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

[Juan Taun]

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

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.

[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]

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.

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

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.
