As we use this forum and see it! Theymos is our awesome admin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35But i always thought that Theymos created the forum and continued to develop it so well! Seeing this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.0Satoshi welcome's everyone to new forum , dumping up the old one . My question is who exactly created the forum  I always thought it was Theymos , but it seems Satoshi was original creator of this forum. Then how did Theymos got his admin post , did satoshi appoint him as being one of the early adopter's ? PS : that is the first post for General people though there were 4 more theads for testing by satoshi https://bitcointalk.org/first_topics/Thanks to theymos for providing this to us . It got some really awesome and great things  |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Satoshi did.
He handed it off to Theymos quite quickly though.

Check this thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881877.0. If I'm not wrong, it is Sirius and theymos. |
So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

I am not sure how theymos became administrator of the forum, however he is one of the very early users of bitcointalk.

I'm not sure of the particulars but I heard there was a sizable donation of coins to this forum for its operation to some extent.  Sounds like a very interesting timeline tho. I'd like to hear Theymos' opinions of the Bitcoin market up to this point, not sure I've ever been graced with this person's presence.  Would be like a mystery unfolding.. |

As i am seeing it's really exciting to find this , Theymos says in his old posts as the link provided by JackthiKing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881877.0That he heard it first on 4chan Would really be awesome if he can write how it all happened, how he became a admin Would be like a legend , from a simple man to the admin of Bitcointalk  |

Back in 2011 theymos was solicating donations for people to donate 10 BTC to get a special 'donator' status, and 50 BTC to get a special 'VIP' status. Several people donated, enough so that the forum received over 5,000 BTC that was to be used to host the forum (which is now free curtsy of Private Internet Access) and to upgrade the forum software |

The story of how I became head admin is actually pretty boring. Moderators were needed, so I was made a global moderator. Then admins were needed, so I was made an admin. Then over time the other admins slowly lost interest and resigned until I was the only one left. I guess most of the people who were around here to see this have more-or-less left the community now. That's a bit sad.
It's not entirely clear, but for simplicity I usually say that I became head admin at the beginning of 2011, a little over a year after the forum was created.
The forum was originally located at bitcoin.org/smf, then forum.bitcoin.org (hence the redirect), and finally bitcointalk.org. Fun fact: The name "bitcointalk" was invented by Jeff Garzik, and he's the one who bought the domain.
