It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.

Is it the reason you store lots of personal merit? You got me, I've been planning this for years!There should be an Award for the user most mentioned in all categories combined I was thinking more or less the opposite: theymos deserves the Fail of the Year award for sending Bitcoin to the wrong address Even though obviously it can happen to the best, it can still serve as a warning to thoroughly check each transaction before sending. Usually that warning is for Newbies, but it turns out experienced users need to be reminded once in a while too. Actually, that's a good point. I would have expected the opposite to avoid abuse. I'm just thinking I have enough sMerit to send 50 Merit to at least 30 users who vote in my favour [Narrator] And, that was the day that LoyceV won in every category in the 2021 Bitcointalk awards, but the fail of the year, despite not even being eligible for some. Any attempt to stop them was futile. I don't want to influence people's votes too much, but I was wondering how many users would nominate EZ0010 for one of the awards I was thinking more or less the opposite: theymos deserves the Fail of the Year award for sending Bitcoin to the wrong address Even though obviously it can happen to the best, it can still serve as a warning to thoroughly check each transaction before sending. Usually that warning is for Newbies, but it turns out experienced users need to be reminded once in a while too.new users especially seem to build up certain users as gods for a lack of a better term Boy was I wrong as a Newbie!I will try to be very flexible and make a few exceptions to the rules (for example, if the user gets 50 merit after they voted). I would have expected the opposite to avoid abuse. I'm just thinking I have enough sMerit to send 50 Merit to at least 30 users who vote in my favour

@icopress said that it is definitely alright to skip some of the categories that you are not sure which member is fit to that specific area, in fact, skipping is way better than blindy nominating people with the majority of the votes. And where are users suggested and where are the votes cast? - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/voting-2021-bitcointalk-community-awards-5382917
I agree, that it is not mandatory for everyone to have to choose users in all categories.
In fact, selection should be made by users who are most actively involved in each category. Otherwise, the choices can be made in a random way, and not in a more coherent way. And where are users suggested and where are the votes cast? I'm having the same issue, therefore I'm wondering if there's any way someone might skip some categories because I have no idea who or what to place as event of the year/fail event of the year. Is it necessary to fill up all of the categories? icopress will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that it's mandatory to nominate members in all categories. Simply fill those that you are comofrtable with and that's about it. I might even leave some categories empty too, if I won't be able to find adequate candidates.icopress will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that it's mandatory to nominate members in all categories. Should the encouragement of this post by icopress "merit" be regarded as a positive answer to the question?I would also like to leave some categories empty, because at the moment I don't know who I can suggest. For example, I was not interested in the topic of scams, so I don’t know who to choose for Best ScamBuster. I do not want to propose candidates just to fill the slot. I believe that it is necessary to propose only those candidates who fit into the framework of the competition conditions and categories. And not so that just to name someone who has nothing to do with the nomination. Perhaps, before the end of the voting, I will have time to study a little the topics in which I have gaps and will be able to fill in all the fields. One of the requirements to submit a vote is to be a Full Member or have 50 merits. Are you making any distinctions between airdropped and earned merits? I think earned merits should be considered but maybe a lower minimum. I would take a lower-ranked member with 50 earned merits over an active Legendary who hasn't earned any since the merit system got implemented any day of the week. Since I am using the BPIP extension, I can see how much merit one or another user has earned, including those that were received by default, so when counting votes, all these aspects will be taken into account. However, I will try to be very flexible and make a few exceptions to the rules (for example, if the user gets 50 merit after they voted). And at the same time, it is more strict with the votes of those who formally have the right to vote (for example, users involved in 1xBit or those who have been seen in slanderous plots, ardent spammers, etc). I hope I was able to satisfy your curiosity. I need clarification, does that mean full member or higher with 0 merit eligible to vote? True ... but I added a note saying that the OP has the discretion to ignore the votes of newly awakened accounts and inactive posters.Quote from: Update: We are glad to announce that a new sponsor has joined this event, and we are very pleased that ChipMixer still supports and appreciates public initiatives! Thus, the total prize fund has expanded to 100 mBTC! Moreover, ChipMixer expressed a desire to reward ordinary users, those whose names will not appear in any of the nominations, therefore, 10 vouchers of 2 mBTC each will be raffled among all voters!

@icopress, how will you choose the three VIP winners? You probably meant to say "one winner + 1 (for example, you and your wife). [Just hover your mouse over "note"]If this is the case, it makes a lot of sense. I'll cast a few votes and that'll be the end of it. I'm weary of folks nominating Satoshi and Lauda; shouldn't this award go to active users only? Since there are prizes in each category To be honest, it's their right, and if the user read the entire description before voting, they should know that unclaimed collectibles will be put up for auction and the proceeds will go to support the BitcoinTalkShow. In addition, if Satoshi wins in any category, the number of winners between whom the prize fund will be divided will also be reduced, (everything is provided ... as they say).

I also haven't idea about some categories and leave them blank. I guess it's more OK than nominating some random members. I am having the same issue. For now I just left some categories blank and will eventually fill them up when/if I figure out who is the most deserving. Or maybe I am taking this too seriously.

I absolutely would like to nominate EZ0010 for something, as it was pretty crazy at the time. The whole event really, proves that experienced users can make mistakes which we knew anyway, but new users especially seem to build up certain users as gods for a lack of a better term, and therefore can't make any mistakes. However, it didn't just show that, it showed even mistakes don't always spell disaster. I actually think, the fact that EZ0010 wasn't a massively established user, made it even more impressive. It would have been easily to disappear with that Bitcoin.
So, I would definitely like to give recognition for that, but it's fitting it into the current criteria I'm struggling with a little. Dare I say its one of the events of the year, which I'll term "When theymos lost the plot, and Ez0010 returned the lot". Obviously, tongue in cheek I including others have probably made sillier mistakes than that. Btw, there is nothing wrong with leaving a couple of empty graphs, to me it just means that the person has a slightly narrower range of interests than others ... after all you have a month or so to edit your post. Sweet, it just didn't feel right voting for a moderator even though I know this isn't a massively serious award ceremony. I just want to get my Annual invite to the Christmas party, and my Christmas cards, and therefore would avoid making enemies . Jump to:
