[NeuroticFish]

From what I see you've sold until now 1761 tokens.
This means that the SCARAB wallet should contain 10.566BTC
The wallet contains, from what I see, 8.00009386BTC
Where is the difference coming from, did I miss something?

No, you're correct. Some funds were used for advertising on Coinmarketcap.com and for a new website/logo redesign which is in progress now. The remaining were turned into ETH to diversify Scarab's holdings. All addresses with this information will be publicly available and accessible through the new website.

The Scarab Experiment Launches Successfully: Artists Wanted

The Scarab Experiment has successfully launched and the system is now up and running. The first valid submissions are being processed on a continual basis and queued for community voting. 

All artists that work in ANY medium are welcome to submit their work for inclusion in the project. The reward for each artist’ work that’s selected is 1,000 SCARAB tokens which as of this writing (According to XChain at https://xchain.io/asset/SCARAB) have a value of $36.03 each on the DEX Counterparty exchange. To submit artwork the artist must have an account with http://counterwallet.io that holds at least one SCARAB token. 

Our token crowdsale has officially ended but you can still get SCARAB tokens by purchasing them through the DEX Counterparty exchange which is accessible through your counterwallet account.

We’d also like to make an announcement that Scarab now has a new logo which is the image above. This logo is the start of a website redesign that’s currently underway and will be unveiled within a few weeks time.
Remember in order to successfully vote you must link your account with your email address by filling out the link account for voting form located here: http://www.thescarabexperiment.org/scarab-tokens.html

We would once again like to thank the community for the continual support and as to assure you that we’re working hard to promote our Scarab identity within the art world. As proof of this, we’d like to let our artists know that as part of the benefit for participation with our experiment, Scarab will soon be advertised in a very exciting Contemporary Art Magazine, more on this to come soon, stay tuned!

Very awesome stuff. I got a few of my friends involved as well. Very cool project, great launch, email system worked perfect. I'm excited to start seeing the art getting populated.

Congrats.

While The Scarab Experiment is still accepting artwork for voting and inclusion as official works, there has been a slight change to the process. In order to ensure that each of SCARAB’s artwork fits within a style, fitting of the project, there will be a step using a new imaging method technology.

This process will take each winning artwork and process it with SCARAB’s logo using a variable algorithm in order to create a wholly new image. That image will then be painted with oil on canvas and therefore produce a wholly new work of art. Not only will this keep SCARAB’s art completely original and unique but it will also alleviate any storage issues we had before. Earlier artwork that was accepted was to be held by the artist themselves as they acted as custodian for it, now there’s no need to require the artists to be held liable for the art. This should be a welcomed development that benefits all of our members in the community. This will not effect the rewards given to the artists, who still will receive a generous 1,000 Scarab Tokens for each artwork accepted as well as a 10% for the sale of the art and 5% for the sale of editions/prints.

By using this process each SCARAB artwork will be the product of many of The Scarab Experiment participants instead of just a single artist. This aligns itself with the vision of SCARAB as a new kind of artist that we’re all creating. Not only do we have a new kind of artist but now we also have a complimentary and new kind of artwork.

Below is an infographic that explains simply how the process for SCARAB has evolved:
