[icopress]

Is this until end of February @icopress? Since you said 60 days, I wasn't sure. Going to submit today (Monday) evening.

Yes, there are six full days left (until the end of February). I created the thread before I moved it here from the archive (it was there for creating bbcode, cross-links, etc.... in short, I needed an anchor thread). So the end of February is a suitable deadline.

[Proty]

Code:

Hero of Good: - Satoshi Nakamoto 

This award should go to no other person than satoshi nakamoto for his immense contribution and effort that he has put in by gifting the world a precious gift like bitcoin.

Code:

Forum Ninja:  - Jayjayjaungee 

He has proven to be one of the most active members in the forum that has enlighten so many members especially newbies about bitcoin and how the ecosystem works.His most relevant in bitcoin discussion and bitcoin related topics . His posting pattern is very unique, well structured and educating.He has built a presence for himself in the forum that he would be greatly miss by many  if he decides to leave the forum one day. For this reason he deserves the award of forum ninja

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: -Jayjayguangee

Am still nominating jayjayjuangee for this award because he has been very helpful in bitcoin related issues. The way he takes time to break down bitcoin concepts with concrete examples, it becomes more easier for newbies and other forum members to understand.
He also guides members on how to go about there bitcoin investment and the best investment practices. So I do think he truly deserves this award .

Code:

Hero of Good: - Theymos, LoyceV, DdmrDdmr

The top three most influential people on this forum

• Theymos - One of the highest rights holders on this forum
• LoyceV - The largest data holder of this forum
• DdmrDdmr - When he launches the Merit Airdrop there will be many users able to receive merit from him.

Code:

Forum Ninja: - LoyceV, TryNinja

These two people present a very useful site that makes my job a lot easier

• LoyceV - with https://loyce.club/
• TryNinja - with https://bitlist.co/search

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: - ABCbits

• ABCbits - I think he's very knowledgeable on technical topics, so when a user writes something wrong he jots it down in his Thread on the Reputation board

Code:

Best Event: - Bitcointalk Community Awards

• Bitcointalk Community Awards - this event is not only about great prizes, but also notes valuable forum contributors.

• lovesmayfamilis - Brave Woman, of all she does like reporting junk posts, makes me like her character.
• SatoPrincess - Calm Woman, a chronological series of what happened on this forum throughout 2025, impressed me.

[Yablee0]

Code:

Hero of Good: - Satoshi, Theymos 

 Satoshi: The brain behind the invention why we are all here, because if not him, we all wouldn't have been here discussing anything.

Theymos: the administrative leaders that tries to carry everyone along by listening to the ideas and opinion of the community members before making or implementing any thing in the forum, and most especially, he loves the forum more than most of us here think, and we can see it in his decisions.

Code:

Forum Ninja:  jayjuangee, Fillippone-

Jayjuangee: with his unique writing style of covering everywhere with a wall of text, you will always understand everything you need to know, even to the most little details, because his teachings on Bitcoin is the best, and is second to none.

Fillippone: a man I respect so much because his words and the way he makes things easy for newbies that knows nothing about Bitcoin is immense, which I think should not be swept under the carpet.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: jayjuangee, pooya-

Jayjuangee: just as I have already said, he is the best teacher to anything that gets to do with Bitcoin, and if you can follow him with an open heart that is willing to learn how to invest and accumulate Bitcoin consistently, he is the right person to put you through.

Pooya-: a man that is endowed with knowledge on Bitcoin and the technical side of it, that just by tracking his comments on Bitcoin and the every other thing he does in the forum will greatly impact you as a person, so he is my second pick after jayjuangee.

Code:

Best event: Naija cooking contest 2025/2026-

I really like how this contest went, and since it cooking was one of those things I love doing, it was definitely the contest I participated that I liked the most, so it's my pick for the best event.
Secondly, since it's was strictly Nigerian swallow, aka eeba, it makes the competition more African, that's why I take it as my best event of the year.

Code:

Help buster: lovesmayfamilis -

Lovesmayfamilis: she is very active in exposing cheaters in the forum, but why I choose her as the best is that she is the only buster that hardly makes false accusations, because she always do her underground work properly first, before coming out to point fingers, that's why I see her as the best.

Code:

Craft master: Hhampuz-

Hhampuz: most guys here might think that am choosing Hhampuz because he is my manager, but in reality he is very professional and a top manager that knows his job very well, so he is my pick for this category since he is the only one I have experienced working with since I came into this forum.

Code:

 Igebotz, Mia chloe, Cryptoprenuerbrainboss 

Igebotz: The face of the Nigerian local board, because if not for his activeness and commitment in aiding the growth of the local board, I wonder how the local board would have been, because his activeness in deleting spam post is top-notch.
Mia chloe: Mia chloe has really been helpful in recent time in the naija local board, and with greater responsibility on him, I believe that he is going to do very well more than what he is doing now because even with little resources, he is doing better expected.
Cryptoprenuerbrainboss : even though he is not that active quite of late, due to his poor health conditions, but anytime he comes online, you will always know and feel his presence due to how informative his post are, so I will always include him as one of my pick.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: lovesmayfamilis -

I don't know any lady in Bitcointalk that is better than her, because she is knowledgeable and really instrumental in keeping the forum clean from cheaters

[PowerGlove]

(Please forgive my laziness: there are many names that I thought to include, and many people that I think deserve more recognition than they get, but, I'm sometimes detail-oriented to a fault, and, combined with the energy-wise slump that I've been going through recently, I know that if I want to avoid overshooting the voting deadline then I need to limit myself to just a handful of nominations.)

Code:

Hero of Good: theymos

I've always liked theymos and his particular way of thinking. This community is very lucky IMO to have someone like him running things.

Code:

Forum Ninja: LoyceV, TryNinja

This category mentions "a member whose name symbolizes consistency", and I think that both these names score very high in that regard. They're always around and always adding value.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: gmaxwell

For some reason I've stopped hanging out on the D&T board, so I'm not up-to-date on what's been happening over there. But, back when I used to frequent (and back-read) it, I always really enjoyed parsing Greg's posts.

Code:

Best Event: The "mixer ban" being softened slightly

This one really cheered me up, and it gave me a bit of hope that the forum might someday find its way back to a more cypherpunk-compatible philosophy.

Code:

Best Project: BitList.co

I do still miss the old Ninjastic.space site, though. Just saying.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: TypoTonic

I haven't interacted with this user, but, I get good vibes from some of their posts (that is, they seem helpful, constructive, intelligent, and so on).

Code:

Help Buster: nutildah

I enjoy him and always find him to be doing what he can to push back against all the shitbirds trying to bleed this place dry.

Code:

Craft Master: ibminer

I really enjoyed working with him on Merit Poker, and besides leaning on him for all of the game's visual assets, I found him to be full of good ideas and helpful suggestions. He put a ton of effort into his collectible, and I think it turned out very well.

Code:

Local Hero: GazetaBitcoin

GB and I have done our fair share of vote-counting duties together, and he's always very pleasant to work with (and I always enjoy our little chats).

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: Foxpup

I mean... it's basically a forgone conclusion each year, isn't it? I wish that she was more active (because I mostly only get to enjoy her dry sense of humor by occasionally bumping into her old posts), but, in many ways she's indirectly present via the small corps of quality posters that she supports.
