Exhibit B:

"Unity"
Commissioned by and sold to: ukcrypto

...pix removed...

Material: Grade AAAA Purpleheart
Price: 2.5BTC
Commissioned By: ukcrypto
Coin: 2 of 10 to be made for the 2015 year

Inspired by Andreas Antonopoulos speech (and book ) about bitcoin and its relation to the leaf cutter ant.

I will let UKcrypto explain more on his vision for the coin which will explain more the inspiration behind the design i created.

This coin is not for sale, This thread is only to show that it was commissioned and purchased by UKcrypto and that he is the original owner.

The design he created was inspired by UKcrypto? UKcrypto + google?

EXHIBIT A:

10 coins of 2015?
Beautiful artwork, wish it was something I could afford. What denominations so far have been created and what denominations are you planning in full for the 10 coins of 2015?

So far there are 2 1BTC coins and 2 10BTC coins. Nothing is ever really planned, 2 of the 4 made so far were commissioned and two i made as the design just came to me. After a brief conversation i am sure that coin #5 is being commissioned tomorrow and it will have whatever denomination the client requests. At this rate all 10 will be sold before the end of January. Good news for me as i can spend more time working on other Bitcoin art, sad news for those who didnt buy one as they will have to wait until December 2015 to buy one of the 2016 coins.

I have a 1,000BTC fully funded coin for 2014 but it is mine and in my own personal collection and the only one i made for 2014, it has 24karat gold, .9999 fine silver, and multiple colored diamond inlays into Gabon Ebony Wood. It is not and probably will never be for sale as it would take at least $1,000,000 USD worth of Bitcoin minimum for me to ever let it go.

Original design just came to him? Or from google?

@smoothie - I hope you realize that I am not trying to defend him and am trying to avoid the "mob mentality" as much as possible.


I understand that don't worry.

I did notice that all of the quotes you mentioned all off the pieces except for number 9 which is what LazerViking purchased.

I am also somewhat confused by him claiming they were his original designs as his customers were giving him outlines as to what they wanted their pieces to look like

If you want to rely on google then rely on google, don't rely on some nameless random person that you would never in 100 years trust with your own money. I am not trying to say that anyone is right or wrong, but the evidence presented by paul should be 100% ignored. If you can do that and still come to the same conclusion then you are free to call him a scammer all you want.

As far as I am concerned, all the evidence has come from people that cannot be relied upon. All that I can say with certainty right now is that nubbins thinks that WC might be a fraud, blazedout419 is a happy customer and that OgNasty thinks that WC's art is "beautiful" other then that I can say nothing.

@LazerViking - I agree that may be your conclusion however I cannot say with certainty that is what he would do. If you do decide to move forward with the purchase I would highly recommend insisting on escrow with strict terms that would allow funds to be released to WC.

In a long post I made there were several places where WC made implications that he does original/custom work.

Which by his own admission by using vector images or stock photos he is a fraud.

Original work is like I already said...ORIGINAL...my coin designs (the background of my physical bitcoin designs) I proved yesterday that they were in fact original.

He never really addressed the fact that he assumed my work was a copy of other's works and when proven wrong decided to completely ignore that fact.

Very unprofessional given I approached him to get facts from him about his work before making a judgement and the fact that he expected nubbins to do the same thing I did, then he goes and throws me under the bus.

LazerViking deserves a refund in my view as the precedent that the work was custom/original was false as he misrepresented his work to be original/custom when they are obviously not.

But, I trust the expert testimony given by Searle421 and
Paul Revere...and I trust my own eyes, common sense and
brain.


How do you know they are experts? Serious question - you know them from Adam...

Also, the stolen vector images discovered by others...


What if he bought the licence to the vector images, does the licence not allow him to carve that image into wood? What about the vector that one client sent to him and asked he copy? That does not mean they are stolen.

I have no interest in further debate -- my opinion has been stated, and you are welcome to yours as well.

i guess a lot of posts were lost due to the forum disk failure.

Anyway, I'm sick of this thread...I'm gonna say my piece and
then this will be my last post in this thread (hopefully).

A lot of people were asking yesterday about how do I know
it was done by a laser.

The fact is, I don't know 100%.  Nothing in life is ever
100% certain.

But, I trust the expert testimony given by Searle421 and
Paul Revere...and I trust my own eyes, common sense and
brain.

This stuff is just too detailed and accurate to be
hand carved.  Even if possible, would take hundreds
or thousands of hours, which makes ZERO sense given
the fact that Woodcollector claimed to be doing this
in his spare time while running 3 businesses (yeah right).

Plus he kept changing his story.

First it was supposedly "hand carved", then was done
by "carbon paper", and then by "rotary tool".  

Do the research yourself -- google some images of
rotary tool carvings.  They are not at the same
level of detail.

Also, the stolen vector images discovered by others...

It all adds up to one thing.

Make your own judgement.

I feel bad for wood collector because he allowed
himself to dig a hole of dishonesty when he
could have simply admitted not ALL of it
was hand carved.  

I respect anyone who produces goods and
sells them in the market place, and WC
had nice stuff. But the denial, the
repeated lies, and the attacks on others who
would try to expose the truth were disgusting.

Finally, his reactions to the drama last night
did not have the ring of truth whatsoever. 
He was pissed off at the expose...
whereas I believe a true master
artisan would be flattered and laughing his
ass off in joy that people would be accusing
his hand carvings of being laser engraved.

At this point, what does Woodcollector have to lose by "coming clean"?
And what does he really have to gain by continuing the charade?

Feels like a case of the emperor wearing no clothes.

Cowards never come clean, they just slink away.

Nubbins delivers! I had never seen a t-shirt made before (except for those shitty iron-ons i did for this site in 2013), was very cool to see.

Also, I know blazedout from IRC pretty damn well. The guy has coins to spend because he has made some very smart business decisions along the way. You cannot fault a man for that, and anyone trying to rope him into this whole debacle is grasping at straws.

I can't fault him for it and I realize I was mistaken about his being escrow for WoodCollecter...



but I would sure love to tease him about that $14k paperweight!  Shocked

I especially like the part where one of his escrow holders just so happens to be the "client" that bought the 14k dollar piece!
i would seriously doubt that blazd is in any way involved in any malicious way. He is very active in physical coins and miners threads. It would be expected that he would be interested in Bitcoin related art.

LOL! I don't give a shit what you think.  You literally sell accounts as a business in your signature.  You help scammers for profit. GTFO.
you are an idiot.

If you think he is somehow involved then why don't you present actual evidence instead of blindly speculating?

No actually I didn't speculate.  You did that on your own in your head because it is fucking obvious.  Nice try though!
If it is so obvious then why don't you post the proof? It shouldn't be hard if you aren't shilling/trolling

No you dumbshit. All i did was point out that "one of his escrow holders just so happens to be the "client" that bought the 14k dollar piece!".  The obvious part was the assumption that lead you to make.
are you sure about that

Good luck continuing to sell those accounts you scamming shitbag  Grin
The topic of sale of accounts is not the topic of this thread so I am not sure why you are bringing it up. The sale of accounts is allowed per forum rules, if you have a problem with that I would suggest you open a thread in meta.

since I proved you wrong about blazed being escrow are you willing to retract your statement and admit to you being wrong?

Sure I have no problem admitting that.   

I only read the WoodCutter's post where he said that blazed was doing escrow for him so that is what I pointed out. 

It turns out that WoodCutter never asked blazed to be escrow for him so they are not connected in that way.

I guess blazed is just a dude with way too much money and a really shitty eye for art.  My bad.

why does blazedout have "silverwallets" as his website, but a bit-x signature campaign?

Because he co-owns Silver Wallets but chooses to advertise for bit-x.
