AUCTION- NEW Artist !

[Mbitr]

Artwork for Auction

(For 2 good causes)

My daughter has always enjoyed art and during our latest lockdown has also decided to take an interest in bitcoin ( finally)  
So I suggested that she should combine the two. As a result she has produced 2 pieces of bitcoin related art!
I recently set her up with a wallet and suggested that she should try and sell these on the forum. If these pieces do sell she would like to give 50% of any sales to the Project Covid-19 charity for bitcointalk users. Please see this thread

1. BITCOIN TACO

2. MR. BTC

Both pieces are painted using Gouache paint and painted on 2.5mm paper board.
Both measure 29.5 cm x 21 cm

BITCOIN TACO @ .003 BTC

WOW - THANKYOU, if you could see her smile

You should post the BTC address where your daughter's half should be sent.

Yep, my fault - OP edited and address added . Thanks

Thank you!  Now, if you can just state it is your intention to have the bidder send half the bitcoin to your daughter and half the bitcoin to the Covid address, I will feel a lot better knowing both sides will get the most possible with fewer transaction fees.  Your quote below suggests you receive all the coin, and then prove you sent half on - which amounts to a collateral free loan, and increases transaction fees. 

I will reach out to the winner via pm with all relevant details and as I say all proceeds will be split 50/50 to my daughters wallet address and the Project COVID-19 addresss. Proof will be shown

I will let the buyer decide what they would like  The only reason I suggested the payment to one address is that it’s saves on fees ! The buyer is welcome to pay the amount either to the project covid 19 address and we can organise the rest sent to my daughters address or vice versa . I’m sure that will be fine with Royse777.

Thankyou for paying so much interest - we await your bid 

[Vod]

Only if you don't then send half the coins on.  If that the only reason you suggested it, did you intend to keep any coins raised for the needy?

I will let the buyer decide what they would like 

If the buyer sends half the coin to you, and half the coin to the covid19 address, each party will get the most out of the transaction.  Why are you keeping the possibility of scamming open?   Announce your intentions now so you can't later PM the buyer and make more misleading statements.

This will also look very poor on Royse777 if her initiative allows money to be wasted like this.

I have confirmed prevented this scam.

The bidder will send 1/2 the coin to the Cov-19 address, and send the other half to yogg.

The bidder should send 1/2 the coin to the Cov-19 address, and send the other half to the scammer only after you get your worthless drawings.  Let this guy teach his daughter how to steal elsewhere. 

Could you explain how you’ve confirmed this is a scam please?
And yes the bidder can send half the coin to the covid -19 address and once the artwork is received the rest can be sent - no problem at all .
Please don’t call me a scammer and what you believe to be worthless is certainly your choice. I would have loved to show my daughter this thread , but some people feel the need to spoil things for others ! Shame .
Anyway no more posts from me in regards to your posts . Anyone who deals with me on this forum and off knows my integrity !
Thankyou

I have confirmed this is a scam.

Unlikely. And these are strong accusations without any proof.

I highly recommend you remove negative trust ratings or show proof.

[Kialara]

@Vod, I may be out of the loop here, but prior to my bid I checked out Mbitr's trust and didn't see any past issues. And I noticed merit and/or trust left by well-known members here. Is the suggestion that Mbitr's daughter did not paint these, or that Mbitr had planned on not donating half? Can you share how you confirmed this as a scam, or why you involved yourself here - I'm genuinely interested in hearing you out. Thank you.

I was lucky to meet Mbitr at Coinfest UK 2019, we spent great moments together.
A few more dealings over time show to me that this user is as genuine as it gets.

I don't think a scammer would host a free raffle to win a loaded physical coin.
Maybe the initial post, lacking the payment addresses, was a bit unpolished; this was addressed by Mbitr very promptly after Vod noticed it.

My opinion is that this negative trust feedback is a bit excessive in this situation.

If needed, I will happily escrow this transaction for free.
(minus the transaction fee that will be retained from the forwarded amount, but I set it manually to be low and still included shortly after the tx broadcast)

Wind ya neck in. Now.
I know Mbitr personally and will vouch for him any day of a calendar year.
You are clearly looking for a drama where there need be none.


Moving swiftly on ...

Hey, if the OP is OK with this, I am too.  

He claimed he wanted all the coins sent to him only to save transaction fees, which doesn't make sense if he planned to forward the coins on.

oh the irony!  lol...  no drama - just pointing out signs of a scammer.

I am always happy to help.

I believe OP implied this would save some bits to the buyer as the transaction would have ended up being bigger in size.
(even two transactions if the buyer isn't very bitcoin-techy-savvy and this is not uncommon...)

You came in strong where ya could've just started with .... ." I think it would be more efficient if..."

I don't think I did.  I chatted with him in two threads. 

I know we have to be diligent and the "elders" have to have a sharp eye out an all, but try coming in less brutal first.
It tends to lead to less internet use by all

Viz

Understood.  OP is now posting in the other thread, and all we need here is a statement he will agree 1/2 the coins be sent to yogg, and half to the cov-19 address.
