Damn - that's awesome!

Consider moving the portrait off-center (so a fold won't destroy it)

Would you make available the building blocks to that note?

am i too late to the party?:

I think you right about the coin limit on the top right, a little more thought could have been applied there.

Nice job on the Liteaddress note (not that I'm much of an alt coin guy)... somehow I think there's a better message that could go in the corner rather than the number of coin limit.  Rather, something that differentiates it from Bitcoin (but perhaps without referring to Bitcoin) seems more fitting.

Hi, good to see that someone is still working on bitcoin paper notes / bonds / whatever you want to call them.

Let me use this opportunity to advertize my design contest: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-contest-design-a-bitcoin-based-bank-note-bitaurum-bit-note-147450

My comment might have been a little harsh, since I saw it as defeatism. Perhaps I forgot to take into account that we don't have the power to change people's perception in the first place.

[...]

ok. no, I actually think it is very well done. But it will be perceived in the opposite way it was intended by a lot of people I am 100% sure. It's sad but that's how the internet currently works.

did you ever take a look at what is happening with Bitcoin in the tor darknet?

a little girl is really NOT what we want on a Bitcoin banknote.

This.  Can a mod rip this image down before one of the comedy forums gets a hold of it?  This looks creepy IN context, and absolutely horrible out of context.

Guys, I said in my first post that I replaced the image of my niece with a stock photo of a little girl that was the first hit on google images for "girl photo". There is no sensitive information in that picture.

It sounds like you might not understand why the image could be a problem regardless of who the person is (it has nothing to do with sensitive information).

If this was a childhood picture of Marie Curie or somebody famous, it would be a different story.  And I suppose it would make sense if it's a single instance printed with a picture of the recipient, rather than published to the internet at large.

What does a school-age girl have to do with money known for excellent privacy and anonymity?  Oh yeah, that's right, it's the perfect kind of money to be used to exploit young girls.  It has little to do with speaking English, and there's not much else to connect on.  I don't need to be a pedophile, nor think of any sort of child abuse, to imagine how this could be taken or spun the wrong way... any more than I need to be Muslim to understand how putting a picture of Muhammad on a bitcoin banknote would also be a bad idea.

Yeah, thanks, I now get that it makes sense politically. Still, that kind of perception is specific to a certain culture, just like the Mohammed example.

You can put a picture of whoever you want in the image yourself

Good idea. Wink

I am not a native English speaker, I am from Europe/Germany.

Have you been to the darknet lately? At least at the one index page I was the words that came up most were: drugs, bitcoin, weapons, pedo

I kinda guessed you weren't a native English speaker, but I presume we're already infected by that culture. My comment might have been a little harsh, since I saw it as defeatism. Perhaps I forgot to take into account that we don't have the power to change people's perception in the first place.

Sorry about the off-topic rant.

maybe I mixed things up a little. a week ago or so I gave Tor a try. I looked at some directory and next to drugs there was also lots of pedophile entries. We do not want Bitcoin to go into that direction. The banknote up there gives me the creeps. The alpaca is 1000x better.

What you say makes no sense to me.

ETA: AFAICT, the pedophile scare is an anglophone-specific thing, and IMHO extremely weird. To me, refraining from putting an innocent girl's image on a piece of paper sounds like admitting that the child's image is arousing somehow. I get stomach cramps just trying to empathize with the perspective. Clash of civilizations I guess...

Jeez - Everybody calm down.

I don't think anyone is panicking, just nobody wants to see your image next to the first news article about how bitcoin can be used to get child porn, which I would have to imagine is an eventual certainty.  I would submit that you should consider making it unavailable from the forum.

and lolz for the pic

You can put a picture of whoever you want in the image yourself (with the source files). Since my niece is a little girl, I put a photo of a little girl Smiley
I would never put a picture of any of my family on the open internet. Have you ever heard of face recognition?
