They mainly want to promote and teach about bitcoin they way they love... Doing comics!

Gavin Andresen to sign 5 copies of Bitcoin Comic in memory of Hal Finney for #HalFinney art contest

Bitcoin Foundation Chief Scientist Gavin Andresen will sign 5 copies of the upcoming Bitcoin Comic “The Hunt for Satoshi” in memory of Hal Finney who passed away recently of ALS.

Hal was a pioneer in Cryptography and wrote the original “Re-usable Proofs of Work” (RPOWs) on which Satoshi based his Bitcoin protocol.

The signed copies will be offered as prizes in an art competition to illustrate the first Bitcoin transaction between Satoshi and Hal which we’ll run in late November.

Sept 16, 2014 —

Gavin Andresen will sign five copies of “The Hunt for Satoshi” in dedication to the memory of Hal Finney, the cryptographer who was the first employee at PGP Corporation, who created the Re-Usable Proofs of Work scheme on which Bitcoin is based and who received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi himself.

“The Hunt for Satoshi” is an adventure graphic novel with the objective to educate in a fun way about Bitcoin and money to make it accessible to everyone. Right now running a fundraiser on the SWARM.co/comicoin platform to raise 42BTC in order to go to print in November 2014.

“The Hunt for Satoshi” is the first full length graphic novel that explains Bitcoin and Hal Finney is hidden in the book’s storyline in a decrypted message from the 90s. He also appears in the appendix together with other global Bitcoin personalities.

After Finney passed away the team decided to dedicate the Bitcoin graphic novel to his memory, and asked Gavin Andresen to sign five copies that will be given to the winner of a special Twitter art contest that depicts that first, historic transaction.

Andresen says of the idea: “I’m really excited by the first graphic novel to explain Bitcoin to a popular audience. It’s a great memorial to Hal Finney and the others who helped Bitcoin grow and spread. I can’t wait to get a copy!”

The #HalFinneyBitcoinComic Twitter contest

Twitter based art contest for anyone who creates any type of art, illustrations, photographs, graffiti pieces, videos, html5 animations etc. that convey the first Bitcoin transaction between Satoshi and Hal Finney and is shareable via Twitter.

The pieces of art that gain the most legitimate RTs will win the signed copies by Gavin, (though the judges decision will be final, and we reserve the right to disqualify cheaters!!!)

The artists must use this twitter format: #HalFinney #HuntForSatoshi @bitcoincomic @swarmcorp swarm.co/hal (Your message!)

Is there a digital version of the comic (.pdf) ?

Yes We will publish the English digital edition and hopefully the Spanish digital edition on Comixology.com, the largest online platform for Comics and graphic novels. The English edition has been approved already and we are waiting for the release together with the physical edition.

There are very few physical copies left in English (most of them are going to people that supported the crowd sale) and we printed 1500 in Spanish which will be distributed in book shops around Spain.

For buying "Bitcoin: The hunt for Satoshi Nakamoto" in English follow this link BitcoinComic.org and click on buy comic which will take you to the Spanish web shop of the publisher. The Spanish edition is available here: BitcoinComic.org/es/

Thanks, Alex

We will anounce next week that our publisher will be the first comic book publisher in the world (as far as we know) to accept bitcoins for the whole collection for the webshop, but Comixology.com has its own policy. It would be great to organize a campaign with them to motivate them to accept bitcoins, but I think they would need to get hundreds of twitter messages and emails to get interested.

Would be awesome if we can convince them to accept bitcoins

This is great I can get you into a comic book near me? Pm me
