It was 5 minutes after the deadline.    I'm sorry.  I have to stick to the rules.

Winning bid.  Congrats!

I like the concept of this art piece.  Great use of Zimbabwe currency.

One of the nicer vanity addresses I've seen. 

Thanks.  I tried to go with the best available option.

This sounds very similar to purse.io.

If you use this tool to accelerate your transactions you can get away with using a 0.0001BTC/KB fee.

Physical wallets utilizing this method are another option, although they require 3rd party trust.

You could download the blockchain via a torrent network.  While it probably isn't the smartest idea, you should be able to download the entire chain in less than 24 hours.

I'm told these coins have been minted and sent off for gold highlighting.  It won't be too much longer.

I didn't blur it.  I believe there is room for quality improvement in several areas, which is why I am switching suppliers for future prints.

AUCTION:
This is an auction for 2 more bitpic prototypes.  The prototypes are just that, prototypes.  As such, the images are promo shots, the border may be partially cutoff (prototype #2) or chipped (prototype 1), the public addresses are unique to the prototypes, and they have been handled more than a final product.  Prototype 1 is printed on an 8x10 aluminum sheet and prototype 2 is printed on a 5x7 aluminum sheet, both are signed in gold pen, engraved with a Bitcoin private key matching the public key QR code on the front, loaded with 0.01 BTC, and labeled as a prototype (#3 & #4).  It is worth noting that I will be using a new supplier for future bitpics, and hopefully these prototypes will be the last.

UNIQUENESS:
A few things make these prototypes unique.  While the last prototypes carried 1NastyArt vanity addresses and their QR codes linked to the vanity blockchain.info page, these newer prototypes are functional, meaning they carry 1bitpicX addresses with QR codes that link to their bitpic.org page.  I am also still trying to land on an engraving style for the back, and as such the logos are different on each prototype.  Additionally, they no longer carry holograms on the front due to a new design and are the first items I've engraved using my recently purchased engraver.

The proposed photovoltaic system will produce more than 2/3's of the electricity required to operate our current equipment.  Also worth mentioning, the system can be expanded upon if necessary and I have already started exploring additional green energy sources.
