Congratuations to bitmover, Blue Tyrant, and the runners-up!

nullius: Man. You had me worried at the beginning of the week. I know the CloudFlare issue is a huge one for you, as a proponent for security and privacy. So seeing posts repeatedly about the issue had me concerned that you would not be able to deliver. But you did. [...]

Joe, your critique described my past week on the forum similarly to how I myself would have put it.

In the hope of spreading some old-school antispam culture here, I will select The Rules of Spam, Bitcointalk.org Edition as the post to receive my prize merits.

It is true that frankly, Cloudflare’s Javascript checks have been driving me away from the forum.  For that reason, I was away for two whole days this past week; and I think that in the time since I started actively using my account, the only period during which I posted less than this week was when I took a three-week forum hiatus in January.  I also lost the draft of an extensive Dev & Tech post, due to a mishap with the ephemeral VM which contains a browser running scripts I distrust.  Going forward, I hope that some means can be found to fend off Internet arsonists without impact on legitimate users.





And now, with a bow and my thanks to Joe for running this contest, I must sadly decline to enter Round 4—well, sort of.

I may have inadvertently entered a fictional character who has limited purview, and thus far makes few posts.  Such is life in the æthereal0 mists of the.nym.zone:  She approached me, offered her PGP key (0x69696969), and pleaded with tremulous eyes that she must enter Joe’s contest for the greater glory of her bitcult.faith.  What could a flesh-and-blood mortal man say to that?  I must stand down, lest she be barred by the alt-account rule.

Can she be competitive against people who actually exist?  The contest grows more exciting yet!  I am curious to see what Joe’s critique will be.
