Hi,

I have just setup a pay for a tweet, pay 1000 sats and you can send out a tweet from an open account. I have used paywall.link and zapier. Go to www.21mbitcoin and then click experiment lab.

I am still playing around with it. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

So far I have raised enough to pay for another 2 pages.

What are peples thoughts on using the money to produce another 2 pages?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a comic illustrator. I have a crowdfunding app running on BTCPay Server.

The current illustrator I am using does not have any knowledge of Bitcoin, this has made it difficult explaining my vision of the drawing.

I would also like to improve on the current drawings. If you think you can do better than the drawings I have so far please message me. We can negotiate payment/partnership.

Thanks

This is the raw script, it will be edited.

I don't have any more illustrations but here is a little teaser.

"Satoshi opens his laptop and stares at his email with a half-written sentence from weeks earlier."


"I’ve been working on a new…."
 

"Just as he is about to start typing."



"He is interrupted by the TV in the background."

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

I know my writing skills aren't the best. I do have a family member lined up who is a really good story writer, she will be proofreading all my work. I guess I didn't do myself any favours not getting her to proofread the 2 pages I have released.


I like this idea and am very much open to partnering up with an illustrator in the Bitcoin space. I will post something in the services section. If anyone is interested or knows anyone who might be interested, let me know.

Hi sunsilk,

Thanks for the support so far. Great to hear you will read the comics.

Also thanks for the advice about the original content owner, I will look into it.

I paid about $150 for the cover page. Do you think that is a fair price or did I get ripped off?

Hey CryptoBry,

Thanks for the feedback.

If I produce 21 hard copies, I have an idea of linking them to Bitcoins blockchain for proof of ownership. This is still very experimental, really the whole thing is. If the comic goes okay it does become self-sustaining each issue should get better. With feedback from the community, each issue will improve.

I would love for some people to look over my theory for proof of ownership. I might create a website, put the info on that and put the link here. It's still very confusing and not bulletproof.

As for the comic storyline. My plan for the first volume is to follow Bitcoin from the whitepaper to now. Covering all the major milestones. Then the next volumes will be more specific, something like maybe following Andreas Antonopolus's story or a volume completely revolving around the hard fork or Lightning Network.

If there is anything else you want to know, let me know.

Thanks

Hi kingpin,

Unfortunately I am a terrible at drawing. I have paid an illustrator to complete the cover page and the first 2 pages, as you can see above. The funding is to cover the cost for the illustrator.

I am glad you are suspicious, this is why I love the Bitcoin community, everyone holds everyone responsible. I am not too sure how else to prove this is a legitimate project.

And also Gab, that didn't really do anything

I have sent a tweet about it, it got a few likes and retweets. I put an article about it on Yalls and have just posted an article on Reddit.

I didn't want to spam people with it.

If you think it is okay to put multiple posts on here then I definitely will.

Lightning Network payments are now working 

Hi aoluain,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, it will contain historical facts and also fiction. When Satoshi gets introduced this will all be fiction, we can only imagine what he was doing in the early days.

I really want to add simple things in the comic like printing money and what that means. A friend of mine didn't know the amount of money in circulation is constantly increasing. This is not his fault, its the systems fault.

I haven't looked into printing too much. I will print on whatever peoples preference is.

Some topics that will be covered in the first issue:

CDO's
Subprime mortgage
Corrupt Rating Agencies
Bailouts

It will all be pretty basic. The idea is to give people the urge to find out more, that is what the QR codes will be for.

Hope this helps

Hello everyone,

I have been busy learning all about BTCPay Server and the crowdfunding app. I have managed to set one up for this project. I have cancelled it on Kickstarter.

I was unable to create Lightning Network payments, so only onchain donations can be made. I have changed the funding structure, you can check it out here:

https://btcpay256286.lndyn.com/apps/3zBJ4FGyRqotCFGw1ktwRJ9hj2Gv/crowdfund

Also have a cover page now.

If anyone finds any technical issues please let me know.

Also, should I start a new post?

I have been paying an illustrator to do the work. It would be great if I could draw, would be much easier bringing what is in my mind to life.

If there are any illustrators that would be keen to help out, DM me. I wouldn't really be able to offer much at the moment as far as payment goes, but you never know what might come of it.

Hey GlobalFuneralCare,

Thanks for looking at my project, very much appreciated.

It is all very much experimental. I have never done e-commerce, comics or any type of business before. It is all very new to me. The main reason for the $200 for a physical copy was to ensure it would cover the cost for printing, shipping, and any other unforeseen circumstances, I wouldn't want to be in the position unable to deliver. Also as I would only be printing 21 copies it could be considered a collectible.

The main reason to make it as a collectible is once again as an experiment. I want to try and attach the ownership of each copy to Bitcoins blockchain and see if it can work.

Thanks eternalgloom for taking the time to look at my project.

I just did what you said and updated the main page, so now it has an image of the first comic page, I didn't even think about that.

Once the front cover is complete I will swap the Bitcoin symbol for the cover page.

I am currently looking at setting up a BTCPay server and launching a crowdfunding app on it. Will be so much better. No middleman, no signup and people can send Bitcoin directly. I think I might get a lot more support this way than with Kickstarter. What do you all think?

Thanks for the feedback Indamuck.

I have updated Kickstarter with page 2, check it out, click on the link at the start of this post and then click on the updates tab. Let me know what everyone thinks. I am very open to change, whether it's the style of comic, font, pictures, speech bubble size, type of information, anything at all. I guess it may be hard to tell having only 2 pages to go off, just want to make sure I am heading in the right direction.

The next page introducers Satoshi.

Thanks Pharmacist, appreciate your input.

The plan is to only print 21 physical copies but still have digital copies available. Thought it would be cool to make it a collectable but also printing can get expensive and the cost to ship around the world could catch me out.

Anyway if I achieve my funding goal, I will send you a download link once the comic is complete. Thanks again
