Yes that's definitely worth considering... for this work I chose mandarin peels because of the color and the surface that more closely resembles animal/human skin.

Thanks for your comment.

The frame is actually part of the artwork. I intentionally burned it with a Bunsen burner (put on protective paint afterwards).

I just noticed the new merit system...

I think it's a step in the right direction, but I'm not sure if it will really help to improve post quality. I can imagine a scenario, where only a minority of users ever receives merit and the majority doesn't care about their merit (at least those, who already achieved a certain rank).

It might also discourage newbie users to continue posting, because they are the least probable to receive merit due to their lack of knowledge.

Better and stricter moderation (consequent banning of spammers) would be preferable, but may not be suitable given the dimension of the forum unfortunately...

Ja, ich weiß, ein eher ungewöhnliches Angebot für dieses Forum. Aber vielleicht könnt ihr ja mit den Sätteln jemand anderen glücklich machen...

Die Flut hat leider in letzter Zeit viele Idioten angespült, die nur schnell reich werden wollten und an Bitcoin selbst null Interesse hatten. Meine Hoffnung ist, dass sie mit der Ebbe wieder weit aufs Meer hinaus getragen werden...
