Excellent job you are doing, congratulations.
Answering your question, it is already difficult to answer +10 years later. But, I have the idea of having read some news or article about the creation of bitcoin. That was in 2011, but although I found the idea interesting, I didn't get involved.
Later, about 2 years later, I read an article about Bitcoin again, but this time I decided to explore the topic more, and of course reliable information was only here on the forum.
Thanks!
Was is a online or off-line article?
Nice work so far though I'm considering how the size of the material you're drawing the art on will affect certain details of the work. Everything that's on the conceptualization art is important and needs be represented visibly in the final painting. I just hope the size you're working on will will give allowance for all the details.
Good question.
I also asked myself that same question before I selected this size just to be sure.
I believe the texture and size are both perfect for the job and all detail will come through just as I expect it to.
There is one thing though - I love the feel of real materials and texture.
Especially in the era when AI is threatening to do all the visualization I want to stand my haptic artistic ground and let my process show its marks.
This is why while everything discussed will be rendered on the canvas, it will be obvious it's a classic painting with texture showing.
....What path (news, X, Reddit, friend, family...) led you to discover The Bitcoin Forum?
for mine, it's through a friend who is a course mate in school and was already into crypto and had joined the forum at the time. I got to learn some basic things about crypto from him and he recommended I joined the forum and read some threads and also ask questions in areas I might have experienced some deficulty in. It was an unplanned journey that has yielded a lot of exposure in this digital space.
This kind of survey will be best achieved through a general news broadcast that will take all users to a thread where they just have to tick an already created pool containing these options (i.e x, Reddit, friends, family etc.)
I also had a similar into to Bitcoin - via two different persons.
I wish we could do the News thing, but I really rather wouldn't bother Theymos with this as I'll ask him to put this project on the News when it finishes anyway.
Besides the info we'll harvest here there's probably already threads about this I can check.
I keep updating the painting in the Portuguese language tab and it really is incredible to see all the details of the image being placed on the screen!
About the question, around 2015~2016 I learned about Bitcoin but it was only in 2017 that I delved deeper into the subject and I wanted to find more information and I ended up here. Since then I created my account and I'm here, although I came back after a long time I'm still going strong now!
Good job on the updates, I just saw it today - Thank you very much!
By "delved deeper" you mean Googled Bitcoin and it got you here pretty fast?
