It's great to finally see the results! And the surprise quiz was really something; too bad I sucked at it...
PS: I pm'd you on discrd what I believe are a couple or errors in the quiz

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks everyone who voted for me. Didn't expect to finish first as there are many more experienced scambusters around that are trying to make this forum a little bit safer for the others.

Regarding the quiz, I kinda expected that I will suck at this so it was no surprise that I had only 6/20. I haven't even heard about few things in the quiz before, but at least I learned a little bit of bitcointalk history.

it would be very cool if the symbols of the respective winner would be visible in the profile above or below from the avatar

I got 13 out of 20 although missed couple of one for mistake from your side. You must organize the quiz again.
By the way, I really personally didn't like the question about Quickseller there because it seems like a bit personal although I would agree it's a part of forum history; regardless of that, I guess it would be pretty good if you removed the question about him and replace with something else.

GazetaBitcoin, Thank you for your comment, if I honestly spent many hours on the design of the thread and looking for questions, and visibly fatigue affected my concentration. Regarding the second point, it seems to me that I am right, I found a quote from Theymos dated 2013, but I can not find a later post on this topic. ^{[I am sure that such a post exists]}

Confirmed: I suck as a Ninja.

Congrats to all the Winners also from me  !

And a thank you for all the Voters who have cast their vote here.
At the end we all are winners for contribute positive to the Forum , the one more and the others less .
We keep the community alive , keep it up all .

@icopress thanks

Don't know about others but you are one true Ninja for me.

As per the award description, Bitcointalk Ninja is someone who is creative and contributed exceptionally for the development of Bitcointalk. With no disrespect to LoyceV and Loyce Club, for me your Ninjastic Space and Super Notifier are superior to others.

So, you are the only Ninja literally and descriptively.

No award for thermos, that's criminal!

Yes, no worry, buddy. It is an overall impressive work you did here, with the contest, with the related topics, with the quiz... It's totally understandable.


Yes, I knew that comment theymos made in 2013, where he said that in 8 years he'll release Satoshi's IP. And I also remember a second post, where he said he changed his mind (can't find it either).

But the problems at the second question are the following (look at the picture again):
- "When did theymos promise he'll publish Satoshi's PMs and IP address?" Answers: 2021, 2025, 2040+, Never
- The description of the correct answer: "In 2013, Alex announced that he intends to publish Satoshi's PMs and IP addresses in ~8 years. But in 2018/19 he abandoned this idea, citing that these data would be of great historical interest only decades later".

First of all, that "Alex" name should be changed with "theymos".  His name is not Alex... And I don't know who can be this Alex
The second problem is with the answer itself. If theymos changed his mind and abandoned the idea of publishing Satoshi's PMs and IP, then, basically, the answer should be "Never". However, he stated after that this information would be of a great historic interest later. Later is not the same with never, but bear in mind that he still did not say a specific date (year 2045, 2060 etc.). Nor he said that he will ever post them... Being of historic interest decades later doesn't imply he will publish them (even decades later). Therefore, I think the correct answer should be "Other" (or "Another"), as nobody knows if theymos will disclose this information at all; and, if he will disclose after some "decades", nobody knows after how many decades. It can be after year 2030 or after 2040 or after 2050 and so on... Do you see my point here?
