Project update:

I’m tentatively calling this endeavor “From the Temple of Satoshi” and I’m intending to incorporate Bitcoin reactive lighting effects into other projects going forward. I want to create ARTifacts from the lost (or yet to be built?) Temple of Satoshi.

So far I have a working prototype for my code and electronic components. After you connect to the local WiFi instance and save network credentials etc the LED begins to react to Bitcoin. Heartbeat pulsing every time a block is found for instance. 21 slow ceremonial pulses for each Halving. And other effects. Still need to iterate and improve the UX but it works.

This first stylized column sculpture is still in the works as well. I need to finish carving the embellishments and then connect the three pieces with a steel pin and epoxy. And I need to carve a niche for the electronics and mount the LED.

A lot left to do, but it’s coming along nicely. I’m still amazed I was able to use AI to guide me through the electronics and code. I started off using grok and then chat gpt but I’ve since moved on to using Claude for the coding. Anybody have any tips for vibe coding???
