Title: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on July 18, 2016, 12:56:23 AM Introducing
WE-ARE-SATOSHI . COM (http://www.we-are-satoshi.com) https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/m1/test.php?ft=&top= Water mark "Naypalm" is not in final product. For OP display purposes only. Features: Over 12,000 public user avatars from the BitcoinTalk.org forum On the website, they are in order from 1 to 860,000+ Dynamically updating so if you change your avatar, it will update*. About: Scans are being made July 14 thru July 25 2016 of every user avatar on the BitcoinTalk.org forum. Scans take ~10 days. Fun Facts: - Out of the 860,000+ users, only around 12,200 registered members have an avatar. - Only 10,195 are unique, so a little over 2,000 were spam ad avatars. Why? Simply because it was another one of my "what if?" projects. I was simply curious and wanted to see if I could make something out of nothing. Coming Soon: Unique Series Mosaic images, lithograph/inkjet posters, and canvas may be available. Donations: BTC Donations are greatly appreciated at 1LNziaNAwJSfMgpnFMKiwYFGDx47Q55qS6 I am hoping to get some great art pieces posted up for sale soon. Feedback is greatly appreciated! :) *eventually. -----+++++-----+++++-----+++++-----+++++-----+++++-----+++++-----+++++ Updates: 9-16-2017 The Mosaic ID search is now working after a year of hiatus. Mosaic ID Search (https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/m1/) I am working on a much more stabler front page as well as a way to start selling canvas and paper poster prints. 7-24-2016 Small update, scanning is almost complete. It is now at 802,000 and should finish up overnight. Total scan time for this project is ~10 days. Phew! :o Later on this week, I will post up examples of some designs and will consider everyone's opinions, so please participate!

Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: OgNasty on July 18, 2016, 04:28:45 AM Cool idea.
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: batesresearch on July 18, 2016, 05:30:22 AM Awesome idea! I'll be adding a avatar today ;D
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Joel_Jantsen on July 18, 2016, 12:22:38 PM Nice.How do you form an image out of it ? I mean is the Bitcoin logo composed off the avatars from bitcointalk ?
A Feature Request : It would be cool to type in my user ID and then it points out where my exact avatar is in the picture. :) Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: cloverme on July 18, 2016, 12:43:34 PM Pretty cool, an interesting development for the community here. How did you go about collecting all the avatars?
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Lutpin on July 18, 2016, 12:46:42 PM Interesting thing, definitely a very cool idea. Now where am I? :D

I mean is the Bitcoin logo composed off the avatars from bitcointalk ? A Feature Request : It would be cool to type in my user ID and then it points out where my exact avatar is in the picture. :) Glad you like it! I am using a collection of programs and scripts which take each of the 9,700 BitcoinTalk avatar images and pieces them together based on their average color. I am hoping to implement a feature for the website, not sure about the picture. This is in the very early stages of development so hopfully something can be implemented. Thanks for the input! :) Pretty cool, an interesting development for the community here. How did you go about collecting all the avatars? I ran a 10 line script which iterated against each members avatar id jpg URL until I reach the current count of members. Thanks for asking :) Interesting thing, definitely a very cool idea.

D'oh ;) Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: cartell0 on July 19, 2016, 05:17:57 AM Quote Fun Fact: Out of the 860,000+ users, only 9,772 members had an avatar. Thats because there are more newbies, jr members and members compares to other higher ranks.Btw are you willing to make a poster out of it in future?

That is very true, I almost forgot about that limitation for new members. As for printing a poster, I may consider a poster once I have some designs made.

In any case, store the previous images then, because with this you could make an animation of the dynamically changing images and thus have some kind of timelapse over the months/years. Dat true dynamic! ;D Rico Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on July 19, 2016, 04:34:24 PM Dynamically updating so if you change your avatar, it will update*.

Differential and incremental backups of all avatars :) Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on July 20, 2016, 02:00:05 AM Lots of skipped gif's and jpg's are now showing up on the website. It's nice to see the old gif's again.

I was simply curious and wanted to see if I could make something out of nothing. Lol. Nice ! Anyway, I guess you have a crawler in place. I would be good to also show bitcointalk username, bitcoin address, trust rating and email address and give a fast search on these.

Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Redrose on July 20, 2016, 10:55:56 AM I love it ! That's a really awesome project ! Now I'll have to find my avatar :P. But tell me, did you included people having promotional avatars ?
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Lutpin on July 20, 2016, 12:17:54 PM I love it ! That's a really awesome project ! Now I'll have to find my avatar. But tell me, did you included people having promotional avatars ? Yes. I skimmed it for avatar campaigns when initially checking and I could find patterns of pd avatars, aswell as some rollin/bitcointalk.club and asorted other avatars.Interestingly, there are rather long strings in the low numbers, where services created 10 or more new accounts and set their avatar (back when it was possible for users below full member status).

Thank you for the answer. Now I'll have to find my avatar, but since it makes my web browser crash, I'll maybe won't be able to ever do it :-\. Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on July 20, 2016, 07:36:51 PM You have plenty of time to upload an avatar as my re-scan of jpg and gif avatars is at around #270,000.
At the moment I have only the first 2500 images loading as I work on the interface a bit, and hopefully come up with a way to pre-load blocks so that Chrome works. At the moment only IE is recommended. Is it Friday yet? Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Straux on July 21, 2016, 12:39:57 PM My page's still loading ;~;
This is so cool. I can only tell by the low-res image given on the thread, though. Any idea what that avatar is that's taking up like 20% of the image, especially in the lower section of the image? Set the html tag for each image to the userID!!!! You said that they're sorted by color, but the OP says they're sorted from 1 to 820k. You also said that it's only showing the 8+k avatars. Which one!?!? Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on July 21, 2016, 01:51:53 PM My page's still loading ;~; This is so cool.

Which one!?!? :) Haha, sorry about the confusion. The 9,700 avatars I initially scanned (only png's) is what is going to be used in a mosaic. The 9700 was used in the OP test mosaic above. I'm now at 12,000 avatars now including gif's and jpgs. The avatars are sorted only for the mosaic. On the website, we-are-satoshi.com, the avatars are in order however not everyone has an image so it jumps from uid 10 to 1000 very quickly. Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: boomboom on July 24, 2016, 05:39:13 AM cool idea, might get some media attention for crypto

Price and pictures soon to follow. Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: OgNasty on July 28, 2016, 12:20:59 AM Scanning has completed. First design has been posted, please let me know what you all think. Definitely cool. I'm looking forward to hearing more information about the poster. I did have a comment on the design... It seems like some of the avatars are highly used, either because they are stock images or because they are connected to a signature program of some kind. Would it be possible or beneficial to remove the duplicate avatars? Might make it a little more unique if every picture was an original. Although that might severely limit the number of avatars.

Would it be possible or beneficial to remove the duplicate avatars? Might make it a little more unique if every picture was an original. Although that might severely limit the number of avatars. My thoughts exactly. :) Sunday, I ran through the 12,200 avatars and removed about 2,000 of the duplicates. This way, the avatars that make up the canvas & poster mosaic are larger and easier to see. The website will continue to display all avatars that it is able to scan, as I feel that goes hand in hand with the projects name, We are Satoshi. I hope to optimize the website as well as develop a way for users to look up their avatar image by number, and have it highlight it on a web version of the mosaic, as well as the list. Thank you for your thoughts, I will post more soon. Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: AmDD on July 28, 2016, 01:13:55 AM Awesome idea! Tried to find mine.... got lost..... :-\
I cant wait to see what all you come up with! Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on July 28, 2016, 05:50:02 PM Awesome idea! Tried to find mine.... got lost..... :-\ I cant wait to see what all you come up with! You are located at the bottom right. (Your avatars upper left corner of the screenshot below). https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/AmDD.png Mosaic overview is finished but the search feature is still being developed. I hope to have that set up soon. https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/m1 Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Kprawn on July 29, 2016, 11:36:14 AM Wow, now that is what I call living Art! ;D ..... It sends out a clear message and it's a brilliant concept. I think I will add a unique Avatar soon, if it is still allowed? I know it was blocked before for some
reason, but I will check again. I will definitely make a little donation for this effort and get a snap shot for the friends and family, when they ask me.. " Who is Satoshi again? " ;D ;D Hope to see some of your work again in the near future, it is definitely a joy to experience this. ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on August 13, 2016, 01:22:47 AM Small update: I have ordered and received a test poster which arrived today, and so far, I like it! I will have to check with my printer to see why some were chopped off or if I have to adjust the resolution to fit their poster plotter size. Other than that error, so far so good. What does everyone think? I can't wait to try it out on canvas :)
I may open up a few slots to pre-order once I am certain that all avatars are present on the final print. Please voice your interest and I may begin pre-ordering for Posters, and maybe canvas. https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/testPrint1_smm.jpg (https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/testPrint1.jpg) 24" x 36" matte Poster Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: rico666 on August 13, 2016, 09:16:49 AM Where am I?

Rico Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on August 13, 2016, 01:17:18 PM Where am I? Where am I?? Oh such vanity - almost unbearable! :P Rico I'm very close to enabling search function to the m1 gallery. I'll look yours up in a bit and get back with you. EDIT: Sadly it seems your avatar was not updated in time to make it to the m1 rendering. :( However it should show up in future instances. I have added it to the pool of avatars on the website. Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on August 23, 2016, 02:10:27 PM Very minimal update: Still waiting on my second test print, my printer is having a bit of a delay in processing my prints.
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on October 04, 2016, 02:21:59 AM Test print 2: and all 10,520 avatars are on the poster. Let me know what you think.

Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on October 04, 2016, 06:06:47 PM Thanks, I hope to have a poster for sale soon. This is a really cool piece of art that is connected to the forum and its users. :)
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: apoorvlathey on October 09, 2016, 06:14:38 PM The poster looks awesome !
One question that is unanswered : Where am I ??? The search feature is not working. naypalm help me :) Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: Raimonn on October 11, 2016, 01:49:20 PM Wow, looks very nice. Wich will be the price of the poster?
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: OgNasty on June 22, 2017, 12:50:28 AM Is this project still on the table?
Title: Re: [ANN] - WE-ARE-SATOSHI Dynamic Art Project Post by: naypalm on September 16, 2017, 06:33:36 PM Is this project still on the table? Yes, and I finally had time to get the mosaic ID search working. Feel free to give it a try! Right click on your avatar or another members avatar and click on Copy Image Address. Paste that into the mosaic ID search (https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/m1/) and the location of your avatar will be revealed. https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/m1/test.php?ft=368&top=448 (https://www.we-are-satoshi.com/m1/) I hope to start getting more prints soon to sell. Sorry about the delay. I didn't want to begin sales until I knew that I could devote more time to the project. naypalm |
