Lego Bitcoin Project - Sign up and support so the set becomes real! It's free!

[Juan Taun]

After this project gets 10,000 supporters, Lego will review it and then it could become a real set!

Note: some pieces were 'shopped on (you probably can tell) since I am not a very experienced image editor.  Any suggestions are welcome and I will put them on here.

Suggestions/Possible Improvements:
- Satoshi and Gavin A minifigs
- More databases (large blockchain)
- More floors

This looks promising. I'll definitely give it a view. Will be great if Lego do make something bitcoin related and accept bitcoin for that product. Great thinking OP

[iglasses]

You are closer to a working model than Butterfly!

Interesting concept 

But no kid would want to buy this set if it goes to market. This will either be a complete flop or it's going to be a collector's item.

Sadly - I agree.  Why not just make your own unauthorized version to resell yourself???

Look nice

 It doesn't have to be a kid that buys legos , I mean probably many adult people have toys as well (sorry action figures) , hell even grown up woman like toys if you know what I mean

LEGOOO!!!!!  im mean lego  and if you dont mind im in my mid 20's and still play with lego (no no create play) it takes some of the boredom of the day away and keeps me somewhat sain... well more or less

[Wardrick]

Not trying to be rude, buy when I was younger my 12 year old brother built a replica of something and it was 10x better than that.

Well duh, haven't you seen the Lego movie?!?!
Greatest Lego film ever!

[R2D221]

As much as I like Lego, I don't see the point of having this as a set. I would be more excited if I could by Lego using Bitcoin.

[Cboy]

Looks interesting !

[Juan Taun]

Lego hasn't updated, will post when they do.

[LitcoinCollector]

I agree with R2D221, but I like the bitcoin logo in Lego.

[dougg]

As already stated this project seems a bit pointless... ALTHOUGH lego clearly has some educative value, so if you could mould it so that children learn about crypto from a young age that can only be a positive thing?

[cookmac]

I don't see the point in this at all even for kids? I mean lego has rebranded itself beyond educative purposes and knows its markets  are no longer its actual building blocks.

[Miitch]

I would love to see some more Toy Shops getting on board with Bitcoin. I've got a lot of Christmas Shopping to do this year, I still remember the first year I did it all online. Would be epic if this could be the first year I do it all online and all with Bitcoin too

[markwebster]

That does look interesting, I have to say.

[providers36]

Look good, I have something to say, the creative and beautiful, I would love to take my children play with it

You may want to look at getting a desktop impact printer, this could put the Bitcoin logo into a lego brick(s).

http://www.rolanddga.com/products/impactprinters/mpx90m/specifications.asp

Once in a while, an older model will pop up on ebay for $1500-$2000
There's also a youtube video out there for molding your own lego pieces.

Interesting, I'll check it out.

On another note, the project should be up in about a week, unless something unexpected happens.

Nice MOC, Juan. I was thinking of creating an Asic miner out of Lego but I need more black. Considering we don't have a bitcoin centre its unique. I'll see what I can come up with.

Please sign up for a lego account and support the project so then LEGO can sell it in stores, like Toys R Us!

[franky1]

please make the official one have atleast 2 of these per miner (representing network cable and power cable)



as a true mining farm has LOTS of speghetti.

i decided id show you the pieces needed to make a miner. then how they connect together. i made it easy to see by making them different colours as most would prefer a pure black pieces so treat the colors as display purpose only


now just imagine hundreds of them

[franky1]

... and so yea.. i got bored

[vipgelsi]

Very cool idea how many legos did it take to make it?

[Juan Taun]

Franky, may I use your images and add them to my project so the Lego designers can see it?

Also, if you guys want this to be a reality you have to support it!  It's easy. Just sign up for a Lego account and click support.

[h4xx0r]

bro, thats hella cool

[Juan Taun]

bro, thats hella cool

Are you a supporter? 
Just visit the link on the first post.

[franky1]

juan feel free to add my images to your project. i was bored the day you opened this topic and downloaded lego's official designer software and used that for my creation. so if you also want the .lxf file so you can build walls, windows and doors around it. feel free to tell me your prefered file upload site and ill send you the link.

[Juan Taun]

Bump!

Let's make this set a reality!

[bitllionaire]

wow, that is really cool

I may try bitcoin logo with my lego hehe

[myohmy81]

WoW greate project!

Idea is so good

[colinistheman]

How is that NOT rude? Lol you just tried to shit on him. Why pretend you didn't?

[Juan Taun]

I love legos. Good idea, but you need to make it more interesting in size or the number of details. People like to see amazing things made out of bricks, like this:

Maybe I could post the Lego Digital Designer file on github and have the community add/contribute their ideas!

Open source Lego sets!

If only there were some sort of 3-D machine on the market where folks can mold their own blocks. Imagine the possibilities if the all one had to do was download codes for varies blocks into their 3-D injection molding thingy, then the results would be endless. Only if!

[Juan Taun]

Well, 3D printers print with ABS, the same material that Legos are made from.
