Bitcoin Forum

THE LEAD-UP:
Most of you know me from dealing with Casascius coins, but some of you may know that I also run a silkscreen printing business. I was commissioned by a client to design and print a "What is Bitcoin?" print last year, and since the last edition was such a smashing success, I've decided to revamp the design for this year and print another edition.

THE POSTER:
6-colour 14-layer silkscreen print with hand-inked details on 18x24" natural Cougar acid-free art paper. This is more than double the amount of colours used last year, and the natural off-white paper lends a classy look to the piece.
Limited edition of 83 prints.

THE TIMELINE:
The design will be finalized by March 15, at which point printing will begin. The new design will be revealed step by step as each layer is hand-printed.
Printing is expected to be completed by March 31.

Mailouts will begin as soon as shipping materials arrive.

THE PRICE:
Pricing for this print is 0.15 BTC plus shipping. Flat-shipping is estimated at 0.1 BTC and tube shipping is estimated at 0.05 BTC for North America and Western Europe.
The only payment address is 18eQJRj5dMVtT1TeGr3sVesmFBruCq6f8F. If someone tells you to send to another address, it is a scam.
BE PREPARED TO SIGN A MESSAGE FROM YOUR OUTPUT ADDRESS IN CASE OF PROBLEMS.

THE CATCH:
I've produced digitally-printed proofs of the poster design, but I'm not sharing photographs until the actual print run has commenced, because a digital proof and a real silkscreen print are so very different that one would not serve as a fair substitute for the other. I'll reveal detailed photographs of the actual silkscreened posters once the print run is complete, but PRE-ORDERS WILL BE PURCHASING THIS POSTER BLIND. If you're concerned about this, check the previous sale thread to get an idea of what to expect: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.40 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.40)

HOW DO WE KNOW THIS ISN'T A SCAM?
Good question! You should check my trust ratings here on the forum, as well as my OTC Web of Trust ratings.

HOW DO WE KNOW THE POSTER ISN'T GOING TO SUCK?
It's the best Bitcoin poster. You're going to love it. Not sure? Just wait for the pictures! The discounted early-bird price is a thanks for going out on a limb, but any remaining posters that haven't been claimed by the 15th at noon will be available for sale, with more pretty pictures each day so you know exactly what you're going to get.

By checking out the process photos, starting here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1387250.msg14270969#msg14270969).

THE COUNT:
As of right now, 82 posters have been sold, 1 remains. Please see resellers to obtain a copy.

Sign me up as an early bird. Want me to pay right now? ;)

Also, are you still on IRC? Haven't seen you in #bitcoin-otc in ages.

Official USD-BTC conversion rate for the purposes of this thread is https://winkdex.com/calculator (https://winkdex.com/calculator). Be honest!


PM me your mailing address and txid! Haven't been on IRC in a while 8)

One early bird poster for me please ;)
I need to get it shipped to Europe (Austria). Please send me a PM with your payment address and the amount to pay.

Done. ;)

im in i want the lowest number available.  will send payment and tx id once complete

edit:  one question before i pay.  if these are flat shipped how will they be protected from damage.  your answer will determine my method of shipment.

Will this be a totally original design or resemble the first poster you did? I'd buy one if it's a new design

I'm an expert shipper -- ask anyone who's ever received a package from me.

The last batch was the first time I ever flat-shipped something this big, so I did some stress tests: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.msg8674055#msg8674055 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.msg8674055#msg8674055)

That said, if you don't mind your print having a curl, tube shipping is fine. Some people REALLY hate it when artwork is rolled because the curl tends to set in the paper; just as many others don't mind. If you're not planning on getting it framed, it's probably not worth spending the extra money on flat packing. Please don't use thumbtacks either way 8)


I think the text of the original design is quite eloquent, so I think I'll keep that generally unchanged and drastically modify the colour palette and specific details of the design itself, while keeping the same general flow and overall shape and feel of the original. The intent is that the two pieces can be appreciated individually, or provide a striking juxtaposition when placed side by side. Think day vs night, opposite sides of the mirror, etc.

If you're not sure, you can always wait until I start posting photos!

For those who missed out on getting a first edition, here's some process pictures that you may find interesting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.msg8575850#msg8575850 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.msg8575850#msg8575850)

Daily bump. Four prints sold already! You guys are art fanatics. It's really encouraging to see a market for artwork that isn't just lame digitally-printed images (AKA colour photocopies ;) ).

Obviously folks around here understand the value of hand-printed items.

One early bird for me as well please!

ill take one, collecting the set :)

I will also take one of the early bird copies. I have one of the first editions...might as well collect these also.

All three of you please send funds to address in OP and PM me your mailing address, unless I already have it permanently etched into my brain from all the coins I've mailed there in the past 8)

Got the colour scheme finalized and it's looking pretty rad! Diving into the individual components of the design now to smarten everything up. Going for lots of fine detail in this one.

Current cost for a single poster & shipping based on today's rates:

Roll shipped: 0.146 BTC
Flat shipped: 0.195 BTC
Extras (each): 0.1 BTC

Sounds good nubbins!

Just paid .195 to address in OP.

Will PM you my address.

Thanks!

Current cost for a single poster & shipping based on today's rates:

Roll shipped: 0.144 BTC
Flat shipped: 0.192 BTC
Extras (each): 0.1 BTC

8 sold so far! Thanks, folks!

Can you provide any pictures of the design yet? Cant wait to see how it looks like ;D
I may purchase another one for my friend, which will cost me another 0.1 BTC, right?

Will these posters suck as bad as the last ones I bought?

love surprises! BTC sent. Thanks nubbins.

Was that an attempt at humour or you just being an asshole for the sake of it?

Tip: Irony does not translate well when written down.

nubbins wanted to enter my life again dredging up his old grudges. I would be happy to let the past be the past but he is not. His first run of posters were pretty childish. I was genuinely disappointed with them when I got them but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Then he started attacking me... so here I am.

Ah ok, you went with the second option then. The original run was sold blind, like winning the lottery or pulling the short straw - you just got to live with it. I happen to think the first poster is vibrant, original, colourful and many others have said the same. Infact the only reason this second run is being produced is because people missed out and there was interest in a new run. Some people were looking to buy a copy of the original a few weeks ago, so if you really didn't like it you missed the chance to offload.

TECSHARE, thanks for the free bumps! It saves me the trouble.

Two more posters sold since TECSHARE's vendetta spilled out into this sale thread. I'll update OP with quantities and respond to all PMs today.

FWIW our troll friend bought 10 (!) copies of the original poster. I later gave him (and everyone else) the option of a partial refund on his shipping (purchasers of the original series can verify this), but he chose to decline. Somehow in his broken, paranoid brain, this turned into me scamming him.

If you can't simply ignore TECSHARE (the button is right there under his name), maybe you can at least have a chuckle at the fact that he purchased $400 worth of goods that are now worth $1500 and he claims he's gonna burn them out of spite. Then maybe take a look at his psycho post history. Then maybe pop on over to the scam accusation thread where I spell out precisely why he left me bogus negative feedback in an attempt to extort me.

Although probably the best course of action is to just ignore the idiot and not quote or respond to anything else he says, which is what I'll be doing. I encourage others to do the same.

New design is a bit behind because we had a huge rush order for a luxury hotel come in; discount pricing is extended for a few days until I can start posting photos :)

Price the thing in bitcoin and I'll buy one!

[This means remove mention of counterfeitables in the OP]

He already did:


Once again, is 0.1 BTC the price for an extra poster? (Because my question wasn't answered before and I want to make sure)

From OP: 

THE PRICE:
Early Bird pricing for this print is $40.

That's already the early bird pricing. The extra costs (0.04 BTC /0.09 BTC) are just shipping costs. A single poster costs about 0.1 BTC

He's got a point. Unfortunately ink, paper, squeegees, mesh, and frames are still priced in dollars. I eagerly await the arrival of a BTC-only art supplies market.


Sorry, yes! Lost your question in the noise :) Extra posters are 0.1 each.

Ok then! Payment for another one sent::
https://blockchain.info/tx/52972eeffae802569e62e7541efb691389214d6d044347875055090ff95db6d7

Payment well received! Quantities updated in OP. Early-bird pricing still in effect.

Poster is now looking like an 8-layer print instead of a 6-layer. First screens burned today, putting down the background layers over the weekend.

33 posters spoken for already!

Just ordered two posters. :)

Love the look of the first one.

I'd like to buy one.
Couldn't find the design anywhere, though.

Can you send me the design, if possible?  ;D

Read the OP before posting.  By paying for the early bird you do not get to see the design until final prints are done.

Wasn't the early bird only till 15 March?

Last year, I think I extended the early bird pricing until fairly late in the actual printing process, with the idea that you get a discount for purchasing before the final design is revealed.

Laying down the first of two background floods right now, pictures later tonight / tomorrow :)

Ok, just ordered one poster (see PM)!:)

Can't wait to see the final design!

12:08:50 nubbins`: sold 8 so far, which should pay for the entire run of 100 plus a couple of prime rib roasts
^yay such retail skills


glad you fucked off and stopped polluting the logs with your smoke-addled nonsense

Looks like the #B-A cult is mad at Nubbins for daring to speak out against the divine ruler.

I'll buy one of these posters! ;D

Regards,
Chris

Sent you a PM! 35 posters spoken for, 65 remaining. Two layers down so far. Those of you who own a print from last year's edition and have spent time admiring the background sky/cloud layer will appreciate seeing what the same effect looks like with near-complementary colours.



This is actually a great time to mention that 90% of the screenprinting work we do is wholesale jobs for other artists and clients; silkscreen prints look and feel way nicer than digital prints, and for the size we're dealing with here (18x24"), they're actually way more economical, too. Most of what we do involves taking poster/print designs from independent artists and producing beautiful hand-made prints of their designs, which they can then sell to help support further art creation. It's a great way to get good, original, unique art into people's hands while also making sure the artist gets a fair cut. If any artists have any questions about silkscreen printing, shoot me a PM and I'll answer any questions you may have.


I caved! Please see OP for prices in actual units of currency.

One poster, roll shipped (N. America/W. Europe): 0.15 BTC
One poster, flat shipped (N. America/W. Europe): 0.2 BTC
Extra posters, each: 0.1 BTC

The third layer was pretty boring. This colour is called "puke yellow" and it looks like hot vomit on white paper, but has a really nice subdued lime sort of look on the dark green background.

https://i.imgur.com/oOWYngrl.jpg

Layer four was supposed to be a nice bright yellow, but the ink was just too transparent to get good coverage on a dark background.

https://i.imgur.com/LgRoNqjl.jpg

Soooo, I scraped the yellow ink off the screen, printed the layer with white ink instead, then cleaned off all the white ink and ran through the entire edition again with a yellow topcoat. Here's a print with just the white underbase, and with the yellow on top.

https://i.imgur.com/9W4beeVl.jpg

Nice and bright!

https://i.imgur.com/zvT6odkl.jpg

Since this layer ended up being two layers and took quite a bit more time than I'd planned for, I entertained myself by taking some time-lapse videos of the print process.

https://i.imgur.com/X65lrv7.gif https://i.imgur.com/KSRp1sY.gif

Really cool videos! Would be nice to see more during future steps :)

uuuh I like the choice of colors! Very nice!  :)

Layer six:Blue!
Layer seven: (more) White!
Everything's happening so fast!

https://i.imgur.com/NpEiuqG.gifhttps://i.imgur.com/nTfN5Ep.gif

I'm waiting for the eighth screen to dry right now, planning to print that later today; shooting up layer nine and *maybe * layer ten tonight. Two free colours for everyone :)

I've also been considering adding a unique hand-coloured detail to each poster, but WE'LL SEE. No promises. Maybe if we get to 50 8)

Couple of detail shots of the print thus far:

Layer 8: mid blue. Looking like 10 layers total so far.

https://i.imgur.com/FvRVZyM.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ADHlEfs.jpg

Oh, and will these be signed / numbered? (Forgive me if you've already answered this somewhere.)

Thanks,
Chris

Got it, thanks!


Yep! Each print will be individually signed and numbered.

Layer nine: red.

https://i.imgur.com/asHQbsY.jpg

Current estimate is twelve layers. I think I'm getting carried away 8)

Looks really nice, can't wait! :)

Layer 10: pink.

You can really see the height of the ink in the second photo. Check out the shadows & highlights where pink meets white.

https://i.imgur.com/P6yHfKn.jpg

Open in a new tab to view full-size... There's no counterfeiting these  8)

https://i.imgur.com/SIBpqOV.jpg

Looking like 13 layers total now. Sorry for all the suspense  :-[

The poster is starting to look ABSOLOUTELY gorgeous! I can't wait to get it hung on my living and bed room ;D

Good job nubbins!!!

More photos coming.

Early Bird pricing is still valid for the next 48 hours.

I am interested, Are you shipping to israel?
I have no problem in adding the shipping fees .
Thanks!

Sure, no sweat. Add an extra 0.025 BTC :)

UPDATE: more photos!

Rack full of prints!
https://i.imgur.com/zMvqVWn.jpg

Layer 11: beige. Detail layer, no close-up shots. Mixing the ink on the screen to work out streaks.

https://i.imgur.com/KFtFnTR.jpg

Layer 12: violet. Detail layer. No close-ups! Here's the ink getting mixed.

https://i.imgur.com/cKUkRZQ.jpg

Layer 13: black gold.

This one's straight black mixed with pure metallic gold. Tough to photograph, but it shines like satan's gold tooth if you can get the light to hit it just right.

https://i.imgur.com/qepAsR0.jpg

Before and after layer 13:

https://i.imgur.com/bPYtQvB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Vi9WQDQ.jpg

I think I only have one layer left to go. *Maybe* two. This is officially the most complicated print I've ever produced, and the final edition size will likely be less than 100, because it's very difficult to push a squeegee 4,000 times without making a few mistakes :)

I take one. ;D

Payment and shipping information sent via PM.

I can agree with all this! What will you make next?

You guys think this is his best work? I have something much nicer he made for me...

Behind glass, no less!

I want one! I just send payment (tube shipping to the Netherlands).

Got it, thanks!

44 sold, 56 remaining. I'm taking a break from printing today. I'll likely finish up tomorrow, just in time for the end of the Early Bird special :)

Sweet - I'm in, BTC sent - many thanks!

btc sent for two early bird. the second one is for a gift, thanks.

Printing is complete. Next stage is working on the hand-inked details on each poster!

I've also pared down the edition size, so there'll be less than 100 posters for sale; the original plan was for an 8-layer print, and I included an appropriate amount of extras in the edition for spoilage. Now that we're at 14 silkscreened layers with some hand-inking on the horizon, we've understandably burned through our extras and then some!

Final edition size is estimated to be approximately 80 prints, which I guess is good news for everyone who's snagged one so far; once the hand-inked details are added, I'll trim the edition, sign and number each print, post a final round of photos and declare the Early Bird pricing officially over. I'll be opening up general web sales on a dedicated site at that point as well, so expect the remaining ones to sell quickly. Packaging materials are on the way, and mailouts are looking like they should meet the end-of-month deadline, give or take a day.

Thanks again to everyone who's ordered so far, stay tuned for a mess of photos!

EDIT: Just one to keep you sated until I get a chance to post some more. Check out the sparkle in the black gold ink!

https://i.imgur.com/slnKXH6.jpg

Awesome documentation of your work!

Looking forward a lot to having it on my wall. :)

I definitely would like one! sending PM.

All finished. Final edition size is 83. Photos on the way :)

EARLY BIRD PRICING IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER.
Thanks/congrats to everyone who grabbed one early!

CURRENT PRICING:
1 poster, roll-shipped: 0.2 BTC
1 poster, flat-shipped: 0.25 BTC
Extra posters, each: 0.1 BTC

Just waiting for the shipping materials to arrive now. Estimating later this week or early next!

Super excited about receiving one of these posters! Thanks, nubbins. :)

Oh, and will we receive the number edition (#XX out of 83) in the order they were purchased / reserved, or will the numbers be assigned randomly? How's that work? (Just curious.)

Regards,
Me

I'll be sending them out according to the order in which they were purchased. I entertained requests for specific numbers last year, but it was an extreme hassle to organize :)

All outstanding orders have been packaged for shipping and will be sent out TOMORROW.

No completed photos yet, my phone camera has a speck of dust behind the glass and I'm still getting the hang of the actual camera I've borrowed  ??? ::)

I'll receive the #1 poster. ;D

Mine is #2 ;D

Any idea on how long shipping will approximately take to Europe - Austria?

Sent PM

All rolled posters have been shipped and should arrive at their destinations within a week (North America) or two (elsewhere).

Still no photos, sorry, it's been a busy couple of weeks. We rent out a room on AirBnB and had to soundproof the walls after some really noisy neighbours moved in.  :(

Flat packs will ship out tomorrow and hopefully I'll have some more photos to show by then. Stay tuned!

Is it possible for you to provide tracking numbers? Asked this via PM already but maybe it has been overlooked ;)
 

Great ! thanks for shipping that fast !

Yes, sorry. It will take me some time to sort through the piles of receipts from the post office :)

Excited to receive mine, still have the 1st one sitting in the shipping materials it came in, definately going to have to get them framed soon and hung up in my office in my new house, right next to my painting from Start The Art.

Paid for a poster. https://blockchain.info/tx/80f5da1cf2a2f09c334ef50d7d4daf0772537f5bfdfa6d61e0d0d4a0ac91b8e1
Hoping to get my hands on this one. ;D

Btw, am I supposed to preserve it with 14-layers intact? I mean 14 layers make up to a single poster giving it a 3D appearance, right? I know I sound ignorant but I have never dealt with multi-layered silk-screened poster before. :P

Got it, thanks!

You will be able to feel the texture of the different layers of ink. It's not like a 3D sculpture or anything, but there is a small amount of depth to the ink. Try rubbing your (clean) hands over it when it arrives :)

Hello

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to buy a poster as well.
Please give me more info regarding the payment and the other info required

Regards

Duke

Received my poster today! Thanks, nubbins. :)

(Unfortunately, no pics. I'm keeping the poster pristine in its unopened, original package until I can have it properly framed.)

Regards,
Me

How can I order one or two? PM me.

Received today, excellent packaging, thank you!!

I PM'd. Want two of them, in flat packs. Beautiful art (I hesitate to call them posters).
Edit; Nubbins: I have sent payment to you for 2 x Posters in flat package. 0.5 BTC. PM me and I'll send you the shipping address. Thank you in advance.

All orders have been received and all remaining packages will be sent out tomorrow. If you're still waiting for a tracking number, please PM me again to remind me, as packages seem to have started arriving.

Just realized that I still haven't posted photos of the completed poster, thanks minerjones ;)

Busy busy times, I'll get to the photos when I get to 'em, otherwise feast your eyes on the above :)

Stay tuned for news on an interesting promo another user is running, and you'll also be pleased to hear that a deadbeat who wanted 5 posters didn't pay, so there are still 32 left to grab.

I'm currently accepting wholesale buys (10+ units) to help clear out the remaining stock.

Cheers!

What's your price point for 10 units, in the same flatpack shipped within the U.S.?

I received mine nubbins, it's lovely. I can appreciate the effort that went into creating these, and I agree with others on the solid packing job. A+ would buy again :P

Are they as beautiful as they look in the pictures? Just seems like an amazing job on the screenprint.

Hi nubbins, my shipment update is pending. Kindly let me know the tracking number after you are done.
And sorry for being too impatient. :P

I want to buy but not sure how to sign a message can I still get one please?

As far as I know, nubbins will implement his own signature alongwith the art number on it.
Correct me if I am wrong though.


Oh well.

@nubbins: please don't forget the tracking number -> PMd already. Thanks :)

Same here. Waiting patiently for it to arrive. :)

Me too! Being in the EU sucks when it comes to this stuff. ;D

Did someone from europe received their poster in the meantime?
nubbins seems quite busy so I didn't received tracking id yet.

I've poster #1 and haven't received it yet so I guess it takes a little while.

Same here. Still waiting patiently :)

Ordered 2 of them, in the US and not received. I hope everything is OK.

@nubbins haven't been online in 11 days now. I hope nothing has happened.

Well, that sucks! Hope he didn't get hit by bus or worse.    :-\

Someone received their poster in the meantime?

I received mine about a week ago. (SC, USA)

Regards,
Me

Hi folks, sorry, our provincial government released a brutal austerity budget two weeks ago and there's been a flurry of protests since that's happened -- been really busy pumping out propaganda and rallying folks. Over 2,000 leaflets & posters distributed, with rallies doubling in size each week  :o

Indianacoin and IOTUSA, please PM me with a BTC address and I'll return the cost of your posters to you, with my sincerest apologies for the delays in shipping. They're finally on the way :)

Others who are still waiting on posters, please PM me (again! sorry..) and I'll sort out your tracking numbers. I still have all the slips here. Some of the packages in last year's batch took several weeks to arrive; I think only a single one was actually permanently lost in transit.

I'm much too busy right now between running my business and doing activism work / opposing the new budget, so at this point I will probably halt all retail sales of these posters and turn it over to other distributors. I believe MinerJones has shown an interest in reselling.

Links about our government's insane decisions (book tax, closing most libraries, huge gas tax, regressive taxes that hurt the poor, dismantling healthcare and education, etc) and the public reaction, with photographs of me if you know who to look for :(

Thanks everyone for your support so far and please don't hesitate to PM me with any questions or concerns. Just too much happening at this moment to keep much of an online presence at the moment. Cheers.

PM sent. Hope it works this time...

received  tracking number.
Expected delivery: Europe — 1-2 months  :o

Does Canada Post use water snails for transit??? ::)

Wait until you see how much it cost me :(

Hi, I have sent you a pm with my BTC address.
Hopefully you noticed it until now.

This is just a reminder for that.

Nubbins,
If the posters are on the way I don't see any reason for you to return the coin. I will however PM you for a volume purchase if you want to give me a discount on order 10, 20 or all of your remaining posters.

30 posters were purchased yesterday by a bulk reseller. I believe i have just two posters remaining, probably #82 and #83. If anyone would like to purchase these specific numbers, please let me know. I'll likely only ship within North America. Please see IOTUSA or minerjones for all other purchase enquiries.

Thanks again for helping support a small print shop, maybe I'll see you all again next spring :)

Dude, how do I get my hands on that one?

Haha.. I got that from a Casascius auction. IIRC my offer was contingent upon him making me a custom art piece to go with the coins.

Haven't received my poster after about a month of shipping. It is stuck at "sent item abroad) for more than 20 days now. Any help would be nice.

Has anybody in the EU received their posters?

Nope I haven't received it yet but just relax it will arrive some day (soon)

Sorry guys, all the packages were awkward sizes, and it's prohibitively expensive to mail a large package via express. All of the rolled posters ended up costing me 2x what I charged for shipping.

Packages are all on the way, I don't have any more info beyond what Canada Post says, your packages will eventually arrive, and any that don't arrive will receive a 100% refund. Patience ;)

In case you forgot, let me remind you again that the refund has not been made until now.
Kindly notice my pm for further details :)

My poster was waiting for me at home when I got back behind the iron curtain. 
Looks great! 
Thanks Nubbins, look me up on IRC :D

Good news: all posters shipped to germany arrived in Hamburg.
Bad news: DHL package center Hamburg is an effing bermuda triangle.

But let's wait and see. Glad there was a shipping update yesterday :)

Sadly, the entire Atlantic Ocean is a Bermuda Triangle for tracking packages.

If you take a look at a map of Canada, you'll find St. John's on the very, very eastern edge of the island of Newfoundland. Roughly 2,000km to the west, near the Great Lakes, is Montreal.

International packages sent from St. John's must first travel to Montreal, THEN they're sent overseas from there.

Wildly inefficient system, and now you know why shipping costs so much ;)

(Anyone who has received a "tube" / rolled poster is welcome to share a photo of the postage -- I lost HUNDREDS of $$ underestimating the cost of rolled shipping)

Today my poster arrived ! Thanks nubbins, this poster is awesome, a piece of art.

I want to send you some BTC to compensate a bit of your loss on the shippingcosts, can I send it to: 18eQJRj5dMVtT1TeGr3sVesmFBruCq6f8F ?

You can now be the owner of one of these masterpieces as a redeemable NFT! (Includes shipping to U.S. destination as part of the NFT). High quality cleaned up scan of original numbered and signed print as NFT and you can get the original shipped (already included in NFT price). With Nubbins blessing and 10% of sale price going to Nubbins as royalty for the artwork!

Do we get an NFT sent to us with the # print of the poster we already own if we own one of these and can prove it? I’ve been a fan of this poster and love the idea of it paying dividends in the form of an NFT for owners after all of these years. Nice work either way. Good idea.

Some background: neuromancer purchased the print that’s being NFT’d some time ago, and he created the digital file that accompanies it — a hi-res scan of his specific print. As each print was done by hand, each one is actually slightly different — the most noticeable area is in the gradient sky background. If you want to NFT your personal prints from this series in the same manner, a 10% cut of the sale will endow you with my blessing on the endeavor. You’d likely want to pay for a hi-res scan of your specific print, including the number and signature on the bottom, but any reasonably equipped print shop or college/university/museum should be able to assist with this.

Thank you for the input Nubbins. I will add that I had each print scanned in 300DPI (i have tiff, PDF, and high res JPG) so each NFT comes with high resolution and professionally cleaned up and color matched scan of each specific poster already, so any NFT that is purchased comes with matching digital file, of that specific poster. Figured it was worth doing it right. I would also be open to selling the 'NFT' (digital files) as well as the print here on Bitcointalk directly via Nubbins as escrow and bump the cut to 15% for the effort involved in facilitating the sale as a trusted party.

I would love to be able to provide this service, however it makes little sense for you to send me the poster to have it scanned and send it back. I recommend (see Nubbins post) using a print shop (that's what I did) to have a print-resolution scan made of the print. After that you can simply mint your own NFT on a platform of your choice. I don't claim to hold any 'rights' to the NFT creation, I simply asked Nubbins for his blessing, and offer him a cut of any sales of the posters I already own, and turn into NFT's. Since they are numbered and signed, I assume that if the quality is good, a NFT you mint of your own poster would be the 'same' as the one's I am minting as far as value and uniqueness.

If you would like one of my NFT's with the poster shipped I would be happy to trade for any other crypto memorabilia you would like to part with. I own a few Nastycoins myself and love them, for example.

This may sound like a noob question, but I'm curious to know how much are these posters worth today? I have one stored in my basement collecting dust. Happened to find it after doing some cleaning at home. I could sell my poster if I'm offered good money for it...

Pictures dont give these justice.

I fully agree. These are great posters. I also framed mine in very similar frames (with no matting) and have them hanging in my house. Nobody ever asks about them, but they should because they’re awesome. I only wish they had been loaded with some BTC back when they were created so that their value could have risen like they deserved to. Wish I could have something similar custom made for myself. Everything down to the style of art is great.

awesome, they look even better framed :o
are these still available to order somewhere?

it's their fault that I discovered this section of the forum

The original poster (with quality framing) is one of my top 10 favorite crypto-collectibles of all time. I cherish my copy (as it chills on my office wall). :)

If they were loaded then I most likely would not have these. So I am grateful there are some older, non-funded bitcoin art in the wild for us to find and enjoy. But I understand where you are coming from. The things that held value against bitcoin the best over the years were funded bitcoin collectibles.



Sold out long time ago but auction comes up every once in a while.
