Does anybody know a cheaper alternative for the BlockClock?

I want it so badly but can’t justify the price

I want one too…I guess maybe wait a little more than treat yourself around the halving to it? Idk any other alternative to that type of product. It’s very cool.

As a halving present, nice idea

I might start setting sats clock.

Cool! That’s dope

build ur own. might not be as flash tho

Not ideal for a non techy guy

The CockBlock

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alright that’s insane dope! Unfortunately I’m not a techy guy so making this stuff is nothing for me

Ah ok. I can say that I’m also not a big techguy but I got this thing running… it’s not that difficult

Awesome 👏. How much is the display?

Display costs about 20$ but you need a raspberry pi zero and this could be expensive in these times…

Thanks for the advice sir

Install this on an m5stack: https://github.com/kkdao/micro-blockclock

Thanks sir! Will look into it but have no clue what all that is or means 😅

M5stacks are cheap. Its pretty easy to install and it gives you this:

Thanks bro

If you have a simple spare small display / tablet you could simply display the widget from this site. Shouldn’t be that hard to build:

Alright thanks brother

I had a spare Raspberry Pi so built something myself with an ePaper hat as the display. It doesn’t look as nice as the BlockClock but works ok.

Damn it’s so cool if you’re techy and you can build shit yourself… jealous at that skill

You can run a JavaScript widget version for free.

You make a basic html page to run on an old tablet or phone, and put the code in.

It's easier than it sounds. If you grab a basic html page template. Basically, you run a small .html page from the device itself.

Thank you sir! Appreciate your help 🫂

The micro is way more affordable than the mini imo. I wanted a regular too but could never justify the price tag, seen the mini was only 662008 sats i was like ok this is more reasonable. Love having it now

Alright! Probably will buy that as a halving present

Great idea!

seedsigner for scale

Dope!!!

it runs since saturday without interruption

it cost me about 30-40€ for the parts

So cool! Thanks for sharing bro

if you have questions about the parts, just get in touch
