Hey looks really good. I sent you a message the other day on youtube telling about how I was making almost the same device. But I think it's cool how you're doing it with Arduino. I'm using raspberry pi but really I think Arduino is better if you can do it, because it boots faster and it's cheaper.

I'm not really any of these, maybe I'd be close to "The Thechy", but they should have "the activist" or something like that.

I'll post here again on 28.11.2013

Thanks,

I think this is a cool idea, is it still going on?

Also because the screen is small and bright you cant see the light going off when BTC is added. But later when it's all done I'll make a good video showing it all off, for now this is just an early demo. Ideas and feedback welcome!

Hi all,

I've been working on this project for the last few weeks. Anyway I thought I should share the project with everyone. My main documentation is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14_aS8ibiplEprVMEj58Uv1u1eaaE3sMuAybTZJg-wqw/edit

wallet address: 1GtaPezXJnAcXhMy5Cq7QYuva463PYhRyR

Also I'm running it on ustream for a bit, in case anyone wants to add a little btc and watch it work. (beware it looks like ustream has at least a 20 second delay)

Nice job!

someone actually gave me one.

Do you know of any polls or studies done that support this? I'd be happy to know it's true but working in IT, it's not what I've personally seen.

thats not bad at all, I bought three of them, with import taxes and shipping, I ended up spending about $150. Of course I didn't make my money back but for me the education and even fun involved in getting everything setup was well worth the money. Now they are mining alt coins which is fun and ifI'm super lucky maybe their value will rise enough for me to make my money back.

got a reply already:

Hello,

I've donated in the past and I would like to again, do you accept bitcoin?

Thanks,
Alfred

I am working a project like this too so I'd like to know if the SD card will be ok or not. Also how long will a 32Gb card last us with the growing blockchain?

Ok well just as an update for anyone who may find this in a search, I think this thread my help:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300721.0

also search "bitcoind"

Hi all,

What I want to do is install a wallet on my rasberry pi and have the amount of bitcoins in that wallet displayed on a LED or LCD screen. Is there a wallet that can pass information to another program that can then display on the 16X2 LCD screen for example.

Thanks,
Ecurb

I think the best chance to make the ROI is by mining another coin at this point.

I would like to know more details as soon as possible.

Is it aloud to share tickets? My wife and I would each like to attend one day, could we buy one ticket and each use it for one day?

Thanks,
Ecurb

thanks! with a little searching I was able to get it moved.

welcome!
