Set up your own vending machine with Lightning Payment and win 1 Bitcoin solving this puzzle
Good morning traders and cryptoenthusiasts! The new week is already long underway, so let's dig into the world of cryptocuriosities.
Elaine Ou has set up a bird-feed vending machine, connected to a Raspberry Pi and a webshop front-end, where you can buy her bird some beans with Bitcoin and pay via the Lightning Network. She has included a demo on the website, and oh boy, it's lightning fast :)
Go buy some beans for the bird
If you want to buy her bird some beans, head over to https://beans4bits.com/ and spread some love around. It would be nice to have a live webcam of the vending machine though.
Elaine has included a nice demo video of how fast the process is and how it works.

Fan of puzzles? Read on.
Bitcoin puzzle games are a logical step after looking at Bitcoin's nature - people are still searching for the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin miners solve complex formulas (puzzles) etc.
Apparently in 2015 a puzzle game called "The Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto" was introduced, and solving the game netted the user $50K worth of Bitcoins. Haven't heard about it? Me neither. Not to worry - keep reading.
On February 20th (today!), another Bitcoin puzzle game sees life. MonteCrypto: The Bitcoin Enigma, players need to solve 24 crazy puzzles. The first one to solve the game will get one Bitcoin. It's not as much as the first game netted, but it's not too little either, for playing a game :)
Apparently, players can even work in teams and help each other solve the puzzles. Or they can drop false breadcrumbs for other players to mislead them into dead ends and gain a nice advantage.
According to bitcoin.com, the price of admission will be $1.99. At the time of writing this post, the game is not yet for sale and the price cannot be verified by me.
So - if you love puzzles, team up with your friends and go get that Bitcoin!

Interesting, I will definitely give it a try. I see that you can play it in multiplayer.
Well the Steam store page says that it's singleplayer, but the descriptions say, you can team up. How thta works, i am not sure yet.
@doctorcro @furious-one There is no multiplayer. The only way to team up is by sharing ideas on how to beat the game.
@ furious-one, this is great, any way to know more about this?
Thank You
Sure, check the original story, also linked in my article.
I'm getting ready for the Steam game, comes out in 2 hours! Get hyped!
Interesting to see people using nodejs on what would have been considered an embedded Linux computer a few years ago. Nice post.
Hey @furious-one , this is awesome. I want to know how lucrative this investment may be before diving in . Any risk on capital ?
Only the price of the game apparently, which should be less than $2
Good idea, Puzzles sharp minds.
