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.
Rewards: | Community Awards will be held under the auspices of the forum and the prizes are directly dependent on community voting. The Administration has kindly agreed to assign the winners Custom Title, to express gratitude to those who have made an exceptional contribution to the development of the crypto community. The "Merit Prize fund" is a kind of addition to the "Custom Titles" and is intended to award the I, II and III place winners. |
For information 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, therefore please take this vote with full responsibility. Pre-election campaign Controversial agitation is welcome, but can only concern the results of the nominee's activities at the forum, and not the personality or personal quality of the nominee himself. You can say that the posts of the nominee are contrary to common sense, but you cannot say that he is stupid. ➥ There will be 27 winners this year! ➥ From the moment of publication, and for 60 days, public voting will be open, in which any active user can take part. ➥ No merit sending is allowed from nominees to users which nominated them & Votes cast for inactive users will not count Ladies and gentlemen, For this year's event we decided again to take into account the feedback received from various users, at the previous events, and apply some fine-tuning to the existent rules. Additionally there will also be some new rules. All these will -- we hope -- bring even more accurate results! Therefore, the following rules will apply for Bitcointalk Community Awards event 2023 edition: 1. Votes for inactive users will not be taken into consideration anymore. The event is related to the activity made by users during current year and not for the past. As a consequence, votes for users like Satoshi, Lauda etc. (with all due respect for all good things they did in the past) will not be counted. Of course, this does not mean that a user's vote will be entirely not counted, if he nominates an inactive user. Only the vote for the inactive user is not counted. As a sum-up: if a user makes nominations of both active users and inactive ones, only the mentions of inactive ones will be not counted (in the contest's final results there will be no Satoshi, no Lauda etc.). 2. No merit sending is allowed from nominees to users which nominated them. This should improve dramatically the accuracy of results and offenders will have to support a penalty. For each merit sent, 1 vote is deducted. So for example, if in the voting topic Alice sent 5 merits to those who nominated her in any category, then we will not count these votes (but the rest of the votes that are addressed to other nominees will be taken into account). In addition, if a user voted for Alice in two categories, then the votes for each of the categories will be unaccounted for. 3. You must have 50 earned merits to vote ➥ Note. 4. Copy-pasted votes will not be counted and they'll be reported for plagiarism. This rule was added after some incidents from the past, which led to having a particular user reported for plagiarism. Other changes: Prizes were decided based on community feedback. Please make sure you express the nominations in a coherent manner. Here I'm mostly talking about votes for Event / Fail of the year categories. It's difficult to understand what someone means if nominations have a form like this: "FAILED TO EARN AND HOLD 1btc", "Situación Actual", "Cancel Culture on social media", "Some exchanges are at war", "Get Your Funds Out of Exchange", "BUY THE DIP AND HODL". (For more information about these examples please check this post.) Besides, please make the difference between what an event is and what a fail is. In the past, some posted same nomination at both categories which is not correct. Mister BitcoinTalk category was not added, as it would mean to have fillippone winner all the time (on all three places ) Remember, the contest is about having fun, not a duel for seeing who's da baws Therefore, we are encouraging you all to act honest -- in the end, this is what brings the joy of participation, right? From this point forward, the official announcement of the contest will be made VERY soon! Cheers to all Jump to:
