Ok this is freaking cool. I used grok to write the code for this sculpture. Still waiting on hardware and lights, but all it took was a little troubleshooting and the code verifies. Assuming it works as intended, this sculpture will: -Pulse every time a block is found -Adjust brightness based on TX volume -2 pulses on ±5% hashrate change -3 quick flashes when the mempool is filling up -5 slow fades for a difficulty adjustment And I've modified the WifiManager portal so it has a more "Bitcoin" aesthetic and explanations of the lighting effects. I'll obviously test it and iterate a bit, but I'm pretty excited. Oh and I guess I have to finish carving and polishing the stone too....

Pedestals wrapped. Sculptures padded. Off to Vegas at the crack of dawn tomorrow. 🚗💨☀️

Bit of progress today. I spent an embarrassingly long time flattening the various edges so the three pieces would sit flush. After that, some shaping of the capital. Tomorrow packing up sculptures for Vegas, so this piece gets to rest for a little while. The final design of the base and capital decorations is still coming together so it’ll be good to let those ideas percolate.

Bitcoiners… Asking for your help. I now work full time as an artist, so these auctions directly impact my livelihood. If you enjoy following my work and want to see it continue, please help spread the word. (Or place a bid!🤝) Auction links below!
