Hello xtraelv,

I come back with more suggestions for your historic thread.

If you think they worth, you can add these users to the list of notable persons: evoorhees (Erik Voorhees), Luke-Jr, Mircea Popescu and Bitmain.

Besides, regarding the list below:
Notable people:
Hal received the first bitcoin transaction
adam3us Creator of hashcash (1997) (Proof of Work)
Sirius Bitcoin Core Developer and Bitcointalk.org domain owner (First dev to work with Satoshi)
MemoryDealers Bitcoin Jesus
MagicalTux MtGox Founder
silkroad  & altoid Silkroad Founder
Altoid Silkroad founder
pirateat40 - the 500K BTC ponzi organiser Exlained here 

Famous people list will only contain usernames and will not identify their roles unless they have publicly disclosed it on bitcointalk.

I think you listed twice the Silk Road founder. Also, I think the ones mentioned in the list can be listed with their real names, as they are already public or they stated it public here. For example: Hal stated here that Hal Finney is his name; Adam Back admitted here that the profile adam3us belongs to him; Sirius admitted here his name is Martti Malmi; MemoryDealers states right into his signature he is Roger Ver; regarding MagicalTux I don't know if he stated / admitted here his name is Mark Karpeles, but this information is public anyway; pirateat40 could appear also with his name after it became public (Trendon Shavers); the only questionable profiles (about the true identity) being altoid and silkroad, where is difficult to say 100% sure that they belong indeed to Ross Ulbricht or not (or just to Ross or more people).

Maybe, if you take the above into consideration and you add the names to these profiles already listed, you could add their name and also their nickname (if any) - for example " MemoryDealers Roger Ver "Bitcoin Jesus"".
