Maybe its better to put the bitcoin address in the OP because there are donators that dont wanna speak and just send their contribution upfront so having the address can be an easy help,as i also seeing good outcome to this project and may consider to help in small little way i can
P.s continue this one GUYS for the sake of the whole crypt community
Topic: Bitcoin Comic - Feel free to help crowdfund it (Read 329 times)
Honestly the first few pages i have seen looks amazing.
I think the way to go with this is to put funds in escrow with a independent person and for that person to pay the illustrator for every page that was done. This way the escrow can make sure that the money is going towards a actual comic and not into some scammers pocket.
Once the comic is finished the balance can be paid to start with the printing process of the hard copies. The escrow will have a digital copy of the original comic and he/she can then give this back to the community for FREE if the hard copies are not provided within a predetermined time.

Good idea, planning on making it a series?
So far I have raised enough to pay for another 2 pages.
What are peples thoughts on using the money to produce another 2 pages?

Yes, I think get the next 2 pages paid for and update the initial announcement. Provide proof of payment to illustrator and make people realize how legitimate you are
Who's with me?

Can anyone recommend a way to get more visibility to the Bitcoin comic? It's on Twitter and here. No luck with Reddit, probably because it's a crowdfund.
This is the raw script, it will be edited.
I don't have any more illustrations but here is a little teaser.
"Satoshi opens his laptop and stares at his email with a half-written sentence from weeks earlier."
"I’ve been working on a new…."
"Just as he is about to start typing."
"He is interrupted by the TV in the background."

Loving the feedback! This project has a lot of potential in my opinion. I personally believe bitcoin2theEnd has the motivation and intellect to get momentum moving and make something big of it. A Bitcoin Comic could definitely contribute to adoption - Knowing why Bitcoin exists, is a key reason why we HODL it.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
I know my writing skills aren't the best. I do have a family member lined up who is a really good story writer, she will be proofreading all my work. I guess I didn't do myself any favours not getting her to proofread the 2 pages I have released.
I like this idea and am very much open to partnering up with an illustrator in the Bitcoin space. I will post something in the services section. If anyone is interested or knows anyone who might be interested, let me know.

Wish you all the luck in creating the comics. I think you should put an ad for illustrator in "Services" section and try to find the like minded people. Instead of paying upfront you can come up with the %deal or partnership.

The idea behind the comic book is cool, and I could indeed be of interest to potential crypto users. An example that comes to my mind is the episode of The Big Bang Theory when we find out that out scientists and comic book fans were also mining Bitcoin once. What I am trying to say is that the target audience of crypto users and comic book readers might be roughly the same, so the getting these two things connected seems really perspective. However, it seems like the author's native language is not English, so there are some mistakes in the text, so I think you should have someone proofread the texts once you get enough funding.
Good luck!
Edit: Ooops, seems like you are a native speaker since you live in Australia. My bad, sorry. Perhaps the text is not that bad, but proofreading wouldn't hurt anyway.

from this comic, everyone can find out some risks when investing or putting your money in an investment place such as cryptocurrency or their bank is the same as having a game that will make the price easy to manipulate.
This is very a beautiful and creative work. It will be useful for explanation of cryptocurrency to both adult and children during seminar or meetup.
I paid about $150 for the cover page. Do you think that is a fair price or did I get ripped off?
I wouldn't say that you got ripped off. The artwork isn't bad, but it's not exactly my taste either.
Could you have found someone better and cheaper? Possibly, but I reckon it's somewhat difficult to find good artists that would work for less money.
Hi sunsilk,
Thanks for the support so far. Great to hear you will read the comics.
Also thanks for the advice about the original content owner, I will look into it.

I'll start to follow the episodes, I will be one of the people that will read your comics strip and I guess that's the only thing that I can help to you. When you have audience it will gain the attention of other readers which will help you to build up more of it.
I have paid an illustrator to complete the cover page and the first 2 pages, as you can see above. The funding is to cover the cost for the illustrator.
How much you are paying for the illustrator? see to it that you're the original content owner of this or else there will be some artist or people that are also interested of making this idea, wishing you all the best for this bitcoin comic project.

Hey CryptoBry,
Thanks for the feedback.
If I produce 21 hard copies, I have an idea of linking them to Bitcoins blockchain for proof of ownership. This is still very experimental, really the whole thing is. If the comic goes okay it does become self-sustaining each issue should get better. With feedback from the community, each issue will improve.
I would love for some people to look over my theory for proof of ownership. I might create a website, put the info on that and put the link here. It's still very confusing and not bulletproof.
As for the comic storyline. My plan for the first volume is to follow Bitcoin from the whitepaper to now. Covering all the major milestones. Then the next volumes will be more specific, something like maybe following Andreas Antonopolus's story or a volume completely revolving around the hard fork or Lightning Network.
If there is anything else you want to know, let me know.
Thanks
