: Cro2, taufik123

[1] Cro2  team cro2 have over the years crafted engaging sports campaigns for users on the forum to enjoy and looking at how much time is dedicated to this shows how much they love their sport and their contribution certainly can't go unnoticed because their work is no childs play.

[2] taufik123 certainly a craft master when it comes to carving that wood 🪵,  you deserve it mate.

Foxpup the undisputed Queen 👸 when it comes to this category as their contribution to the forum speaks for itself and am a fan

[SirJohnVonSlotty]

I'm not mingling my newbie ass a lot outside of Gambling and the Local Croatian Board, so I'm a bit biased, but here you go:

Code:

Hero of Good: LoyceV

[1] Enjoying his topics and posts since I started on the forum

Code:

Forum Ninja: dkbit98

[1] Constantly fighting for a better BTT, also enjoy his topics and posts

[examplens]

Not final...

Code:

Hero of Good: o_e_l_e_o,  

With due respect to many proven and influential forum members, this title will always belong to Leo.

Code:

Forum Ninja: Pmalek, icopress, JayJuanGee

Pmalek - this man exists in all parts of the forum, and he is always clear.
icopress - everything he does, in whatever way, well done. One of the users who pushes the forum forward.
JayJuanGee - Judging by the merits given, it is quite obvious that it appears in almost all threads on the forums. One of the best examples of how a merit source should use such an opportunity.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: ABCbits, nc50lc, pooya87

ABCbits, nc50lc, pooya87 I don't think I need to explain much about these members, although for this category it's a hard choice because it's impossible to narrow down the selection to just three members.

Code:

Best Event: bc.game  

bc.game which paid out $7 million winnings, and after all, user @justincase78 rewarded 7 members with $7k who helped solve the issue $7,000,000 @ BC.Game (2500+ ETH) [SOLVED LIKE A BOSS]

Code:

Best Project: eXch, talkimg

eXch - the service that currently best represents all Bitcoin values
Talkimg - talkimg was offline for a few days due to a DDoS attack, and that's when we best saw the importance of this service for the daily use of the forum.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: bitlist.co, BitMixList.org

bitlist.co
BitMixList.org
Both sites were launched to facilitate the use and monitoring of certain services. Since both are backed by reputable members of this forum, I think they deserve at least some attention.

Code:

Help Buster: holydarkness, logfiles

holydarkness - He is somehow the silent hero of many scam complaints, I see him in almost every topic, and not infrequently he even mediates in solving the problem.
logfiles - As usual, always precise and fair, I rarely have anything to add to his statements.

Code:

Craft Master: Trofo, icopress

Trofo - His commitment to what he does in the gambling section is obvious. I should probably add cryptofrka as well since they cohabit very successfully together.
icopress - I'm in his campaigns for the first time in 2024. Because of his dedication, I wasn't sure if he was part of the team of the company whose campaign he was leading.

Code:

Local Hero: SirJohnVonSlotty, slackovic

SirJohnVonSlotty - An excellent person, he improved the mood in the local board a lot. I am glad that he returned to the forum a little more actively, I hope that he will stay this time.
slackovic an indispensable member of the local Croatian board, a very important member for the preservation of activities there.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: SmartGold01

I don't know who to vote for here, I haven't seen anyone, not even in the picture. I remember that someone nominated yahoo62278 earlier, but I still wouldn't do it now, not even for fun, maybe someone will interpret the joke in the wrong way.
SmartGold01 I will still vote for SmartGold01, we had a discussion after which I remained convinced that she is a girl. It was interesting, hence my choice.

[Hhampuz]

Code:

Hero of Good - o_e_l_e_o

For obvious reasons this is the only vote both in previous years but especially this time around. The impact created by one user that transcends both time and market sentiment is unmatched.

Code:

Forum Ninja - LoyceV

About as obvious as my first nominee. You simply cannot picture this forum without someone like LoyceV who has dedicated time, effort and money to help everyone else - at no expected benefit to themselves. Unparalleled dedication and a huge inspiration for me.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek - PowerGlove

Although I don't know PowerGlove too well I've had multiple conversations with them where it was clear that we are not the same. PowerGlove operates with a level of understanding that is above anyone elses and I have both learned from and aspired to be more like them.

Code:

Best Event - TBD

Code:

Best Project - TBD

Code:

Help Buster - JollyGood

I may be a bit biased here as I've come to know JollyGood pretty well over the years. Whenever something is going on or if I need any help with connecting the dots he is there and it's invaluable to have a friend like that in your corner, especially when they have a good head on their shoulders.

Code:

Craft Master - Jayce

The easiest vote for me. Dating back to 2017 or so I have worked closely with jayce on any and all of my projects. He is always there when I need him and he always, ALWAYS, deliver top notch quality. Simply unmatched. Without Jayce there is no Hhampuz Management service at bitcointalk, I owe a lot of my success to him and will forever be indebted.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk - Foxpup

Besides being incredibly on point and time paying for the merit cycling club over the span of years she is the only one (confirmed) to be in the running for this title.
