Title: 🎃 Bitcoin Collectible Pumpkin Carving Contest -Halloween Time Fun 🎃
Post by: ChiBitCTy on October 11, 2019, 05:17:42 PM
Hello Community- a couple years ago a few of us here had posted pictures of pumpkins carved with bitcoin themes. So.. I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in having a little contest.  I would put up the prize for the winner (community would vote). My thoughts were giving free reign to anything cryptocurrency related, meaning you wouldn't just have bitcoin to use for the pumpkin.  I have quite a few ideas for what would make for a cool design idea, but being that there are some really amazing artists here..I'm sure there are some way better ones out there you guys could come up with.

Just wanted to see if there was really any interest here before I made it "official".

Here's what I came up with two years ago (which I also messed up pretty badly lol ).

Have no creative skills but my kids so young they don't know yet. I am in for a pumpkin.

That would be great to have them participate here!

I have no skills either! Just fun to try.

Yo, that's a great idea, let me bump it. Halloween is not that popular around here, but I can give it a try if I find a pumpkin to buy. No need a prize, advertising bitcoin (or crypto in general) it's enough prize for me :)

Can I vote for a Small One? Pumpkin here in our country is very hard and quite small to be used for carving... Though it may ruin the halloween theme if other Veggie/Fruits were to be used. But if can be Granted I'd suggest a watermelon instead.

Would like to participate as well even though I too don't have a talent on carving. 😉

You could use a small pumpkin sure. It's Halloween time here so def sticking w/pumkins however.

Nah man mine are worse, see above for proof. I'm not even sure I'm going to do this. Not much interest.  I didn't think there would be, just thought it would be kinda fun and get everyone in the Halloween spirit.

Well, if I don't have any choice then I would be just using it though...
ByTheWay...
This is the kind of Pumpkin we have here in our country

Its not that round, but I think it could be fit for Halloween.
And I guess there would be less space for art carving... (Oh well, let me try this tomorrow and will update you all)

Oh please, let us make this happen 😊

I don't know if you  plan any contest in the end, but here are my bitcoin pumpkins, first time making a bit more complicated design, i must say it was fun :D. I had more ideas but I have to save something for next year.


After my 1st submission, homemade anniversary bitcointalk pizza (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52807587#msg52807587), here comes the 2nd, and the last one. Since we are celebrating bitcointalk anniversary, and we are in Halloween period and on top of that bitcoin whitepaper was released exactly on Halloween 2008, i decided to combine those occasions and i came up with this:


Bitcoin themed Halloween pumpkin(s)

My friend liked the pumpkin so  i decided to make one more for him

These look great! Congrats on your work. :)

I am having a delayed Halloween party on Saturday, maybe I will manage to create one myself.

We have no pumpkins here this year that's why I made a little variation.

Love seeing the pumpkins you two came up with.  I myself kinda became un-motivated but wish I had participated. Cheers for sharing!

There is always next Halloween, maybe more people will join then so we can have proper contest :)

I will surely make bitcoin pumpkins again, but with a bit more complicated design, in my country it is not easy to find good ones so i had to play it safe this year, it is easy to mess them up.
