Bitcoin puzzle gift

[Sethrey]

Yesterday a French artist Pascal Boyard made an interesting announcement in his Twitter - https://twitter.com/pascalboyart/status/1082082762180513793
He painted a frescoe in Paris with a 0,26btc ($1000) puzzle in it. He will send these money to the first person who will pass the quest and find the code.
He also says that it's possible to do only standing in front of the drawing, but he added an HD picture to his tweet as he doesn't tell where to find it exactly.
Is it another reason to visit a Paris? And I'm really interested how does the code looks like.

I read it on news.bitcoin.com and I am very interested to know who wins.

If you have the time, and if you could afford it, then why not? I personally would definitely go if only I could afford it, just to admire his art. Pascal Boyart has been creating some fine art for some time already I think, and what's better is, some are bitcoin related! Just so if you don't know, he's also the one who made the portraits made of dollar bills(Szabo, Dorian, Finney):

he has good drawings, but imagine someone like me traveling to Paris:

I would have to pay  $400 ( ticket price to travel ) + Hotel cost + $400 ( return ticket price)

that would be very expensive.

Well that's great to have someone using his art to offer a bounty and also to introduce Bitcoin to public also the art is not just an puzzle but also a piece of art with a deeper meaning in it. However it's a little bit sad that in order to find the hidden clue we need to go to paris.

My concerns:
1. What if someone already found the clue and withdraw the coins before i get there
2. I will need to spend a big amount of money to go to paris and what if i don't find the clue

Well it's also a risk for participants who wants to participate and travel thru paris but he didn't also force us to participate lol Good luck to participants

You don't need to be there physically to solve the clues. You only need a picture of the art itself. This is not the first time that this type of puzzle was released in the internet with bitcoin as the reward. Fortunately, Pascal provided a high res link in the tweet: https://i.imgur.com/BOiXPzl.jpg

I don't think so..

Some twitter dude : "Peut-on trouver la réponse via le visuel HD ou on est obligé d'être sur place pour trouver le solution ? Super le concept en tout cas !"
The artist : "Sur place !"

I don't think the artist would have any reason to lie, he's giving away money and at the same time promoting his artistic work.

I quite liked his artwork. The idea of the puzzle is also very interesting.
I would love to go there to try to find the solution!

[BorutosDad]

Wow, good live quests have come in real life! I hope no one will arrange a fight near this graffiti

[blockman]

I've seen his paintings and murals before but I can't remember his name so its boy-art (boyart). With this finding, I think it will really be a very small detail but keen on observation that can get that code.
I wish I was near there so I can try out my observing skills if I'm still quite good enough with it. I'll just watch out on who will be the winner on this quest, keep us updated on who will complete the quest.

I like the idea that u acyually need to stay in front of this wall. This way you ,may feel the spirit of this art.

I've read the thread and he mentioned that you have to see the art with your own eyes in order to find the code.
He meant that it's impossible to do that with picture even of a high resolution.
Who knows.. We can try at least

I think this is old news, I heard this news a few months ago. and until today, there is no people can solve that puzzle. And I think this will be difficult. and a giftof 0.2 BTC is not enough for payment.

[VK.point]

Maybe it's one way to attract the attention of users, with bitcoin as a gift. I think this kind of thing will happen in various other countries. If in Paris an artist with paintings, it is not impossible if in other cities will make something that can attract the attention of bitcoin fans, it makes sense right? Thank you for the news.

I think people who solve puzzles must be very great people. If you know, where did you get the news about the success of someone who completed the quiz? And how was the process. Thank you.

[nakisama]

artist just posted that info on his twitter account

Wow.. Too fast, I think and really interesting.
Wanna see the proofs, maybe a person also told what the puzzle was and showed at least some parts of it.
Maybe there will be more things like that.

Very exciting activity. Aside from making money, it would be incredible to visit a city like Paris.

However, I couldn't quite understand the event that needs to be solved ...

Do we need to access private key via this image?

Edit: Someone has just solved...
