THE LEAD-UP:Most of you know me from dealing with Casascius coins, but some of you may know that I also run a silkscreen printing business. I've recently been commissioned by a client to design and print a "What is Bitcoin?" poster, and we've decided to produce some extra copies for sale to the general public.
THE POSTER:5-color silkscreen print on 18x24" white Cougar acid-free art paper.
Limited edition of 100, with 50 being reserved for the original client's use. The remaining 50 are for sale to the general public.
THE TIMELINE:Posters are being silkscreened this week, with the preparatory work already started. It's estimated that the print run will be complete by Friday, August 29.
THE PRICE:Pre-order pricing is over! The price for this poster is $45, plus shipping to your part of the world. Shipping is estimated at around $20 for North America and western Europe.
The only payment address is 1CiVT9uRrfdqupH1exx5jtPAS9NHPATLqi. If someone tells you to send to another address, it is a scam.THE CATCH:I've produced digitally-printed proofs of the poster design, but I'm not sharing photographs until the actual print run is completed, because a digital proof and a real silkscreen print are so very different that one would not serve as a fair substitute for the other. I'll reveal detailed photographs of the actual silkscreened posters once the print run is complete, but PRE-ORDERS WILL BE PURCHASING THIS POSTER BLIND.Pictures here:

HOW DO WE KNOW THE POSTER ISN'T GOING TO SUCK?It's the best Bitcoin poster. You're going to love it. Not sure? Just wait for the pictures! The discounted early-bird price is a thanks for going out on a limb, but any remaining posters that haven't been claimed by Friday at noon will be available for sale, with lots of pretty pictures so you know exactly what you're going to get.By checking out pictures here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.40WHERE DO THE PROFITS GO?The lion's share of the profits will go towards an international postering campaign, where we pay a network of postering crews to produce digital prints of the design and post them in cities all over the world as a public service to the Bitcoin community.
THE COUNT:As of right now, ALL 50 posters have been sold, 0 remain. THANKS, EVERYONE!
