BlackHatCoiner has also earned enough merits to become a Legendary, but he does not have sufficient activity.

aysg76, slaman29, Little Mouse and pawanjain have ranked up to Hero Members. [...]

RickDeckard has also received enough merits to rank up to a Senior, but he does not yet have the required activity points.

I'd like again to congratulate all the ones which leveled up, bringing quality to this forum and, of course, Coin-1 for all his efforts in keeping the thread updated.

In particular, I am very happy to see in this list the names of two users that I know more and that I collaborated with - Little Mouse and RickDeckard. Little Mouse was one of those which inspired me to create a new translation of the Bitcoin white paper from scratch - which I did - and I thank him for that. Rick, on another hand, was in several occasions an excellent interlocutor, talking to him on various subjects, including some horrors made by Romanian govern toward its citizen. It amazed me to see him so touched by those incidents and also to see he knows the situation, although he has a different nationality. Talking with you was a great honor for me, Rick!

Let me shake the hands of both of you! Congrats!

I'd also like to congratulate one member mentioned here, which had a stunning evolution inside the forum or, at least impressed me a lot - BlackHatCoiner. I remember his beginning here, when he was a newbie, knowing code but not so much of Bitcoin. I remember he posted a dozen of topics with questions - what does that mean / what does the other mean - and, at first, I was looking with curiosity at him, seeing how many question he raises... In time, I realized that this man really wants to learn -- and he did it! And after learning a lot he was also able to bring his contributions to the forum and, as a result, he earned in a very short amount of time the merits required for being Legendary. Furthermore, his posts have such a good quality, that he was also accepted in the best signature campaign of the forum!

In my opinion BlackHatCoiner is a true example for any newbie and also for anyone willing to learn, that if you really want to learn and be a good contributor, this is always possible! Congrats, BlackHatCoiner, and chapeau!
