Holy fuck. I sent a merit, and I had not even realized how fake that image is. In these cases, I wished I could take it back or that the member would be banned from the forum or at least some other punishment, like suspension in order to pay for such deception.
@shahzadafzal on previous thread wrote that my bitcoin mining pizza was AI generated picture or heavily manipulated digitally.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5583351.msg66819775#msg66819775 Since entry thread already closed, I would like to clarify few thing.
This bitcoin mining pizza was 100% handmade by me with my family without any AI image generation, without any photo editing except resize before upload, without digital compositing and no digital photobashing.
To be honest i am especially my kids really sad, remembering hours of our work dismissed as AI based on conjecture. On the other hand, I was also surprised that the AI rated my pizza as unnaturally precise, even though the results were far from our expectations. When we decided to end the process (almost midnight), we all remarked that if we had given it more time, the results would have been even better.
Through this article I declare that this pizza is made from scratch, baked, topped and photographed by myself with the help of my children and wife. We didn't make a video of the making but we took some photos as attached.
We start making this pizza early morning and took the picture of ingredient first. We forget take picture of black olive and frozened pesto sauce. With 560gr flour, we make the pizza dough using stand mixer and attached picture are image of dough that has been kneaded and left to rest for 1 hour before being rolled out.
The next photo is the dough with pesto sauce after being pricked with a fork, my kids very happy stab pizza dough with a fork.
Then we put it in the oven and bake it at 250 degrees top and bottom heat for about 10 minutes (I've used this oven to make pizza in
2025)
We still had time to take photos after the pizza was finished baking before we put the toppings on, my daughter take front view and top view.
Before adding the toppings, we placed the pizza on non-stick baking paper to make it easier to remove from the pan after baking. Previously, we made bitcoin coins from grated mozzarella cheese, but we didn't have time to paint them, but we placed them on top of the mozzarella circle. For the ingredients and details on how to make each part, see the next photo.

Matter of fact :
All circuit paths were created manually using cream cheese.
All toppings were cut and placed individually by hand.
The pizza was baked, assembled, and photographed in my house without the aid of AI or digital editing and these are the tools
To make precise shapes I rely on a vegetable cutter. For the writing NGU, SHA-256, 10,000 BTC & 21 M I used a purple vegetable cutter (actually originally I was going to use writing from melted mozzarella but unfortunately the silicone alphabet mold I had was too small) I have used this vegetable cutter in the 2025 pizza contest. The black round board that I used as a photo base I also used in the 2025 pizza contest, only I painted the other side black. I also make circuit path on those board. Gold lustre dust dan lustre dust solvent liquid for coloring bitcoin coins from mozareela, biggest stainless still ring / circle mold, i use it when bake the pizza with topping, to keep the mozzarella cheese surrounded by black olives so that it stays still and doesn't melted anywhere.
Some of the remaining ingredients that I still have
This black (sarong) cloth is usually worn by my son for prayer but I cut it to use as a photo background
Cream cheese to make circuit path, just put it in a piping bag and cut the tip to the size I want
The silicon mold and equipment used to make gold Bitcoin coins made from mozzarella cheese. Interestingly, I'd never applied edible luster dust to food before, so I only painted the coins after the pizza and toppings were baked and photographed, even though I should have waited a while for them to dry so the shining gold would be clearly visible.
Next is the tool I used to write my ID: bitcointalk.org, then b1exch.to, and the Bitcoin logo. Zooming out clearly shows that this was made by a fifth-grade student. My son made it from simple tools and colored it by hand. LOL
One of the screenshots I took from my gadget about detail of photos (time, date, etc)
Nevertheless, hopefully my handmade work can still be appreciated for the its effort to finish it and creativity behind it.
Thank you to everyone who has provide support, feedback and appreciation on my work.
