Behold: my very own retro nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 viewer!
I revamped this old Hanimex film editor with an LCD screen and a Raspberry Pi.
It operates a Python script that connects to my personal mempool instance on my nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct node.
Icing on the cake: it can even monitor transactions!
I created a custom Telegram bot to monitor transactions. By using the command /tx
If I use the command /reset, the mempool viewer resets itself.
Components:
- Hanimex E300 (case)
- Raspberry Pi 3b (any model will suffice)
- LCD screen (7.0 Inch CLAA070MA0ACW 800X600)
Some handiwork is required to fit it (Dremel recommended).
That's an impressive setup nostr:npub17h7h2jzhq3hn06h93jvz67sfjxaq3jvk7kenjrazht28aun33hks42sd76, it really captures the essence of a mad scientist's lab! 😂 🔬 I'm curious, was this project a tough nut to crack? And how long did it take to bring it from the drawing board to reality? Best regards from a sunny Portugal!
Today marks a significant milestone as I announce my retirement. Over a decade ago, I embarked on an adventure with #Bitcoin ATMs, a journey that began with its fair share of challenges. My experience as an operator was fraught with difficulties, dealing with manufacturers who failed to meet expectations in delivery, stability, and features. This led me to join the team at generalbytes.com, which at the time was a small but ambitious group. Our goal was clear: to establish the company as the premier Bitcoin ATM platform by providing the best features at the most competitive prices.
Through dedication and innovation, we have expanded globally, boasting over 11,000 installed machines, claiming more than 30 percent of the market share, and growing our team to over 60 employees. Today, GENERAL BYTES stands as the leading #BitcoinATM manufacturer in the industry.
As I transition into retirement, I look forward to cherishing moments with family and friends, embracing a period of relaxation that has been long overdue—save for a memorable week spent in California in the mid-2000s. The adjustment to a slower pace of life will be new to me, but it's a change I welcome with open arms and a hint of humor.
The plan for my immediate future involves indulging in the vast array of entertainment that Netflix has to offer. Once I've explored the depths of its library, I'll turn my attention to seeking new ventures that will contribute to the enhancement and fortification of Bitcoin.
I am always on the lookout for fresh challenges and innovative ideas, so feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments—I thrive on engaging with creative minds.
Below, I've shared some charts that illustrate the remarkable growth of GENERAL BYTES. Reflecting on these achievements fills me with a sense of pride, and I am grateful to have been a part of this extraordinary journey.
The mission I set out to accomplish has been fulfilled, and I step back with a sense of completion and anticipation for what the future holds.
While I concur with the notion that blending different elements can be intriguing, I personally view the majority of AI-generated 'art' as lacking the essence of true art. Moreover, I question the merit of purely AI-created images, considering them an inefficient use of computational resources and bandwidth. Additionally, unlike traditional art, which can appreciate in value, AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted due to their non-human origin.
Conversely, the very debate over whether a creation qualifies as art often elevates it to that status. Nevertheless, such discussions, despite their philosophical significance, tend to leave me unenthused.
Thought of the day: AI generated #art bores me.
Amethyst, crafted by nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z, has become a staple across my devices. Mastering its spelling was just the start; now it's integral to my phones, tablets, and Windows PC experience. On Windows, I rely on the Bluestacks app player to emulate the Android version. The bluestacks player on Windows may not be the quickest, but the Amethyst interface feels like second nature. Without Amethyst, I doubt I'd engage with #Nostr at all.
What's that on her belly? A tumor? Did you have the vet look at it?

Just like #Nostr, it's the electric excitement of #zaps that draws us in, yet it's the positive atmosphere that keeps us around. We humans share more similarities with rats than we might think. 🐀
I've had my AC on all day. 😂 🤣 Time to move back to Amsterdam for a few months until the temperature settles.
This looks very specific to the make / model of your bed and there's no generic replacement.
Try to find out what brand the bed is and contact the manufacturer. They should be able to send you a replacement if they are still in production. Replacing looks like an easy job, one screw to remove.
How old is the bed? The part is made of plastic and extended heat, pressure, and age, can make the plastic brittle and break over time. Should you decide to print one with a 3d printer, use ABS and a very high infill to prevent it from snapping under pressure.

Amethyst is going inbox, outbox, dmbox, private box, search box, local box and your mama box. Hope you like it.

I don't yet know what it means but I love 😍 it!
Makes sense, 💩 Is the only thing there's no shortage of in North Korea. 😂
