Re: The most iconic bitcointalk threads. History on Bitcointalk.

I also have the similar thread like this, but yours is much wider, it was interesting to read some new information to me
Пpивeт. Yes- someone pointed out your thread Legendary profiles of bitcointalk. to me after I made this one
Your post features and details particular people while my post is more like a treasure hunt through bitcointalk history. There are certainly some interesting characters on here.
My inspiration for the post came from bitcoin pizza day (22 May)
Great post! Ive been reading most posts. It is a pity that most early bitcointalkers are not active any more or they still log in but not write. It might be because they are dead, millionaire or fed up with spam; or maybe a combination of the three. But it would be very interesting to know what is going on with their lives, if they are still alive.
It would definitely be interesting to find out what happened to some of the early pioneers. I noticed that a lot of the early posts were discussions about coding and technical aspects. I imagine that these sort of discussions are still taking place but in a much less public setting.
Some of the early pioneers that I have spoken to have security concerns about being publicly identifiable and get more messages than they can cope with.
It would be great to chat with some of the early pioneers "off the record".
It is great work, how much did it take you to gather all of the information? I am rather new to crypto, not much epic events to remember, now I can study some history
It took me about a day to sort through the events and find the relevant posts. I was reading about bitcoin pizza day and looked for it on bitcointalk. Then I started looking for more historic events and it struck me just how much history is on here. I'm only getting started on this post. This is the most enjoyable thing I've done on bitcointalk.
EDIT: I've been working on this for days now. There is so much cool info.
So many bitcoins stolen in the early hacks.I wonder how many were "cashed out" and how many are still "dormant".
I found it interesting to see Mark Karpeles was providing the hosting for Bitcointalk. I'm looking for when the hosting changed after the MtGox collapse.
