Confirmed: I suck as a Ninja. Cry
5 years of trying (hint your reg year) and still sucking is perfectly normal to be a Ninja. Good luck next time bud. Congratulations to all winners.

~snip~
Who is the man? :-P

Did I just score at the Top so far?



There were some question which were confusing to answer however the first time I have enjoyed a quiz like this. The questions were interesting and I must say that you have done a lot of homework before making these questioners.  Well done icopress!

It is a great honor for me to be nominated in this contest, although I am active here only since October 2019. Thank you all who voted for me!

Thank you OP for holding this contest! Let's hope that it will be made each year Smiley

Congrats to all the winners and to all the other nominated members! As OP said, you (we) are the core of the forum!



I also completed the quiz and here is my score:





Besides, I think these two questions should be corrected:

1. The answers of the question below should be different


2. The correct answer to the question below should be "Never"


Also, in the description of this question is stated that "in 2013, Alex announced that he intends to publish [...]". I think "Alex" should be replaced with "theymos" Smiley

you just spoiled a question to others who didn't played it yet. you should've sent your advise via PM.
and your both picture showing same question but the given options below are different? how is that? I don't think correct ansower would be never. coz theymos didn't said he'll never disclose the PMs of Satoshi. but he said he'll do them when they'll be more historic.

Well, I'm not an expert regarding with the history of the forum still there is a lot of information I don't know which this quiz gives me more knowledge about the history of the forum and I'm not scared to say that I'm still a newbie regarding with the different field into the world of cryptocurrency and the bitcointalk forum there is a lot of information I don't know, nah stop making drama lol this is my score Good job to OP.

So, to be frankly honest, I paid very little attention to this competition (other than the notifications I kept getting when my name was mentioned) since, like others, I figured it would simply be a popularity contest as opposed to based on actual contributions or merit in the various categories. This seems to be proven by the fact I don't even appear on the SpamBuster category, despite knowing for a fact I have thousands (sometimes >10 thousand) more good reports than some of the people who did, because I'm not very vocal with my reporting statistics.

Because of this, I was unsure how I felt about winning Bitcoin Geek. In my opinion it should have gone to one of the core devs who are active on the forum - gmaxwell or achow101 - or to satoshi himself, no questions asked. I expressed as much in the Discord chat, and webtricks pointed out that it the voting wasn't actually based on the most technical knowledge but rather the person who is most passionate about bitcoin and most helpful in answering questions. In that case, I'll humbly accept, although it still feels wrong to me to be beating people with far more technical knowledge in such a category.



Here's the post you guys are looking for regarding Satoshi's PMs:

I've rethought this, and I won't be releasing the PMs in 2021.
...
I do think that there could be historically-relevant info in there, so maybe if Bitcoin has taken over the world in like 50 years and historians are clamoring to know more about its history, I or my successors could be convinced to revisit the issue. Or maybe not; don't get your hopes up. (I still haven't read the PMs, BTW; maybe they're all really boring.)

GazetaBitcoin, Thank you for your comment [...] visibly fatigue affected my concentration.

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.

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]

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 Smiley
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? Smiley

Be nice!
Congratulations to all the winners and to icopress for organizing all of this.
All winners are deserving of their respective categories and also I think fillippone and theymos deserve a congratulations as they were 1 or 2 votes away from the winners of  the categories Discovery of the Year and Absolute Hero of Good.

Also it was quite a quiz you've done and I only scored 8/20  Cry

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. Wink



No award for thermos, that's criminal!

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]

I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)

Congratulations to all the winners and I it would be nice to see how T-shirts look in real life Smiley
I don't understand how this Bitcointalk Community Awards are connected with Quiz, and I am now tired to answer all 22 questions so I just skipped that part.

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.

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.
