So I live in the oldest town in Europe, Vinkovci

and there is this monument that isn't really maintained, it's from around 1897 or so I think

It's in the center of the city, next to the walking zone, Saturdays are filled with people in the park where the logo is located, it will get lots of exposure
Near the bus stop, near the gymnasium (visible at the right on the google maps picture below), right in front of the Great Church and between a couple of coffee shops

This is the initial monument

Since it's full of jibber-jabber, I decided to make a bitcoin logo
It isn't really visible in the dark, looks a lot better during the day

The monument can be viewed from a distance on google maps

Saturdays get really crowded up there, there is a festival called Vinkovci autumn where around 500 000 people visit the town, when it happens all of them will see the logo in the center of the city :D

Accepting donations

Cant see fuck all but you want donations for crappy vandalism?

the whole town is vandalised, so is the monument, filled with peoples names and shit, no one takes care of it

since everyone is using it why not take advantage of it? :D

okay, I admit

I didn't make this, I'm not a vandal, I would never draw stuff on our monuments, I love this town, just stumbled upon it, but nice to know someone else in this small community also uses bitcoins :D

That shitty B is soo lame! :D

Next time do something like that:

read the reply #4 :D

Go and over spray it with this artwork :D

If everyone started murdering each other would you join in?


Yeah, right  :D.

Should report your IP to the local cops.

Looks like weve found the identity of Banksy.

lol. Guess that monument is worth a lot now then.

*facepalm* Do you even read the thread before posting? ::)

He probably did it but is just backtracking now.

Yeah, like he isn't lying.
Tell something, get bad reputation and tell you wasn't serious. Seems legit...

He's probably more embarrassed about how shit it is lol.

Yeah :D

5 years could do that, that is just one letter with 2 lines :P

nah, I just wanted to lie to get some bitcoins donated

the plan backfired so I came out with  the truth..

Why would people donate for that? I can hardly even see it.

Tell that to the police when they kick your door in lol.

I have no idea

I'v seen people donate for some photshopped pictures

Thought I would get some too, when I saw it seemed a bit better then it is lol :D
I had it in my mind for a couple of days to take a picture but thought I'd get at least 1 donation :D

got squad :D

at least for the effort, I had to carry my phone in my pocket, take 2 pictures, upload them, write a new thread and post them here :D

okay, I will lol

:D

Why did you take them at night?

Why did you take take that photo at night?
Because you made that graffiti at night :P

Probably because he was cared of getting caught. Go take another in daylight.

For mprep.
This is why I posted it, I've read the previous posts and disregarded them.

Either that or he just realised how claiming to be responsible for vandalism can get him in trouble lol.

Especially since he gave us the exact address.

Lol
God damn it, why does no one trust me at the internet :D
The picture was taken at night because I live outside the town and I get in the center only when I go out, at night of course
Ths thread is making me laugh so hard :D

I would never do such  a thing
For starters I never used paint, I'm well known to be one of the guys who loves the town, I alwYs brag how we're the 2nd oldest town in the world, did 2 articles about it in our local newspaper :D
I folloe our football club altough we fell out  the first division, I'm like the bigest local patriot around
Would never harm a monument since I'm a historian too, spend my time learning our history even went on regional championship twice..
This goes against everything I believe in
I just took a picture to get some donations, that's all

*cough* bullshit *cough*. Enjoy your jailtime, punk lol.

Fuck you :D

You should go clean it off if you're such a monument historian. Take a picture and then maybe people might donate to your clean up operation.

You lied in the first place or you are lying now so you lost some trust.


Yes indeed good idea!

I can post contest results and newapaper articles if you want me too :P


I'm wasting my time explaining

It was a joke, I posted this for fun..

You guys take this too seriously


I don't actually need donations, it was a joke
And why would I clean it?
I don't even know how and there are much older monuments that deserve care more then this one

For the last time I will say I didn't do it, you guys believe what you want..

Hey,
I have a group of talented graffiti artists and can do any graffiti professionally. I was thinking maybe a 5m round bitcoin on the side of the hi-rise building ? ;)

 
Oh my god, it was a joke

What makes you think we aren’t joking?

You can tell that to the judge. "It was just a joke, your honor" lol.

I don't know, never thought british people could joke around :D

1) That's a moronic thing to say, and 2) Who said I was British?

now, that was a joke :D

besides I read it somewhere and your profile says Kingdom of the United :D

If I said I lived in Narnia would you believe me?

nope, my profile says Kings Landing but I got the impression you're british before I checked your profile

I must have seen it somewhere

Living in the Kingdom of United doesn't necessarily make you British.

 I said I got the impression from somewhere else earlier , doesn't mean I wasn't mistaken :D

maybe your post was but mine wasn't  :)

interesting but rename the video :D

He's making this too easy.
Now he's going into a defensive stance and writing a lot of useless text to get out of trouble.

Quite possibly.

Has there actually been any cool Bitcoin grafiti yet?

Did you see this? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=575599.msg6280751#msg6280751

I don't know is it anywhere else than internet tough...

makes a tag, says its a graffito
does not even know singular form of graffiti...

shame on you!

I wonder if Banksy will ever encorporate a Bitcoin logo into his work. Thatd be cool.

Hopefully oneday.

Hows the weather there this time of year?

In Narnia or the UK?  ;D

A fun idea, but poor execution IMHO.

Why not use a stencil to do something that looks better?  Why not put this mark on a local Bank or financial institution?  Seems a better target than a historical column.

yeah, indeed but I can't move logos with my mind so I took a picture of this one :D

Now he's acting like he only took a picture of it, but didn't actually make it.
What would be worse: a) You actually did make this - vandalism; b) You tried to take credit for someone else's work ?

This is really shitty crooked letter and this alone. Graffiti is art and that ugly BTC is just horrible. This is clearly only vandalism to me. You said that there were a lot of inscriptions on that statue.This is no reason to add another even uglier one. I would donate BTC only to  pay for restoration of this statue and to erase this crass BTC sign.

I beg to differ, graffiti can be vandalism if some kid buys a spray can and scribble "fuk da polize" on the wall but graffiti can also be considered as art and require much more effort and talent. We have special spots designed for graffiti made available by the city council and we are not vandals. Can't say we don't bomb international trains occasionally and do wholecars but thats completely different story ;)

Graffiti can be considered art, but it's still vandalism if you don't get permission regardless of how much artistic intent there is.
