Check out LightningSpore.com, mushroom and electronics shop which accepts BTC+LN We specialize in open-source software and hardware to automate growing of mushrooms, plants, and other stuff

I’m guessing it’s a smallish market, but I’ve bought some rabbit manure on Etsy before. It is good mushroom substrate.

Have you ever gone to the store and seen “my first dollar” hanging in a picture frame somewhere?

I knew entrepreneurship would be hard, but getting someone out there to take a chance has been an endeavor.

When someone buys something from me, (at least on-chain), I’m going to send that UTXO to an opendime or a satscard and display it forever! nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8

It could be you anon! It could be your sats I hang up on the wall!

Check out my site, send me a message in my new and improved contact form, let’s be friends and grow mushrooms together!

Little mushroom sparky is having a bad time, because he didn't get enough field training during his spore-ty degree.

I have written a Bitcoin Payments Policy for my business, and am looking for feedback from anyone!

I have tried to explain the benefits to the customer, and to me as a business for why bitcoin-only. I feel like there are some bullet points missing, so please let me know. Thanks yall!

The start of something big! Took a clone of the hardest mushroom I’ve ever grown.

Hopefully the cloned mycelium will be more consistent and easier to fruit.

I really do appreciate the follows from you all!

I used to post stuff on Twitter, similar technology, bitcoin, mushroom content and it was just 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

I’m glad to have broken out of the algorithm! Don’t know why I waited so long! ✌🏼

Follow along to learn how to make your own Agar plates for creating clean mushroom cultures.

Start with with 10g of Light Malt Extract Powder

Then add 10g of Agar Agar Powder. I like this brand over some of the cheaper ones.

Then add 500mL water. Therefore we should be at around 520grams total.

I added some food coloring, which is useful if you are trying out multiple recipes at once and want to keep track. Also I put it in a PP5 container and cover it with foil so it stays protected.

Now put it in the Pressure Cooker and cook for about 30 minutes, at 15 PSI.

Im working on some computer vision stuff, so I made this camera mount yesterday 😉.

Then take it out and let it cool until its around 120F. Thats when you want to pour it into plates. Dont delay too much or else itll get chunky on you.

Carefully pour into your petri dishes in a sterile environment!

You're done! Its easy! Happy cultivating!

Weird, I’ll have to learn more about that! The plate came from a transfer, which came from some really old Liquid Culture.

GM fam. I'm starting a new business and it's a little broad, so i need some help with a name and any other ideas you have. I've been doing decorative concrete for 15 years and need make a change, so I want to expand into home/biz reorganization and am looking for some input.

I was brainstorming about what I like to do and what I'm good at. Here's what it boils down to.

- I like to look at shit, rearrange it in my head, and make it happen.

- I like to make stuff better

Narrowed it down to "I like to rearrange my local environment better, so I can relax, and focus on what's important to me."

But I don't really like to clean. Heheh. Anyways, my GF calls me "Stacks", bc I'm always organizing shit.

So I was thinking, what about a biz that combines all of my skills and lays out a broad scope of services so that I'll always have work and never be bored? Perfect.

Services:( if I can't do it, I will use subs)

- home and office reorganization

- de-cluttering

- make ready for rent or sale

- yard cleanup/garden layout/water collection/aquaponics/permaculture

- estate sales

- light contracting/renovation

- stained concrete/curb appeal

- hoarding (not sure on this one)

How can I best encapsulate all of this under one umbrella and what should I call it?

My decorative concrete biz is called Abstract Concrete. It's a great name, and I'm usually really good at naming stuff, but this is really broad.

I've got like 20 ideas already for names, but what comes to mind for you?

Also, I will be wanting a website and SEO for whoever might want to tackle that. I've built all my own websites, but it'd be great to collaborate with someone better than me.

Let me know know what y'all think. Love you guys and gals!

I’ve had some good luck creating my website with Wordpress and Elementor Pro. Easy to connect Wordpress to BTCPayServer or LNBits, and it is the easiest no-code, yet relatively sovereign (self-hosted) solution, if you choose to do that. Otherwise hosting is easy and cheap.

Was trying to use an AI QR code generator, and it didn’t really work, but the result was cool regardless!

I know shiitake mycelium is supposed to turn brown at some point, but Im not sure if this looks quite right?

These weird dark balls are what is most concerning and interesting

I mostly just fry them with butter and add them to eggs or currys and stuff like that. I really do love the Lions Mane flavor, someone should make LM chips or something like that 😉

Doing some testing of various modules for an induction heater/sterilizer kit!

All it is really is a 12V, high output power supply, the ZVS module, a switch, and a coil.

This one actually got so hot that the connector melted off the board!

I tried soldering the coil directly on to the board once I learned that, but the damage to the electronics had already been done.

Just ordered ZVS module to try again! You got to push it to the limit to see how well it would operate in the users hands!

Would anyone be interested in a kit of one of these? Please let me know.

I hope to contribute to to the people of Nostr by showing them new ways to produce their own food.
