I want to thank you all that vote for me for SpamBuster but I have to disappoint you people. Since the voting is for 2020 i was not so active in terms of reporting.
Oh, I didn't met you earlier as I became active on the forum this May 2020, I just have the feeling of your excellent good work about spamBusting, but for sure you can't be doing one thing for ever.
After i became a father earlier this year my attention and time is dedicated to my family. I have no more than 1000 reports for the past 11 months...
Really? I'm just a young school leaver last year, I wish you the best in your family endeavors, it's nice as you left a good legacy on the forum, I could only recognise YOSHIE as the current spamBuster and I voted him anyway.

There are far more efficient SpamBusters Ninjas than me for sure.
STOP THE COUNT!

I have the same feeling. I personally think others (e.g Loyce, Vod, suchmoon) have done more "exceptional contribution to the development of Bitcointalk" than I did, but some people keep voting on me.

There is clearly some abuse going on. Why is the category even called Bitcointalk Ninja? All of those votes will be legally challenged by me. 🐱‍👤

2. Spambuster.......GazetaBitcoin, Yoshie

Thank you Coyster for the nomination! It seems that my continuous work for eradicating spam did not go unnoticed.

Discovery of the Year: Ratimov, GazetaBitcoin

Oh well, oh well! It's a great honor to see my name nominated to a section by Capo di tutti capi! Smiley Thank you Foxpup! Seriously: I really appreciate!

At OP: giving the importance of this vote, I think it should weight at least as 20 other votes Smiley

  • Antihero: Lauda 😼, nullius
How much more antiheroic could I be?

⚠ WARNING:  This post exposes Nullian secrets.

[WO] Truth, the Ruler of Men
* My dick is bigger than a twitlib’s—where “dick” has a subtextual meaning of “supreme mastery of hermeneutics”, and its size is an allegory for my powers of mythological interpretation.

Much of my more serious writing contains cryptic literary allusions.  I do hope that someday, professors will apply the proper methods of hermeneutics and textual criticism to find all of the hidden meanings subtly onion-layered into my forum posts.  (To be clear, my only lack of confidence is in the hope that scholars will exist in the future.)

For example, from my personal political manifesto:

It is the anarchy of amoralists who rise beyond good and evil to shatter the table of values of the mob’s slave-morality, and thus clear the way for their own tables of values.

[...]

For those whose honour is pride and whose pride is self-honour, law is at best superfluous; and the law of the mob must be explicitly rejected.

[...]

And in practice, the system with the best mob-appeal is, of course, democracy on the principle of “one sheep, one vote”.  Thereupon do the sheep choose as shepherds those who are most adept at pandering to the masses, playing petty politics, and manipulating majority opinion with cunning propaganda.

[...]

Sheep can no more be taught to think than dogs can be taught to sing opera.

[...]

Wherefore let none dare any heresy against the “one sheep, one vote” principle of governance, a sacred relic that you must worship at the altar of the masses.  Of course, this state of affairs is entirely convenient for the priests of the opinion-factories.

Democracy is not three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner:  It is the flock obediently voting on the shepherd’s opinion of wolves.  Wherefore wolves are an endangered species.

[...]

Free yourself first from the moral authority of the mob.  You owe nothing to mass opinion; therefore, the laws which rise on mass opinion have no proper authority over you.  You do not consent to be governed by the votes of millions of anthropoid livestock who want to be bound in chains—who eagerly embrace those chains just as long as they remain warm, fed, and adequately entertained.  You are a law unto yourself.

Wherefore “anarchy” as to the masses and their so-called “governments”, which are in truth no more than the largest, most well-armed organized criminal gangs.  Don’t reject authority:  Be your own authority.

(a) The term “table of values”, in the context of (b) herds of sheep and (c) rejection of laws, was an allusion to several specific passages in Nietzsche’s Thus spake Zarathustra.  The reference to Beyond Good and Evil is more overtly Nietzschean—as is, of course, the condemnation of the mob’s Sklavenmoral, and the declaration of my amoralism.

In parallel, there is hereby a doubly indirect hidden homage to Lauda, such as I have not infrequently enjoyed inserting into my posts.  (Pedantic note:  “Laudable” and “löblich” have different etymologies, albeit the same meanings.)  No doubt, she would appreciate it.
There are hereby multiple layers of abstract indirection, which you can probably follow if you know C/C++ programming and/or witchcraft.

Compare the above passage to the below:

...that has resulted in heroes oft becoming “antiheroes”.  But you would just scroll on by, like the “unmitigated savages” you are (lolz).


Why do I do it?  Inter alia:  To spend energy.

If you are not reading it, then it is not for you.

The Laudatory Quantum Superposition

It is a Schrödinger’s cat experiment!  Lauda is caught in the quantum superposition of Absolute Hero of Good and Antihero until the votes are counted.

Unlike me, Lauda was kind and gentle.  She is a suitable candidate for the Absolute Hero of Good.

I have also now amended my vote to nominate her for Miss Bitcointalk, as some others have.  Indeed, she was rather girly!

—Wait.  Lauda’s husband is the Terminator!!?!? Shocked

An indisputably serious confession of witchcraft connubial status, accompanied by videographic PROOF that Lauda is married to the Terminator:
Obviously I'm compelled to first thank my husband for his unwavering support and love; secondly, I'd like to thank my cult which has served their Queen very well over its short existence.


Lauda was always lolz. 😺

But she was also what some people may call an “antihero”:

(See also the full/original graphic.)


How will the superposition resolve?  I am in suspense!







Congrats bro.
but what does Craft Master exactly mean? what did you do or built?

I will answer that, for I was the one who nominated GazetaBitcoin.  As his name implies, he runs a Bitcoin newspaper.  His “craft” is journalism.  Wherefore the explanatory note:

Code:
10. Craft Master ................... GazetaBitcoin
    (for in-depth posts on cypherpunks history & current events)

Now, since I am more of a royal “jerk” (or evidently perceived that way) than T. C. May...



On “Antiheroes”

I think that some people are misinterpreting the “Antihero” category.

Now, I would hereby expound on the transvaluation of values that has resulted in heroes oft becoming “antiheroes”.  But you would just scroll on by, like the “unmitigated savages” you are (lolz).

I suggest that a succinct description for an antihero, on the level of the popular mind, is that an antihero is like a villain with his own fan club.  In literature, an antihero is (or should be) more distinct from a glorious villain; but modernity has so blurred the lines...

Ah, yes—literature!  Perhaps the archetypal antihero is the Satan of John Milton’s Paradise Lost:  He is truly the hero of the story, but he is—literally Satan.

Lol at nullius coming out of retirement to red tag for " empathy" [...blah, blah...]

TPOTO... lol I imagine that tune everytime you post now...

TPOTO... lol I imagine that tune everytime you post now...

Since I am having trouble keeping track of all of the references and the various drama points, I googled TPOTO....

I got:  The Phantom of the Opera.

Nullius is of course TPOTO.

Nullius is of course TPOTO.

I confess, “bonesjones” doxed me!

“nullius” is Erik, better known as The Phantom.  Behold my glory!



Whoops!  Calling me the evil genius who lives beneath the opera house, working on his artistic masterpiece and killing off incompetent singers?  Not insulted here. ;-)  The Phantom has his own fan club.

Just to drive home the point of how terribly antiheroic I am, here is a graphic that I made a few weeks ago, for an unpublished post about the proper use of rude people flopped on the Left:

N.b., I reserve the right still to portray myself as the Terminator.  Nothing is thus meant toward you, Kitty.  Anyway, I look more like the one in Reese’s flashback nightmare scene. ;-)


Post scratched out in haste—to be edited/extended with some cleanup, plus thoughts about Lauda.  — Edited much over about the first 90 minutes, then tweaked a few times much later for artistic reasons and/or to add anchor tags.

I think Nullius meant that GazetaBitcoin has a penchant for studying the history of cypherpunks and cryptanarchists ...
Or, at least, it implied a firm belief in these values ​​and judgments...

Wow! Thank you, nullius, for mentioning my name in that category. It's a huge surprise for me, as I didn't expect to be nominated by anyone inside the contest Smiley However, I'm glad to see this nomination and I am also glad to see people which are interested in the subjects addressed many times by my writings!

There's one thing that not clear, can we just nominate for one or two title and left other title empty/without nomination?

Sure! The description has an explanation on this!

Participants compete with two more competitors, “Don’t know” (if you do not know the user who can claim the title) and “Nobody is worthy” (if, in your opinion, no one is worthy to be a representative of the “Bitcointalk Awards” nominations). If the “Don't know” and “Nobody deserves” candidates win, the title will not be awarded to any of the nominated candidates.

Thank you, I'll think about it thoroughly ..

Alternatively it could be replaced with "You must be Full Member/higher or have at least X merit", where X could be any number ranging from 10 - 100.

**Watching patiently but nobody seems to be putting their votes in the other thread yet**

I also counted on some initial impulse ... but judging by the comments in this thread, the community prefers to either criticize or say "good idea" and nothing more. And since there is nothing to add and find fault with, this no longer worries anyone ... For a second, I wondered how much time had been spent, (although it seems to me that this can be seen from the impeccable design and logical structure of the event).


If anything, this will be a lesson for me, which clearly shows what it means to "wipe ass with social work". Maybe it's not so bad, maybe people just think that there are still 25 voting days ahead, I don't know ...

first I thought to reply the Voting thread. but then decided to post it here.
In Voting Thread, Threa is a Rule:
Quote
You must be a Full Member or higher to nominate / vote.
I would advise considering changing this rule to Member rank at least. now after the merit system. it is big thing to even reach to member level. earning 10 merits is not easy (if they are given fairly) it requires a lot of effort and knowledge to make high-quality posts which attract people and they give merits. so I would say allow members rank users to cast votes too.
I would like to hear what other people say about this.

Vile Vixen and Miss Bitcointalk 2021-2023
You may be living in denial... Or, at least, this is what I (like to) think Smiley
I understand that some people are almost as confused about my gender as I am, but am I really so androgynous that you can't even agree on whether I have boobs? Undecided (For the record, I don't think I do, but whatever floats your boat. Incidentally, this is reason #46 to #FreeTheNipple.)
