Yep
I don’t see what the confusion is
Clearly states you should apply and then they will review the applications
It literally explains this is not a lottery or a raffle, there is no luck. They are reviewing the potential buyers and they will pick
It’s in black and white

I’m with Lroy. I think at some moment it said something about lottery. Maybe it’s a trick in my mind… and I can’t check, as the link to the story does not longer work…

Anyway. Good luck everyone! (Plus a bit more for me)

What? Of course there's a lottery/raffle component to it. You think they're going to manually sift through 30,000 entries to find the people they want to get a print? Why even do this in the first place? They could of course very easily find 100 people to give these to if that's what they wanted to do. 

When they say review entires, that pretty clearly means that they will randomly select some winners and then check those winners for duplicate entries or some sort of evidence of them being flippers. 

It's so bizarre to think this isn't a lottery/raffle. Why the hell would they go through all of this when could very easily allocate these prints?

"Let's get 30,000 people to apply for this and then select the people we were going to select anyway."

LOL...come on.

Yes it was in an Instagram story, as a gif in the corner, but people don’t read.
Anyway what’s the difference between «  picking up » names, ( as read in previous posts ) and a lottery ?! It’s the same, there are difference : Invader won’t take the most beautiful emails names and adresses, or make a selection about countries, etc etc ..
He would take a random generator ( after checking information and choosing some mates ‘ names maybe, not sure ) that will do the job for this incredible high demand !

Why this debate ?

We all thought that for Banksy GDP.

Very few winners on here ( maybe 3 or 4, 2 ? ) , even on Instagram we were waiting and saw nothing …

Some more wellknown names coming with the third batch or application, later on.

[Lroy]

There is so much nothing at the moment - and for a while - in new prints (oh yes, posters, cokes, and poster again, signed by Hirst and this, from Cherry Blossom, or NFTs ) , that this Invader 's print is creating a buzz. .

We all like old good prints I guess, with beautiful colors and thick mat paper.

Street-art drops are a bit a misery at the moment.
Pejac ? only few and more expensive prints coming with the new show..
Faile, Obey, etc.. forget it.
Blok ? Doodle ? Signed toys and Uno ? Unsigned trains ?

There are new artists of course, but for me, it's not street-art nor graffiti, but rather contemporary artists painting old stuff - it's not a critic - , as impressionism, or in nabis style etc... ( And some are posters again and again... )

Is it the end ? Taxes killed them all ? How to swap with a US or UK colleagues now ?

It's simple to sift through 30k entries in Excel.

I'd remove duplicate IPs, postal codes etc first, I'd then cross reference against previous orders, then I might sort by country.

From that I'd probably randomly assign a number of winners to particular countries or regions. I'd manually check the winners just in case there was anything suss.

Simple, and would take a couple of hours at most.

If you eliminate duplicate postal codes nobody in a big city will win
Imagine the quantity of postal codes in Paris vs the number of applicants

But I agree that IP and address can be a good elimination

Good luck to everyone…the 5 days is coming up…pretty cool for Invader to do it lottery style and not just for the first person who saw his page change.

Fingers crossed!!! (Charlotte NC needs this invasion…there might be 2 or 3 fans here sadly tho…). I’d love to be able to see one of his prints in person!!! I was in paris a few years ago and got to see a handful of his street pieces luckily…)

This could work.

worth somebody with more of a clue than me sanity checking

If you are on a bog standard ISP in the UK, you probably don't have a fixed IP address - if you unplug your router for 10 minutes from the mains then plug it back in, you router will grab a new IP address from your ISP's pool of addresses so this may get around the blocking of the current IP you are trying to get on the Space Shop from

equally - it may not

Yes, Shopify has blacklisted your ip address because you refreshed too much.
It happened also to me. The Space Store can’t do anything about it and Shopify customer service is technologically impaired. Not sure if intentionally or not.
Use VPN.

Thanks for the explanation!

While waiting, I have just received the fan-made map of Basel with 8bit me hanging around the city...

Such a cool little thing to have!

They are nice and lovely ( better than this photocopy of Bilbao fan ) , but well, why people put a lot of money on those on ebay?!  It's clearly not by Invader ( what about fake Banksy so ? anyway there are a lot made by fans too ) ...

But they are nice, I reckon... For 5 or 8 euros but not more ( I paid my Invader Paris's one 8 euros I remember by the past )

this makes zero sense.  why would duplicate IPs or postal codes be immediately eliminated?  the lottery simply said to make an entry per spaceshop account.  it was not 1 entry per IP address or zip code.  while it would make sense not to draw multiple winners from the same IP/zip code.... it also shouldn't eliminate them from the initial draw (if it is a random draw).  the mental gymnastics people go through to reason out what they would have done had they hypothetically been running this lotto is pretty funny.
