watch chickens for free and feed with #bitcoin lightning

[AMBOSS ⚡ @ambosstech]

@Jestopher_BTC tried to spend #Bitcoin in 2017. Paid $60 in fees… twice.
Then he fed chickens in Florida with Lightning via @pollofeed.
That’s when it clicked. 🐔⚡

@ambosstech @pollofeed More like it "clucked"

[Prashanth @prashanthc123]

12/ RIP to @pollofeed – the original chicken-feeder that showed Lightning could control hardware instantly. Legendary demo.
Sip and stack sats with @beerofsatoshi, a fun way to Orange pill people one beer at a time.

11/ @SheepTangle lets you stream sats into a real farm and feed sheep live on stream.
It’s chaotic, hilarious, and the best demo of Lightning IRL.

[Brandon Bailey @bitcoinbeezy]

Few people know the joy and excitement of feeding the chickens on @pollofeed with lightning payments back in 2019, you just had to be there

Where is that excitement now in lightning?

@WarumBTC @Cryp_donate Danke. Finde es auch genial. Die ursprüngliche Idee kam natürlich von @pollofeed 🚀

Ladies looking good! Thanks for the continued support

@Lightningcats21 Cool noted

I Trigger feeding currently by having a message queue. I insert msg when someone presses feed. And a raspberry pi consumes queue message and switches on a rotisserie motor for 15s. The motor and cereal dispenser works — not consistent tho.

@Lightningcats21 Thanks for the link does look good on a quick scan. I’ll probably use that as a reference. Not sure I want to run lnbits. I used to experiment with it but broke with updates a while back.

How long do you toggle the switch for?

[🐔 pollofeed.com ⚡ @pollofeed]

@Lightningcats21 Ok cool I’ll check it out! Looks better than using this library https://t.co/OmZ9DbsByt

Which sends data (over http) to their server to then trigger the feeder.

Was thinking of installing a custom microcontroller like others I have seen

[🐔 pollofeed.com ⚡ @pollofeed]

@Lightningcats21 Is that the pet kit feeder? I picked one up it’s some sweet hardware. Do you use the python lib to trigger? Am thinking about testing it out

[🐔 pollofeed.com ⚡ @pollofeed]

@BTCMentoring seems to add confusion / unknowns on both sides

[🐔 pollofeed.com ⚡ @pollofeed]

@callebtc I want to avoid payments failing and make it easy for people to pay. sounds like a good idea to have an option for both, but if it's unreliable then it's no good.

@JWWeatherman_ @7OrizzoN7 Ready for the revolution! Onboarding people to bitcoin is amazingly difficult. People would use the site but they don’t want to install cash app. Hope there is a solid wallet in the future. I’m cool with running own node but yeah even that is too much work and wouldn’t recommend
