Goes to show you artists would like to start getting paid in bitcoin for their artistic attributes.

Atleast I thought it was pretty cool! ;D

It definitely is cool. People are realizing the potential of bitcoin. And seeing an artist accepting payment in BTC makes me very happy. Soon, there will be days where everyone would start accepting bitcoin.

Really cool, sure. But I definitely won't be surprised if someone else sort of paints over the QRCode and changes it to another wallets QRCode instead.
Also, I couldn't scan the QRCode with my phone, unfortunately.

Lmfao I wouldn't have thought of that if you didn't bring it up. To be fair though, it's probably the most convenient way to receive tips. It's much better than displaying your bank account number, or setting up a tip jar of sorts, at least. This actually looks like a legitimate use-case lol.

Could be but it might of been put there by the artist but it does not scan because of the wall not being completely flat. Who knows.
But if someone does paint over it with theirs those funds will be traced and reported to the authorities.
We all know bitcoin transactions can be traced.
In a vain of life imitating art in a sign to the times.
The qr code can be seen on the artists website: https://www.pboy-art.com/biographie

I didn't get it from that reddit post but saw it on twitter and thought it was cool. :)

I thoroughly enjoy this. First off, the piece of art is amazing by both execution and technical standpoints. Being able to accept tips without standing in front of your work is extremely handy. However my main concern is simply being able to add your own QR code to the piece. Graffiti artists are notorious for going over each other's work (like when Banksy hit New York his work was vandalized within days). Brilliantly executed, but would require installing a piece of plexiglass over the QR code to keep it legit.

It is the start of a new trend, in future people will not carry too much change around so they will use a QR code and donate in bitcoin instead. Sales for street items can also be bought in bitcoin, but it requires standing around while waiting for the confirmations

Freaking awesome this picture is! I was gonna send the artist $5 myself but not having the address makes it impossible for me at the moment. Gonna be cool to see more stories like this in the future, especially considering some of these arts may gather a lot of money.

it is a top cool.
donations for their artistic attributes are in transparent way is the idea of something else. this is a kind of promoting trust for crypto-currencies. bitcoin now has become more famous.

Sure, transactions could be traced. So for instance, they traced the bitcoin and the bitcoins ended up on the wallet address 3Justanexamplelolhahahahahahahaxd. What do they do now? They can't sort of contact like the "bitcoin customer service" or something. The person could easily get away if he/she doesn't use centralized wallets like Coinbase.

This is a good campaign for french society, they must accept this that bitcoin has been well received there.
this is important news in europe and i am sure all countries will accept it too. in the end all countries will recognize that the future is already in the fore, bitcon will be the solution for the world banking.

The movement is very good for the promotion of bitcoin. It is important to know that Paris is a big city with a population concentration in the world, and the news of bitcoin is very cool. I think soon there will be more bitcoin messages in some big cities.

They could trace that address because it does look as if it is a vanity address and then trace it back to the entity that published this address.
Everything to do with bitcoins if traceable to a certain extent.
Just look at all the bitcoins that have been confiscated by the fbi and other secret agencies. They have their sources to find out anything. Why else do you think the Trump administration is trying to cover up most of the things they have done being in office for the past 6 months? They ended up firing people and denouncing the fbi so they were not traced back to this president.
But that is besides the point of this post. lol.
If they want to remain completely anonymous then they would use another coin other than bitcoin to accept the donations.
Ones like monero, dash or even verge for that matter.
But those are not as widely known as bitcoin. So this might be why they chose to use this one since anyone who has some on their wallets would just send it if they liked his art work.
By the way he does have a litecoin tip jar on his site and another one when I glanced at the link I posted above.

Indirectly, the artist's work has campaigned that artists support the existence of bitcoin as a method of payment for transactions. Hopefully, the results of this work can make people around the world, especially in the French countries are aware that the technology brought by bitcoin able to improve the economic problems of society.

Gotta support the artist. Donated some satoshis :)

What the all I want to say this is amazing and it's a big WOW!!!!
Promoting bitcoin while getting donations (passive income).
This is very cool!

Yeah just like what the discussions on reddit, this guys masterpiece will be used by some lazy stranger.

How can you, it can't be detected though.

Paris did it with a style. France is known to it's sophistication in arts and strong economy and advance technology. I wasn't expecting such artistic way to ask for donations in bitcoin. One thing is for sure, we will be seeing more cool things like this in the future. I am just hoping that donations will be sent to the right organizations and not being cut down and donations that ended up being small upon reaching the desired beneficiary.

Donations in Bitcoin, that's exactly what bitcoin was made for. This is a great way to use and to promote bitcoin. And the artwork is worth donating bitcoin to the artist. A great piece of art and with the QR code it's a nice combination with modern technology.

I don't think bitcoin has been made for donations. Donations can promote bitcoin. But donations is not bitcoin purpose. Donations can be also made using fiat.

From the site I bolded and underlined above.
It has his bitcoin address for receiving tips to and has a litecoin / ethereum address if you are worried about the transfer fee being to high for sending in a donation.

this is just an indication that bitcoin is making its niche in people's life and its purpose comes in many forms. This is definitely amazing in the first place.

Thank you for this one! this is much appreciated in the world of crypto and i know some of you guys are happy to see this one. I visited an article that in western part of europe they built a revolt of bitcoin. not sure where is that place but this thing is going to adopt soon.

It looks impressive! Hopefully they will get lots of it.

this is very cool, in my opinion this is a very good way to promote bitcoin, so bitcoin is getting known in all circles of society, and this art work is really worth to get donation with bitcoin

because many peoples already know about bitcoin nowadays, donation can be using with bitcoin too.
the good thing is the artist using bitcoin for good example, donation.

Well if it doesn't scan then it won't really matter if it's painted over lol. But yeah, there's always a way to swindle money out of good people, so that can't really be helped. In this case you just have to hope no one is desperate enough to steal tips. The threat of being caught through blockchain evidence is pretty low for people who know what they're doing, so you can't count on that to dissuade people who really want to steal.

I visited his site and his works look really cool. He also seems really into Bitcoin too. He probably paints that QR for every artwork because I can see a stencil in one of the photos. If he keeps doing it then it probably works for him.

nice found. i've never seen anything like that before. i hope somebody really donates some satoshis to the artist and that nobody changes the qr code on the image. that would be really bad.

Yes! I saw it on Reddit. It's amazing really! ;)

This is a good way of getting donation even without your presence in the area. Before artists and others who ask for donation are placing a box, hat, cap or any other container so that passerby could give them money. They are not leaving their container so that nobody could take it away. So accepting bitcoin as a donation is very helpful since you do not need to stay at the area and you can just leave your qr code to do the work for you.

It is a start for those who do street performances and not just artwork on the streets.
We all pass by these type of contributions to the art world in one form or another.
And this is a much better way to show our gratitude towards these individuals instead of putting coins in their cans or hats who perform at the sides of the road.
It is also much more cleaner to transfer crypto to their wallets then deal with dirty dollar bills or coinage. ;D

I doubt if anybody would report a scam of a few donations into a different Bitcoin addresses. Bitcoin transactions are not totally anonymous, but the record of authorities in catching cyber criminals is dismal. They definitely are not going to put a lot of effort into catching a petty scamster.

Wow! That painting looks like it is worth some satoshis, If we could just throw them in a can of those man on a street, lol!

That is the real reason why he put his qr code on the painting so you would not have too. :D
Just send those few satoshis straight to his wallet with a quick scan and send from your mobile wallet. ;)

If and investor have much to donate it is still wrong to donate, it is a better way of appreciating the efforts been put for the artwork beautification

wow that is very interesting. People are seeing the power of bitcoin. And seeing an artist accepting payment in BTC makes me very happy it shows freedom of payment. if future everyone will accept crypto.

That’s one way promoting bitcons. I hope that more institutions, especially charitable ones, would start accepting donations in bitcoins.

This is also a nice promotion of bitcoin for that place, it will help a lot to spread the knowledge on bitcoin or cryptoworld.

Really cool! I'd probably tip it a bit if i saw it in the wild. :)

Well no doubt though it can happen sooner or later and now that bitcoin is growing and recognizing , and gaining tons of its popularity , it open a lot of new opportunities so i say?? , long live bitcoin.

However my main concern is simply being able to add your own QR code to the piece. Graffiti artists are notorious for going over each other's work

Nice. The fusion of art and technology! But from a different perspective, this could serve as a subtle form of outdoor advertising too. I love it!

That's a great idea because popularity of bitcoin will get help from it. It might encourage other people to join bitcoin and their perspective about bitcoin may change. Art could be use to introduce bitcoin and it's a great help to advertise it. Just imagine the impact of that which could change the status of bitcoin in a good way.

People are slowly adopting btc into their lives. This is good news for BTC's future. In a short time, BTC will be widely used and well known.

Yes obviously this is very cool, at one place where we want a bitcoin to become a central currency world wide and could be legalised globally and on another place Paris art work artist wants donation in the form of bitcoin and I think this is very good news that now is condition is that good not only in payment, people wants bitcoin in the form of donations also and yes this is pretty cool and the era of bitcoin has been started finally.

 This is the most talented advertising of bitcoin that I've ever seen)

That is so cool.
It seems to me like, all around the world, we don't appreciate art enough. Artists seem to be too poor given how much efforts they spend on their products and talents that they have. I will definitely give this guy some money if I am rich.

This is really great news. The more advertising, the more people hear and see things adopting crypto into their space-bubbles the better, it widens our community and encourages the crypto trend

The most beautiful and unobtrusive bitcoin advertising)

They are not leaving their container so that nobody could take it away. So accepting bitcoin as a donation is very helpful since you do not need to stay.And seeing an artist accepting payment in BTC makes me very happy it shows freedom of payment.

If an investor has many clients to donate, it is still wrong to donate, which is a better way to appreciate the effort that has been given to the beauty of the artwork. wow very interesting. And seeing an artist accepting payment by BTC made me very happy that it showed the freedom of payment.
