Reasoning: theymos is the reason this place exists, so much hard work to keep this place running, without him there is no bitcointalk.org

achow101 and ABCbits are two of the most tech gifted and knowledgable posters on the forum, when they talk you listen. Both highly well educated on Bitcoin Core and the tech side of Bitcoin.


Reasoning: All 3 of them put so many hours into this place.


Reasoning: There are actually a few more I could have nominated for this category. It’s the one that is probably the most important imo. The 3 I named are the guys you need to talk to if you have a Bitcoin related question regarding Bitcoin Core and any tech related queries.




Reasoning: This poster is showing promise, I’ve only recently become aware of them.


Reasoning: Top class campaign manager, great guy.


Reasoning: Still catching dem hoes after all these years. Big asset to the community.


Reasoning: Top poster across multiple topics, very well thought of in the Nigerian boards but not just that, becoming an increasingly good poster in the main part of the forum. One to watch, I like him a lot.



Apologies I have left some of the award nominations blank. I feel I can’t vote for anybody in them right now as either I don’t feel strongly enough about anybody to win in one of those categories or just don’t know.

Updating

Theymos is my choice for this category and I guess this does not even need an explanation, Theymos holds the keys to this forum and so far, I've loved the way he's managing the forum ensuring growth and long term continuous existence.

TryNinja and PowerGlove are both experts in what they do, and both on their different ways have used their talent to contribute to the welfare and growth of this forum, both deserve this award if possible.

I read his posts on bitcoin a lot and I always admire his level of knowledge and understanding of the bitcoin subject, he's a geek indeed.




A cool dude, he is a manager with class, highly professional in everything he does, he is a very good role model.

Theymos the forum admin, he look forward to the progress of the forum.

He has helped in so many ways, you can also check his started topics to see how useful they are.

A nice person in the forum, although we haven't done any personal business yet but so far he seems like a nice person. He knows both technical and none technical things about Bitcoin.

The annual pumpkin contest was good. For the Christmas and New Year contest, you really need to visit the thread to see for yourself.

This was made by NotATether, so this is one of the reasons why I nominated him on the Bitcoin Greek category, he knows what the forum needs both technically and none technically.


I don't think there's anyone who does this more than him, he is the best manager. Although I haven't work with any other except him.

Just keyboard can not explain this user, you might need to check his trust rating to know why I chose him/her.

the two of them are helpful to the local community. They help to see the community grow.

Floxynice has also helped the local community. Her local board service is good, she has help the little she can and she's also trusted. https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5537626.0

theymos - As much as i can remember, theymos became forum's head administrator since 2012, it's been 14 years and he is still here managing the affairs of the forum without many problems, he is a genius!
Laszlo Hanyecz - This user also deserves the category hero of good because he was one of the few persons who made bitcoin bitcoin popular today.

vapourminer - Just found out that this dude spends a lot of time reading posts in the forum, he deserves the award of this category
fillippone - This user have helped many newbies to grow in the forum through his post review, he has been doing this relentlessly over the years. There will be no future for bitcointalk if there are no newbies.

He is highly experienced and knowledgeable who has deep understanding about bitcoin and has guided many members of the forum on how to go about there investment. Bitcoin is the sole reason why we all are here and those who teaches about bitcoin are the bitcoin geeks of which JayJuanGee is an outstanding user for this category.

A significant event in the history of bitcoin that is celebrated on and off the forum to remember the day that bitcoin was used for payment by Laszlo Hanyecz who bought 2 Pa John's pizzas for 10k BTC. Laszlo Hanyecz is also one of the heroes of good in the forum.

Talksearch.io - This advance bitcointalk search engine by NotATether is easy to use and search results drop almost immediately.
Talkimg.com - This is a site powered by joker_josue to help forum members upload images in the forum.
bpip.org - Bitcointalk Public Information Project is a site that shows data of forum members and i like the interface of the site and the authenticity of information there.

Satofan44 - This psychopath fits in well in this category because he has been dragged many times in the reputation board as a result of his psycho behavior to forum members. However, there is a rhyme in the word 'psychopath' and the phrase 'Satofan'
*Ace* - One of the first growing profile in the forum who is very good in developing and programming knowledge. If you want to see what this guy has done just visit the Meta board.

Who else if not Hhampuz. He has an aura and he is incomparable. The way he handles the campaigns he manage amazes me and i don't think he has many problems within the years he has been managing campaigns in the forum (none that i know of, especially within my years in the forum).

This category mean a lot of things but while some persons see it as those who are bursting scams and spams in the forum (though that was my interpretation last year), i see it as someone who is always willing to offer solutions to problems in the forum.
PowerGlove is one of the users that want the forum to improve, what other help supersedes the one offered to the forum entirely?.

He is a legend in the Nigerian local board, no one has been able to beat him in this category over the years. He is also a decent user that tries as much as possible to avoid forum's drama. Hats off to you Sir.

Even though i voted for this category last time but in this forum, almost everyone is being addressed as ''he''. But if i can see anyone that has never been addressed as a man in the forum then i might consider filling this category.

This is a position that should be left for him, he can never be replaced in any way. Respect/RIP


Man with unlimited ability to create things that are productive to the Forum.


His knowledge on Bitcoin is massive and the way and manner he handles every argument is different even if he had to give us a longer Quote but still everything and advice he gives is still on point.


this particular one gives every member the opportunity to showcase their cooking skills in the local board (waiting for the winners for this year).






Someone who doesn't say much, she gives you a warning ⚠️ and if you keep messing up... you're gonna learn the hard way. One of the best I have seen, she should be called Forum investigator.



It has never been easy manage more than one campaign, they always deliver, not that other ain't good but these two guys look like the godfathers of managing one of the biggest campaigns in the forum.


We don't have much folks when you talk about Local Heros, at least the little I've seen from this user shows they deserves this spot...when everywhere seems to be mute in the local board they find a way of making it active. Take the cooking contest for instance. You deserve your flowers, Mia.



When it comes to women that keeps the forum in check I think she's the one to call...

How he addresses and rationally response to issues in the forum explains much to why he was chosen to be primary administrator of the forum in a world of over 8 billion people out there. The forum is where it is now basically due to how you have being piloting it's affairs. Still recalled how in his wisdom quickly approached the issue of mixers in a way that it doesn't  affect the operation of the forum.


These are two users who are in my opinion consistently remarkable in their respective  ways of knowledge sharing. One is in love with bitcoin investment discussions, never minding to quote as many comments just to correct where lies errors from a user comment. The other is lovestruck with bitcoin strategic reserve discussions, a tread which keeps the community up-to-date with events on bitcoin reserves in one piece.

Explains bitcoin investment in the simple terms, very patient with bitcoin novice in teaching them what they don't know. One user I see that everything about bitcoin excites him to share in the longest notes as possible, still always interesting and enlighten to read.



All are contest I have respectively participated and are usually fun and competitive. Unlike the pumpkin contest with all the creative carvings to be done, the other two contests for what I love it more is that I still have to taste what I have made for me to judge my culinary skills myself.



Simple to use tool for forum images with less processes.




Not your regular kind of buster. Takes cleaning the forum from bad actors personal, very careful with matters , warning where needful and if you don't understand her kind of personality you may wanna dislike her for nothing. May not be a perfect person out there but she's
Lovesmayfamilies


In no particular order they're just good at what they do and it's no hype. Worked with each the signature campaign managers as listed and I have different experiences with each of them, and one thing i found similar  among them is that you keep to rules and display quality at all times.




Honestly, the Nigerian (Naija) local board wouldn't have achieved the milestone it's enjoying today if not for user like CryptopreneurBrainboss. Generous and selfless with all he does for the local board growth.
Mia Chloe, for some reasons seems to have added colour to the Naija local board with his technical knowledge of bitcoin which I admire keenly in our local board.
SmartVirus; did my digging lately on a few local board members and stumbled on this user thread and discovered that he also played a crucial role in the actualisation of the Naija local board of which many like myself never knew until now.



Speechless as to why, but just fits in more among all women in the forum. Vocal and perhaps one of the females that stands as a spectre for other female users in the forum to learn from that in the midst of a community most filled with males gender, being a female makes no difference when you're adding value to the community.

DRAFT

Theymos because he has always been a careful and careful admin in the management of the forum and this is not a given
Mitchell is one of the staff that I have always appreciated for his good sense and his way of acting.



As an Italian, I can only love pizza day, and it's always organized intelligently, trying to make everyone happy thanks to the great work of icopress.

I really like the project, and with the new graphics it has also become very pleasant to look at and use, a job well done.


Icopress doesn't need to explain who he is or why I vote for him. He creates and manages contests masterfully, including this one. It's hard work, but he does it without any problems.
Ace has created so many scripts, in my opinion some of them are very useful, he is really working hard and so I vote for him

He does some really good investigative work, he even analyzes transactions to find farms and cheaters, he's really good.

Filippone is always present and always ready to lend a hand and explain things, this is very important according to Master
Plutosky instead shares with us his experiments and the most important news on the adoption of Bitcoin.
I consider both very important for the Italian section

Foxpup is the one indicated by everyone to be definitely a woman, so you win my only vote in this regard hands down.

I could probably have nominated numerous members for each section, so please don't take offense if I didn't name you.  The above two have been involved in the forum for years, and I always read what each has to say with utmost seriousness.  Furthermore, I've trusted both of them for as long as I can remember.


Some of y'all bitches may not agree with my choice here, but I very much appreciate members who speak their mind, are more often than not on the money with their opinions, and will not bow to the masses if challenged.  I haven't had extensive interaction with vapourminer personally, but from what I've seen him post, he fits the category.


He's been extremely helpful in the HW wallet section, and I appreciate a lot of the things he's written over the years when I was just a toe-headed toe head whose knowledge of HW wallets, when tallied by a high-end computer, would spit out a negative number.  That's a compliment dkbit98 deserves.


The above is undeniable, and I might also add here that I've not looked at anyone else's votes prior to me casting my own here.  No doubt there's a lot I'm missing.


I'm a collector at heart, but this forum has always remained closer to said heart than bitcoin actually has, and any time someone produces a collectible based on bitcointalk I think it's a worthy project--if done right, and ibminer did it very well with his set.


Strict moral code is what stands out as the criterion for this one, although there are other members (like Vod and a number of other OGs) who fit under it.  I've found PG to be a straight shooter, no-BS type of person who's also quite helpful.


Has a passion for collectibles and has helped me out at least twice (or offered to) at his own expense; I appreciate the generosity combined with expertise he's shown.


Without divulging what has transpired during Cycling Club gatherings, our vilest of vulpine vixens couldn't have any competitor that would even come close without votes having been rigged.  May Vod strike me dead with a soda bottle up my ass if that isn't true.

 Too much to say about this user but I fear there'd not be enough space to fill it, but all I know, his impact would remain indelible. Rest on champ!..This other user took out time to impact in areas and places that seemed out of his jurisdiction but still we felt the impact nonetheless.


This users tend to keep the forum in check, always cooking up new ideas to make this place more unique and different from other social platforms.



Their knowledge about everything in the forum and Bitcoin related topics in particular is exceptional. Such valuable materials the forum has.


One thing this forum is peculiar for is it's ability to make room for users to display their talents: be it to show their talent with art tools or displaying their skill in the kitchen, the forum doesn't disappoint. This event was one of them that allowed users showcase their different delicacies and it's fun to be able to display this to the community.

It was a project that was enjoyable, although they didn't last long due to reasons best known to them but at least in the period of time they stayed, there was no negative press attached to them.





These two have put it upon themselves to be the forum police, fighting to keep the place free of scammers, and not doing it just for the acknowledgements alone but to maintain a clean environment safe enough for people to use.


They've managed to maintain a great reputation for themselves as the top campaign managers and for Hhampuz, it only takes genius to be able to handle the number of campaigns he has and still find time to bring other educational and recreational activities to help the users maximize their skills.


Without CB, there wouldn't have been room for others to come in, he made it possible, along with others to ensure that those from the Nigerian board can have a place where people can have a home far from home. Mia's creative ideas has also helped to balance the local board.


Oh, I just love these two for their fearlessness and bravery. It's not everyday you'd see a woman campaigning to be a merit source tmfor the gambling board but this user has kept on proving her worth and showing up. Same as Lovesmayfamilis, ever vigilant and well commended for her knack for fishing out treacherous behaviors.

I think he's the best user there is and that he can truly be considered a ninja also for the nickname he has lol



This year I have to say that he is the best of all, he is really working hard and is doing a lot of things for the forum both in Italy and internationally.

I don't think it's necessary to explain who this great user is, his reputation precedes him for what he does and what he is maintaining.

I noticed that he is the best who always manages to catch those who go wrong in the forum and do things that shouldn't be done, he is truly a good person

the best of all in the Italian section really works hard to publish important topics to be discussed in our language

she's the best one I can think of right now and I think she's a really intriguing person now that I think about it she's the best in the Italian section
