Re: 10th anniversary art contest

Did anybody face any problem with merit that send by theymos for the 10th-anniversary contest? I have faced some problem when theymos sent me merits for second time that, I see, I received some merits in my merit history but when I click on the link of which post merited, But I can not find any merit on the post that send by theymos. I have also checked others' profiles for making me sure. But I also faced the same problem/error on others' profiles too.

It looks like theymos' "emergency update" broke things, I made a post about it in Merit spree is underway.

When I was facing that problem then I checked others too. One of them is Kalemder Merit history.

1. Merit history is showing 5 merits but Post doesn't  show the merit
2. Merit history is showing 15 merits but Post doesn't show
3. Merit history showing 35 merits Instead of 50 merits

Of course I will. I already added it!   My children were sick. I am sorry for my late answer.
When the winners are identified, I will build a special wall for the winners.

No worries, kids should always have priority. And thank you for including my work in your anniversary gallery

Seems like this issue has been sorted now, merit can be seen on the awarded posts.

Bitcointalk 10th Anniversary Gallery
3D - Virtual Tour
Click on computer

Adding: List of artworks added to the gallery. And very valuable artist names. I'll add more soon.
I can evaluate if you have suggestions. If there's a section you want me to fix, I can fix it.

@Oasisman https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52806862#msg52806862

Thank you for including my artwork on your list @Kalemder. I just took a visit on your 3D artwork gallery, and I really enjoyed scanning the whole place. I had a convenient way of viewing all the good entries on the artwork contest.

By the way I had a 2nd entry and I think this is much better than my first entry.

You're welcome @Oasisman. Your art is great. Congratulations.

* 1753 nickname and 1435 user avatar was used in this study.

I think it's not bad in this study.  : )
1435 user avatar was not easy to use in video.
It can be used as social media or TV advertisement, maybe.

I guess, tomorrow is the last day of the contest.
Great art works continue to be done. It was an exciting process.
Thank you @Theymos.

@Kalemder thank you for adding my artwork in the virtual gallery

the feels inside the gallery is very amazing goosebumps seeing great artworks by other members BTC

Suspected plagiarised entry:

Could someone with more free time than me check where this entry was plagiarised from? It seems safe to assume it's plagiarised since this user seems incapable of producing any kind of original content.

3 merits to the first person to locate the original.

Did a quick reverse image search but no results. Will try a more thorough search when I'm behind a pc.

That would be this one here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52815153#msg52815153

It shouldn't really surprise me that people are so desperate for a few possible merits/BTC that they'll try and rip off stuff like this... in the same super popular (and watched by admins/mods) thread

In my opinion, users should warn from the very beginning when they publishing their old paintings, that have been done before the contest, because it certainly places other participants in unequal positions.

Otherwise some talented cryptocurrency artist may show old works and win without making any effort during the current competition.

For example, one member received 165 merit at this moment for the picture which has been painted and sold in 2018.

Thank you for your opinion sir, I posted it because there are no specific rules for posting an old artwork. What we cannot do is steal other's artwork and posted it to the contest. I understand what your point is, but just like what Theymos said:

No, it's just for fun, not for any particular purpose, so there's no strict criteria.

Thus this mean you can plagiarized? I don’t know if this is right but anyone can you verify this picture from the entry above?

That's not plagiarism since he's the artist.  He sold the physical piece of art, but he still owns the rights to use the image.  If he wants to make prints and sell those he'd be well within his rights.

BTW @Yatsan, the girl with the bitcoin earring is a beautiful piece of art.  TecShare is a lucky man to have it hanging on his wall.

What about the girl with bitcoin earing and this one (link) - https://www.britannica.com/topic/Girl-with-a-Pearl-Earring-by-Vermeer

Does he also have the same right to use the main picture itself?

I see, I was not aware that the image was copied from another piece of art.  That does seem to be plagiarized, but I'm not sure if copyright laws allow a copy someone else's art with minor changes.  I was under the impression it was an original piece.

One member, which received more than 100 merit in the art contest topic, wrote that he took the "base image" from another website, but at the same time his nickname is specified on the picture.
I suppose, this can make a confusion that this user painted most of the image.

Put an effort on making a new art, but its not fair to use almost the same image with a different EARING! This is still a form of plagiarism for me.

HAHAHA, That is contemporary art sir, making a copy of original painting with different interpretation. 🙂 same with starry night of van gogh a lot of different version from other artist. It's started from scratch and painted from nothing. That's not plagiarism, if for you that is plagiarism okay, but with regards to the rule of art it is not. Thankyou again. And please study art first before accusing someone like that. Thankyou.

The guy above use the image with different interpretation, yet received a negative trut simply because its plagiarism same as you did, now tell me the difference?
You didn’t even acknowledge the original art. Well, its all up to them whether to accept this art or not.

Its jus edited man, not manually draw! art plagiarism is when you trace or just edited the art or just steal it like that.

Girl with a pearl earring is a famous painting and many are making a piece of contemporary art from it. I am educating you about art plagiarism and you are not listening, that's your problem.

Alright, lets see what others think about your art.
Its pretty good honestly, just want to be fair with the others who are being tagged for collecting different photos and use it in one art, same as you did. Fair judgement should be serve.
