Public Domain ... Did you know all about it ... you've struck GOLD!
We always want to have a small hint for a start to anything and everything ... so many times we need slightly more than that. Take the help of things that are in PUBLIC DOMAIN. What is Public Domain ... Public Domain, according to Wikipedia is ...
The term public domain has two senses of meaning. Anything published is out in the public domain in the sense that it is available to the public. Once published, news and information in books are in the public domain, although they may also be copyrighted. In the sense of intellectual property, works in the public domain are those whose exclusive intellectual property rights have expired,[1] have been forfeited,[2] have been expressly waived, or are inapplicable.[3] For example, the works of Shakespeare and Beethoven, and most of the early silent films, are all now in the public domain by either being created before copyrights existed or leaving the copyright term.[1] Examples for works not covered by copyright which are therefore in the public domain, are the formulae of Newtonian physics, cooking recipes,[4] and all software before 1974.[5] Examples for works actively dedicated into public domain by their authors are reference implementations of cryptographic algorithms,[6][7][8] NIH's ImageJ,[9] and the CIA's World Factbook.[10] The term is not normally applied to situations where the creator of a work retains residual rights, in which case use of the work is referred to as "under license" or "with permission".
As rights are country-based and vary, a work may be subject to rights in one country and be in the public domain in another. Some rights depend on registrations on a country-by-country basis, and the absence of registration in a particular country, if required, creates public domain status for a work in that country.

I'm still struggling to give away my work as public domain. I liked the links here. Through the links I discovered unsplash recently updated their website with a "coffee" button. Thats a donation button to the artists that made their images public domain.
Help me figure out how to add a bitcoin to art or at least make art have value.
Hi Bubblingwells,
Very much similar to your views ... a few days back I discovered 'Musicoin' a cryptocurrency specially beneficial to the musicians; at the same time cannot find one related to your query. Hope soon someone will bring something out on the similar lines for the Artists.
The second part of your note contained something that led me to this link https://venturebeat.com/2015/04/09/an-artist-hid-4-87-bitcoins-in-this-painting-puzzle-triggering-a-frenzy-to-solve-it-and-claim-them/

I thought I saw QR-codes but it looked like a checker board pattern. Well, its got squares. you could do a painting with qr-codes. We don't know if she is telling the truth. How do we know if theres bitcoins in it. she could have painted on top of a paper bitcoin with public and private keys addresses. Maybe that will show up in xrays. cryptoart seems to look like paper bitcoin wallet, public and private keys in plain view. I don't think the artwork itself has any bitcoin info in it.
I see different amounts of flames around the edges. could be a form of counting system, maybe bar codes
