Hi All,

I have had this idea from the very start of the Bitcoin Colouring Book project andI think and hope people find
it interesting and will participate ^{apologies for all the "ands"}

The idea is to have a group of people around the world colour part of 1 book, lets say #50
and then raffle it off for free!

The group of people would be chosen by raffle also.

I kick it off, colour 1 page and then post to the next person who in turn colours a page of
their liking and posts it on. Obviously you will incur a cost of having to post it to the next
in line.

The last and 12th person in the line holds the book until the raffle is complete and then
posts it to the winner.

Its supposed to be a fun project and another give back to the community and should also
gain added value from being created in part by the group ^{and potentially some legends of the Collectibles Board}

So post up what you think!

Hi All, Orders to date have been posted, I expect then all to be received towards the
end of next week ^{all going well}

#52 - aoluain

Krogothmanhattan maintains the good vibes - nice one.

I watched the match between Medvedev and Kyrgios, well the last 2 sets! I thought his
performance was brilliant and as one of the commentators said on his day he can beat
anyone. Some of the shots he made were astounding.

I also disagree that Medvedev is not #1 material, at the moment with all that is going on
the Russian players have a lot of distraction and broken schedules, these are not normal
times but he definitely has all the criteria to become #1 and retain that spot for some time.

I just checked in with ROLLBIT to see if they have listed the Outrights and they do
as follows for the winner:



For this weeks round I have only 3 wagers:

Panthers to beat Storm
Cowboys to beat the Roosters
Sharks to beat Wests Tigers

I got my copy a few weeks ago and have been meaning to snap a few photos to help out
with "exposing the product to the risk of sale"

This is a really different coin, different finish and different theme. The aged Copper finish
is in keeping with that steampunk theme.

Excellent, well done MrCryptHodl and Agrawas for the generosity and well done to
doblezero for hosting, definitely deserves some more Merit for the inexpensive
raffle to the community!

Yes some of the logo attempts look under developed to a point that it you didnt know the
artwork was Bitcoin themed you wouldnt get it.

Then in other cases the logo looks enough developed that it is identifiable but looks like
an "ancient" form of the logo and looks like it suits the mood of the "art".

If you compare the life of a person studying fine art who goes through the different media
like watercolour, oil, acrylic, pastels, graphite etc. and the various techniques and different
surfaces over a number of years and then specialises in a particular field honing their style
and individualism and compare that to a computer which can knock something like the above
out in a short space of time, there is definitely a value in one but what about the other?

Its actually jaw dropping the amount of art there is and the diversity of the themes. I kind of
fear for the future of true human created art after seeing these.

I can imagine how people would think its "kool" to upload a photo of yourself to get an AI
fantasy version back, but worrying too.

Nice one Trofo!

Yea I have Carreno Busta for today against Rune and also De Minaur to beat Dimitrov.

So Kyrgios got the job done yesterday against Baez and today faces #1 seed Medvedev.
Given Kyrgios' high performance ATM and Medvedev's lack of game time compared,
does anyone give Nick a chance? ROLLBIT are being cautious and only offering up to
+2.5 on Kyrgios.

Just watching Kyrgios against Baez ATM, if Kyrgios wins this he will face Medvedev
in the next round. Its the first set and Nick was 1-5 up and looked super focussed but
seems to be getting a bit negative now. Its now 4-5


Yea its time for her to retire, she is still super talented and that carries her so far but
there are plenty of players now who can easily beat her.

Who is checking to see what trades you make and if what you declare is correct?

Seems a bit strange that you can declare anything but then I imagine they then
go and check that you are making a proper declaration.

So for that reason I'm guessing over 60% have not paid taxes  (I know I havent paid
1 cent in all the years buying, trading and selling, but dont tell anyone ....)

Kyrgios and most of the players have moved on to the tournament in Montreal.
Nick plays Baez today, a match which he should win, hopefully he can carry his
performance forward from the Citi Open.

Also Murray has to tough match today against Fritz, Fritz has has a good year but
I see a chance of Murray winning this one.

Hi all, I went to the post office today with the first 4 orders but I had to take back ZipReg's
parcel to repack as it was over weight.

I hope to get this repacked ans sent tomorrow along with some more orders. All orders
to date will be posted by Wednesday.

Also I have updated the OP to include that all copies will be signed and dated.

Cheers, a.

Hmm, The Pumas still have a lot of work to do to be more competitive. They are playing in a
competition with 3 top teams.

Rugby League

From my bets at the weekend on the Telstra Premiership down under I am 4 from 4, its been
a long time since I had all winners.

Its really difficult to know! I would say his performance and appearance in the final
at Wimbledon gave him some extra belief that he can actually win a tournament.

I saw the match against Tiafoe and he did have a mini melt down when the umpire had
to call a halt in his service because one of the ball kids had returned to the wrong position.
Nick serves very quickly so he got really shouty about that. Otherwise he was focussed.

Well done to him, its been 3 years since his last title so there is still a lot to talk about, will
he continue his performance? given he doesnt play a full season, when is his next tournament
and will be be focussed enough then?

I see also that he won the doubles with Jack Sock too!

Thank you krogothmanhattan, I was super busy yesterday and wasnt able to keep an eye
on the auction but luckily I was able to get a "last minute" bid in and win, probably due to
the duel over the fantastic Lot1 prize. Well done to all the winners. I'm really happy to have
scored one of these beauties.

Ah I didnt realise this competition had started, I actually didnt hear anything about it at all.

So first game down and a fairly big score difference, Argentina 26 - 41 Australia. Reading
a report on PlanetRugby it sounds like the Referee had an infleuence on the outcome with his
poor performance, not sure if the Pumas would have beaten  the Wallabies anyway.

For people living in 1st world countries the shortage of food is only manifested in higher
prices because these countries are able to pay the higher prices for grains etc. which in turn
leaves a shortage for those who cannot pay the premium even if there is surplus left.


Correct, the problem is only going to get worse. This year we have seen crop failures in Italy
and Portugal fail due to the high temperatures and low water supply.
