Really cool, sure. But I definitely won't be surprised if someone else sort of paints over the QRCode and changes it to another wallets QRCode instead.
Also, I couldn't scan the QRCode with my phone, unfortunately.

Lmfao I wouldn't have thought of that if you didn't bring it up. To be fair though, it's probably the most convenient way to receive tips. It's much better than displaying your bank account number, or setting up a tip jar of sorts, at least. This actually looks like a legitimate use-case lol.

But if someone does paint over it with theirs those funds will be traced and reported to the authorities.
We all know bitcoin transactions can be traced.

Sure, transactions could be traced. So for instance, they traced the bitcoin and the bitcoins ended up on the wallet address 3Justanexamplelolhahahahahahahaxd. What do they do now? They can't sort of contact like the "bitcoin customer service" or something. The person could easily get away if he/she doesn't use centralized wallets like Coinbase.

Goes to show you artists would like to start getting paid in bitcoin for their artistic attributes.

Atleast I thought it was pretty cool! Grin

donations for their artistic attributes are in transparent way is the idea of something else. this is a kind of promoting trust for crypto-currencies. bitcoin now has become more famous.

Freaking awesome this picture is! I was gonna send the artist $5 myself but not having the address makes it impossible for me at the moment. Gonna be cool to see more stories like this in the future, especially considering some of these arts may gather a lot of money.

It is the start of a new trend, in future people will not carry too much change around so they will use a QR code and donate in bitcoin instead. Sales for street items can also be bought in bitcoin, but it requires standing around while waiting for the confirmations

I thoroughly enjoy this. First off, the piece of art is amazing by both execution and technical standpoints. Being able to accept tips without standing in front of your work is extremely handy. However my main concern is simply being able to add your own QR code to the piece. Graffiti artists are notorious for going over each other's work (like when Banksy hit New York his work was vandalized within days). Brilliantly executed, but would require installing a piece of plexiglass over the QR code to keep it legit.

Could be but it might of been put there by the artist but it does not scan because of the wall not being completely flat. Who knows.

In a vain of life imitating art in a sign to the times.
The qr code can be seen on the artists website: https://www.pboy-art.com/biographie

I didn't get it from that reddit post but saw it on twitter and thought it was cool.

It definitely is cool. People are realizing the potential of bitcoin. And seeing an artist accepting payment in BTC makes me very happy. Soon, there will be days where everyone would start accepting bitcoin.
