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.

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!

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.

Congratulations everyone who won this most reputated award in bitcoin community.  And i am truely greatful that my choosen person also won this Battle. Thats why i am very  happy today. And i also support other users who spend their time on this forum and make this forum very informative and spaming free. And i also thank to those users who support new users and help them by answering their question and help to remove their confusion.
Heres my result though i am not here for long time

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:

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?

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 

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!

Congratulations to the winners and of course the icopress will give you good quality T-shirts. 
By the way, these questions were very interesting and informative, as I did not know before Theymos's userid is 35

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

I came up as a second, very close to the winner.
Thank you to everyone who took their time to vote for me. Really Appreciated.
Congratulations to @Ratimov for his victory in this nice category.
Next year we won't be "discoveries" anymore, I guess...so better stating working hard for the main competition!.

Confirmed: I suck as a Ninja.

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]}

Congratulations to all the winners and I it would be nice to see how T-shirts look in real life
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 Winners
You all are the best.

Hahaha need more practice to this forum and cryptocurrency.

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

Congratulations to all the winners.
All categories won by much deserving personalities and events. and congrats to the other nominees too they were all good in their place. specially Event of the year. it is hard to decide which was the biggest event of the year all of them were big events.

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.
