Have you guys checked out the designs that the Bitcointalk members created for the
Sinbad avatar campaign that was brought to an end 2 days ago? There are many really good looking creations there, and picking a winner won't be easy.
Among the designs, I particularly liked bitmover's avatars. I also have my eyes on SamReomo's red-hat-wearing pirate from his second entry. cafter's third design from the third entry looks nice.
Who do you think will win?
I always like avatars without a background, i.e. avatars that are not square. That's why my choice would be PX-Z or icalical pirate flag, or even cafter pirate hat.
However, if it is not insisted that the avatar is in accordance with the new website design, Woodie and bitmover entries look great and can certainly be a good choice.
Not sure about the implications behind this, though. Wouldn't it mean sinbad has to keep a log [albeit selectively] to cater this idea? I can imagine some people will not welcome this idea.
Again, leaving a log with any data is in complete contradiction to what the mixer offers and what is the basic purpose of such a service. It is certain that many would not be happy with such an idea. The good functionality of a service is reflected in its simplicity and the fact that the end user cannot make a mistake or overlook something. By introducing an additional action such as manually deleting the log, the matter is unnecessarily complicated. Plus, I believe that most users would not return to delete the log after the transaction is complete.
