Though I believe, a nomination would require someone to be contributed to the forum heavily, and thus, someone with lots of helpful posts and a lot of merits must be nominated, I would still go with
EZ0010 because of
his honesty. It doesn't happen every now and then what he did. He proved bitcointalk has honest members too, not only a lot of scammers. There are not a lot of his posts. I will simply quote his post where he got most of his merits.
By the way, his profile address of vanity address at least says he is somewhat knowledgeable and a genuine user.
I know how it feel to lose some Bitcoin either by human error or getting scammed as I experienced both and dont want someone to get same feelings.
Happy to see you got your money back. And many thanks to theymos
and there are two reasons for this. One is that i saw that thread where he returned the money and secondly i have no idea what other three newbies mentioned in the OP did for which they are nominated.
It will be helpful if the nominees achievements are also highlighted in the OP thread.
