A graffiti artist receives a donation of 1 Bitcoin

A French graffiti artist receives a donation of 1 Bitcoin!

Pascal Boyart, the French graffiti artist known for his wall paintings containing hidden prices in cryptocurrency, has published on Reddit that he won a full Bitcoin two days ago (worth almost $4,000) for his piece entitled “Liberté Guidant le Peuple”, painted this year in Paris.

Boyart included cryptocurrencies as a means of payment for his work last year.
He added a QR code of his Bitcoin portfolio to earn passive income for his work.
And the strategy has resulted in a resounding success.
The received Bitcoin is added to the total of 0.14 bitcoin, five Bitcoin Cash and 1.25 Litecoin (together, for an approximate value of $1,400 at the time of publication).

“I could not imagine receiving so much,” Boyart said.
It should be noted that the artist does not know the identity of his donator.
Boyart has on his website influences such as Pieter Bruegel, Jackson Pollack and Georges Seurat, none of which has been paid for his art with Bitcoin.

Although Boyart’s website indicates that he is the “first mural painter to have put a QR code of Bitcoin in his donation charts,” there is at least one other artist using the same modality.
His name is Cryptograffiti and has received micropayments in this way for his crypto-related public art since 2011.

However, making a QR code public is not without risks.
It is always feared that someone “hijacks” your code by coding it to another personal wallet address.
To avoid this, Boyart collects the URL of your website with the QR code, so that people wishing to make a donation can check their address on the site. “It gives me pleasure to see the support of the community,” wrote Boyart.

In order to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the block genesis of the Bitcoin blockchain, he decided to create a work with the theme “Treasure Hunt”.
It is a wall painting with an enigma, and who succeeds in deciphering it, will receive a reward in cryptocurrency.
