While votes counting is still in progress, I thought to take a look in the past and see some nice statistics from previous two edition of BitcoinTalk Community Awards!
First of all, let's remember the winners and the runner-ups:
2020 edition
2021 edition
- there were 16 unique winners during both contests: hilariousandco, suchmoon, Rikafip, CryptopreneurBrainBoss, Ratimov, o_e_l_e_o, LoyceV, Hhampus, Lauda, satoshi, theymos, TryNinja, n0nce, lovemayfamilis, franky1 and Foxpup
- 6 of them managed to earn two prizes at different categories; from these, 3 managed to win at different categories: hilariousandco (Best Moderator in both years), o_e_l_e_o (Bitcoin Geek in both years), Hhampuz (Craft Master in both years), Ratimov (Discovery of the Year - 2020, SpamBuster - 2021), LoyceV (BitcoinTalk Ninja - 2020, Golden Feather - 2021), Lauda x2 (Antihero, Miss Bitcointalk)
- curiously, while many expected TryNinja to win at BitcoinTalk Ninja category, he did not succeed in 2020; he took his revenge though, in 2021, by winning
- most votes a winner had: Ratimov was elected in 2021 as Best Spam Buster with 157 votes, followed by Hhampuz, with 151 (winner at Craft Master category) and TryNinja, also in 2021 (winner at BitconTalk Ninja category)
- smallest number of votes a winner had: o_e_l_e_o was elected in 2020 as Bitcoin Geek with 21 votes, followed by Rikafip and Ratimov, 2020 winners of Spambuster and Discovery of the Year Category, both receiving 31 votes
- biggest difference between first place and second place: 102 votes difference between Hhampuz and Maus0728 (Craft Master); 74 votes difference between Ratimov and actmyname (Spam Buster); 46 votes difference between TryNinja and LoyceV (BitcoinTalk Ninja) and also 46 votes difference between theymos and satoshi -- a sort of clash of the titans -- (Hero of Good). All these differences were recorded at second edition of the contest.
- smallest difference between first place and second place: 1 vote difference between theymos and satoshi -- again, a sort of clash of the titans -- (also at Hero of Good category); 2 votes difference between Ratimov and fillippone (Discovery of the Year); 4 votes difference between o_e_l_e_o and theymos (Bitcoin Geek). All these differences were recorded at first edition of the contest.
- unluckiest nominee: DdmrDdmr, by far. He was elected once on second place (Golden Feather - 2021) and four times on third place (Discovery of the Year - 2020, Bitcointalk Ninja - 2020 & 2021, Craft Master - 2020) each time being close to win but without succeeding. Needless to say, he also got fourth place twice, at other categories and once a seventh place Oo Maybe he'll be lucky at third edition of the contest?
That's all for now, let's return to votes counting
