Today I proudly present a project I have been working on for several weeks now: The Great Bitcoin Hatching
The idea of a "creation of Bitcoin" artwork had been buzzing in my head for months when I finally came accross this wonderful eggy spot in a multi-dimensional fractal while trying some animations. After many dozens of hours of rendering, adjusting and postworking I finally completed this work. Here it is, showing Bitcoin hatching from its egg when Satoshi Nakamoto implemented the first version of Bitcoin in January of 2009.
Details on the printprint: 90 cm x 90 cm (35,4 inches x 35,4 inches), quadratic high resolution print
material: special sandwich panel using two aluminium plates (0.3 mm each) linked via polyethylene core (alu-dibond): very durable and visually outstanding
limited to: 16, all individually numbered in binary (see picture)
included extras: high quality wall mounting, hand signed and numbered certificate
Numbering on the artwork itself is in binary only. Certificate has the decimal numbering added in brackets.
Only 0/10 directly available purchase left!look out for auctions of this piece or shoot me a pm

*I haven't decided yet if I really need that special number to keep for myself or maybe just keep 0010 and put this one up for auction instead.**If you are interested in this number I can switch it with any other available number. Not sure how to handle this, but this one will be given to a gallery and not be sold for the next 10 years unless a *high price yet to be determined* is bidden, then I might sell it and give 100% to one or several charities. I will discuss details with my family and am open for suggestions.Additional info- The first print (0000) will arrive shortly at my home (I expect 11th of October next week). Photos will be posted here.- The numbering as well as my name (Kryptowerk) is integrated in the picture
- I guarantee that I will never print any more than the numbered 16 editions. Only exceptions are lower resolution prints (postcards size, definitly less than 30x30). Right now I am not planning on doing so at all. I will never release the original files to the public.
- I will probably include a guarantee card about the above terms in the final sale.
- All certificates are unique prints as they have the numbering embedded in the image.
- Auctions will probably start at 0.2 BTC maybe 0.15 and maybe 0.22 - haven't decided yet.
- Escrow accepted if buyer pays fee.
- I reserve all the rights to change any conditions until final deal is settled and payment was made. I doubt I'll do it, just trying to be on the save side here.
- I plan on releasing 0 - 3 crypto related artworks per year during the next years.
- shipping from Europe to anywhere possible- Ask me anything but please don't spam my thread with nonsense. Thank you.
Pricing-
0.22 0.205 0.175 BTC (reduced two times due to the rise in Bitcoin price) per artwork (if BTC suddenly jumps to $7k or dumps to $2k I might adjust prices - I probably won't do that unless totally neccessary) done, 2x-
I will pay shipping up to 25€/$30 40€ (~$48), if higher buyer pays the difference.
- #0000 can be directly purchased for
0.44 0.41 0.36 BTC and will then be unavailable for auction
Shipping costs including packaging
Germany: ~40 €, I'll pay 40€ -> +0.0000 BTC
Europe (EU)*: ~60 €, I'll pay 40€ -> +0.0030 BTC
USA: ~90 €, I'll pay 40€ -> +0.0075 BTC
Canada: ~90 €, I'll pay 40€ -> +0.0075 BTCNote: Due to the size and an error in my calculation I actually have to pay 34€ more than stated above. However I will of course not charge you any more than I originally stated.
Due to the extreme rise of the BTC price I decided to lower the costs for the artwork again. However to create a fair situation for the buyers before the Bitcoin-rise I decided to grant a 20 - 40% off for one piece of my new projects (
coming early/mid 2018).

A photo for reference of a poster I created a while ago (size 120 cm x 120 cm - it's
huge), printed by the same manufacturer - quality was pristine and I expect even better for the alu-dibond (it's 6x expensive after all).

Oh and here is what the certificate will probably look like - I plan on adding a holographic self-made sticker, will see if that's possible next week:
