I couldn't find emails to CC some people. If you know how they can be reached, please forward them this email. Not CC'd winners:
  SilkRoad, CosbyCoin, Platos, Wired, Phinnaeus Gage, Atlas, and MyBitcoin.com

Since BitcoinBetas's award ceremony was clearly operated as a scam, would you guys (who won the polls) be willing to donate your winnings to a newly organized awards ceremony for the same purpose, in hopes of holding it fairly?
Obviously if you really deserve the award, you will just get it back anyway.

As should be obvious by now (I guess the poll will tell how obvious...), the Bitcoin Awards for 2011 run by BitcoinBetas is a complete scam. Since the general idea of having an awards contest is a good idea, I am asking all the winners to redonate the winnings to a new contest run fairly - by whom? I don't know, any volunteers?

Anyhow, obvious poll options missing from BitcoinBetas's polls (and yes, they were nominated):
  • BTCGuild
  • ABCPool.co
  • Eligius
  • yourbtc.net
  • p2pool
  • poclbm
  • Amir Taaki
  • Art Forz
  • Jeff Garzik
  • Joel Katz
  • Luke Dashjr
  • Mark Karpeles
  • Martti Malmi
  • Matt Corallo
  • Michael Marquardt
  • Mike Hearn
  • Nils Schneider
  • Patrick McFarland
  • Pieter Wuille
  • Satoshi Nakamoto (he wasn't really involved in Bitcoin in 2011 I guess)
  • BitEgg/BitPizza
  • Coincard/Coinpal

(before asking "who?", see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/People )

Furthermore, when I brought up the concern of vandalism during nominations, I was told it was under control and not to worry about it. When I pointed out these major problems immediately after the poll options were public, BitcoinBetas basically said he had no clue about these obvious choices, and refused to fix it.
