And also Gab, that didn't really do anything
I have sent a tweet about it, it got a few likes and retweets. I put an article about it on Yalls and have just posted an article on Reddit.
I didn't want to spam people with it.
If you think it is okay to put multiple posts on here then I definitely will.

Ok thanks for the info.
Just noticing that there are 21 days left to go and you have
only 3% of your goal achieved, are you actively marketing
your venture?
I am just think it might be worth creating another post on
the "Collectables" section of the forum to potentially increase
interest > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0

Lightning Network payments are now working 
Hi aoluain,
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, it will contain historical facts and also fiction. When Satoshi gets introduced this will all be fiction, we can only imagine what he was doing in the early days.
I really want to add simple things in the comic like printing money and what that means. A friend of mine didn't know the amount of money in circulation is constantly increasing. This is not his fault, its the systems fault.
I haven't looked into printing too much. I will print on whatever peoples preference is.
Some topics that will be covered in the first issue:
CDO's
Subprime mortgage
Corrupt Rating Agencies
Bailouts
It will all be pretty basic. The idea is to give people the urge to find out more, that is what the QR codes will be for.
Hope this helps

I dont think there is any need to start a new thread.
I followed your link and I made a contribution, really like your
project, I hope you can follow through on 21 issues.
I also like your idea to place QR Codes within the publication,
good thinking.
The project is really a series of comics containing historical
facts in a visual presentation, am I right?
Will the printed issues be printed on newsprint/comic paper?
do you have any more details on the finished article?

I will also make the comic interactive placing QR codes in places where the audience may want to read more information about a certain topic.

Hello everyone,
I have been busy learning all about BTCPay Server and the crowdfunding app. I have managed to set one up for this project. I have cancelled it on Kickstarter.
I was unable to create Lightning Network payments, so only onchain donations can be made. I have changed the funding structure, you can check it out here:
https://btcpay256286.lndyn.com/apps/3zBJ4FGyRqotCFGw1ktwRJ9hj2Gv/crowdfund
Also have a cover page now.
If anyone finds any technical issues please let me know.
Also, should I start a new post?

I have been paying an illustrator to do the work. It would be great if I could draw, would be much easier bringing what is in my mind to life.
If there are any illustrators that would be keen to help out, DM me. I wouldn't really be able to offer much at the moment as far as payment goes, but you never know what might come of it.

Thanks eternalgloom for taking the time to look at my project.
I just did what you said and updated the main page, so now it has an image of the first comic page, I didn't even think about that.

Good that you did that, now people at least get a glimpse of the comic book and they will know that you've at least put some work into it.
I hope everything works out for you, might donate a couple of dollars myself.
Hey GlobalFuneralCare,
Thanks for looking at my project, very much appreciated.
It is all very much experimental. I have never done e-commerce, comics or any type of business before. It is all very new to me. The main reason for the $200 for a physical copy was to ensure it would cover the cost for printing, shipping, and any other unforeseen circumstances, I wouldn't want to be in the position unable to deliver. Also as I would only be printing 21 copies it could be considered a collectible.
The main reason to make it as a collectible is once again as an experiment. I want to try and attach the ownership of each copy to Bitcoins blockchain and see if it can work.

That is true, a collectable could make it worth the money. Are you going to hire a comic creator/illustrator? Or do you have a background in graphic design? Anyway, it is also a good idea to attach the blockchain to the idea of "a collectable".

First of all, what a great idea. I took a look at the project page, and I was wondering why would people pledge over $200 to receive a physical copy. On the other hand, $5 dollar for a digital copy seems very reasonable. Maybe you should focus on a broader and larger audience, to lower the costs. Your idea to cut out the middle man, could be a good strategy, because via other payments methodes, the audience (I guess mainly crypto enthusiast) can pay with their cryptos. In contrary, Kickstarter can help to increase the audience. Anyway, good luck with your project.
I would prefer a physical copy, because digital copies does not have the same feel, when you sit on the toilet, reading your favourite comic. 
You can buy one of the 21 copies created. I am feeling if this comics is good it might get some kind of collectible value in future due to limited copies.
digital copies will be more practical in a global distribution environment, but it will also be pirated like crazy. 
If it distributed globally as login id/password to a site, not be available to be as a direct pdf to be distributed freely.
I guess if price is also ok, than user will prefer to buy instead to take pirated copy.
Thanks eternalgloom for taking the time to look at my project.
I just did what you said and updated the main page, so now it has an image of the first comic page, I didn't even think about that.
Once the front cover is complete I will swap the Bitcoin symbol for the cover page.
I am currently looking at setting up a BTCPay server and launching a crowdfunding app on it. Will be so much better. No middleman, no signup and people can send Bitcoin directly. I think I might get a lot more support this way than with Kickstarter. What do you all think?

Is it possible to change the campaign information on your main Kickstarter campaign page?
If so, I would definitely add the first page of your cartoon there too.
Mentioning this because I think that people who first visit your Kickstarter campaign for the first time don't tend to look any further than the first page.
There are no graphical elements or examples of your comic there, so people don't really know what they're donating for.

Joking aside, I seriously think the physical copy is something that most of us treasured. Comic books also have a collection value, which digital copies do not have. Yes, digital copies will be more practical in a global distribution environment, but it will also be pirated like crazy.

I have updated Kickstarter with page 2, check it out, click on the link at the start of this post and then click on the updates tab. Let me know what everyone thinks. I am very open to change, whether it's the style of comic, font, pictures, speech bubble size, type of information, anything at all. I guess it may be hard to tell having only 2 pages to go off, just want to make sure I am heading in the right direction.
The next page introducers Satoshi.

I know I'm late to the discussion, but I think a physical comic book would be fantastic and would be extremely collectible--especially if there were only a small number of them printed.
People have shifted away from "floppies" as far as reading comics goes, but as far as I can see there's always going to be a market for them. With bitcoin still being just 10 years old, a physical comic book could be worth a lot down the road. Look at those bitcoin magazines that were published a few years ago. If I'm not mistaken, they're going for well over what they originally sold for and it's only been about 4-5 years since they came out.
Anyway, good luck with your project. It's always nice to see some passion combined with initiative and creativity within the bitcoin community. If I had any money to spare, I would help out--but as usual, I'm flat broke.

Ya, people still buy vinyl records of new music releases. The market for these types of physical collectibles is definitely out there still. I always prefer physical copies of books, movies, and music as well as digital copies. It is nice to have a physical thing you can actually hold and cherish more and it can make as a nice display.
Thanks Pharmacist, appreciate your input.
The plan is to only print 21 physical copies but still have digital copies available. Thought it would be cool to make it a collectable but also printing can get expensive and the cost to ship around the world could catch me out.
Anyway if I achieve my funding goal, I will send you a download link once the comic is complete. Thanks again
