Title: "Butterfly Effect" - The BFL Art Piece
Post by: WoodCollector on December 18, 2014, 03:09:29 AM
"Butterfly Effect"


Material: Gallery Grade Red African Padauk (http://www.woodmagazine.com/materials-guide/lumber/wood-species-3/padauk/)
Starting bid: .4BTC (Plus shipping of $7.50 in the USA )

Many a time we have been screwed by corporate fraud as a community, many of us have lost fortunes big and small. "Butterfly Effect" is an artwork that speaks to one of the larger frauds of the ASIC era when Butterfly Labs screwed over its loyal patrons costing members of this community millions of dollars.

Butterfly Effect is a 6.5" long 1.35" round, beautiful Gallery Grade Padauk dildo that instills all things butterfly labs. If you were one of those unfortunate patrons who fell victim and were royally Fu#ked by BFL dont miss your chance to bid on this original artwork to remind yourself for many years to come what happens when you put too much trust in corporate hands.

The buyer will receive a CoA (certificate of authenticity) from me usually within 1-2 weeks of receiving the artwork. As many of you who have bought my art (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=868954) already know, i use Bitcoin technology and Vanity addresses on my CoA's and it can take up to 2 weeks to generate the desired result.

"Got Wood?"

But really, great piece, I laughed out loud a bit. Imagine buying that as an art piece, displaying it and trying to explain it to relatives that have no knowledge of the Bitcoin space when they came to visit. Yeah mom/dad I swear its uhh... art... Funny story, BFL was this company that screwed me ov... uhhhhhh crap I mean....

Jokes aside, this product line would be a big hit for anybody seeking a ware depicting the logo of any company that has fucked people over. Taking the metaphor one step further, consider this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkcRZSdc8us. I'd then suggest sourcing some Norwegian hard wood species to produce subsequent models. This should keep you busy for the rest of your life. Seriously!

Art is not about business, not about "keeping busy". It is about making a statement, conveying a message in a means which is both artistic and passionate.

Back on Topic, Just under 19 hours left on the auction. Starting bid is stil .4BTC. With BTC price being down this week it a great time to get a good deal on an original work of art  :)

If you consider selling for less than 0.4 btc incl shipping to the EU, I will buy that nice "suppository"

Would look great on my nightstand :)

.4BTC is barley $125 USD at current value. The piece of Gallery Grade Red African Padauk it was carved from is valued at $150 by itself. If it does not sell at auction it will be going in the new wing of my gallery being built this spring which i am dedicating to all things art, cryptocurrency, and wood.

Considering it is for BFL you should have made it from some leftover pallet wood and charged 10X that $150.  All the while claiming everyone who didn't get it was a 'monumental asshole'.

Sarcasm/joking aside that is a wonderful idea you have there and I wish you luck in your auction. :)

Wow, I completely missed this auction. Nice piece of art. Definitely sums up my experience with BFL.  :D

I am working on another BFL art piece, i will be sure and message you first to see if you are interested in it when its done. I always give previous clients first reserve on a piece if i know what they are looking for.

As expected ToastM was trolling and never paid for the piece. Thus, PsychoticBoy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=54752) wins the auction and has made payment as of 5 minutes ago.

Congrats to PsychoticBoy!
