well the idea looks great, but let me ask... what happens to the fish if nobody donates? will you leave it to die? That's the part I don't understand.

The only problem could be BTC transaction times. No one could want long BTC transaction times, which will be of course with BTC transaction fee 0.0001  Wink

HAHA  Cool Grin Grin - just closed the window behind - it was very disturbing Tongue
Awesome man Smiley I used to have a fish tank too and when I go for holidays the poor fish starve Sad This makes me want to have one feeder like yours hehe. Just wondering, did you make that yourself, and how did you make it auto feed when the btc balance increase? Waiting to see the new fish!

If it blures out, try another pc/phone (i dont know why - but it youtube stream blure out on my ipad...)

yes there are MANY easy options to realize something like that:
if you want to make it very robust and with an arduino take something like that:
https://github.com/fluentart/BitRobot

however, i switched to a raspberry pi - since it also is capable to stream videos. The quality is just related to your internet upload  Tongue
if you need support/source - just contact me

to the second question: i usually just check the balance on my phone - if nobody feed it - ill do it for my own (like the last 3 days  Grin Grin)
it is just the stream - that is not THAT stable (i think its related to my poor internet)

Just fed it, but I can't seem to see clearly. Tongue Sometimes it turns out clear, but sometimes it lags and everything blurs out. I guess it's difficult to livestream. If it is possible, can you give a notification when the BTC is received and when the food is dropped in the tank? A recording function would be nice too! Grin

Really amazed and curious on how it works. Saw your thumbs up too hahaha! Hope to see the tank grow and more fishes in it! Cheesy

Seems offline.
Possibly because of holidays?
It seems like a nice and creative idea for a project, but as long as i haven't seen it,
it's hard to tell what to expect from it.
it's working fine now also it does not have many informations so that server go down on him i think maybe there is problem in the internet
obviously my raspi was not stable enough for livestream - now online again - hope it works now

Sorry but I didn't get it...
What is this...
Please can anyone elaborate me...
You can actually see it if you click the link https://btcfish.wordpress.com/
So this guy is make a streaming video on YouTube, in the video there's an aquarium with a fish that you can feed by sending a Bitcoin.
And he said that the donation is for buying a new bigger aquarium and an underwater camera Smiley

You can always try promoting your project via social media (facebook, twitter, etc)

I don't see any of these on your site.

By the way, your idea is really unique!  Wink

Wish you the best!

Anyone knows how to make something like that public?
Beside reddit, is there any better way to get attention?

If it is going well i will upgrade it significantly + i am already thinking about "feed the chicken  Grin" -> since i have some  Cool Cool

Make a blog entry detailing how you built it and then get it on twitter, facebook, instagram.

1mBTC for feeding a fish, that kinda funny and some kind of waste of money.
But what makes it better is, you use the money to send it to a donation. Smiley
You should add an option to adding a new fish by sending more Bitcoin Wink

actually i deleted the if(inc>=1mBTC) feed;
ATM you can send satoshies too -> i just wanted to prevent overfed in the first place Tongue

This is a nice project but why hosted on wordpress, i think this would have been better if OP setup everything on the domain name http://www.btcbigfish.com
FOR SURE - if it is more or less successful Smiley
I am also thinking on underwater streaming etc  Cool -> so you actually see the feeding VERY good!
However, as the "users" have decreased significantly after the initialization post (last usage yesterday) i am not sure about it Tongue

I have realllllllly shitty quality feed happening. I can't even see the fish tank.

Ok that's an exaggeration but it's close to true.
But it's a great idea. If only I could see something worth looking at.

I look at the live stream for 5 minutes and still couldn't spot the fish in it. Do you mind taking a picture and posting it here so it would be clear? Honestly I don't think you needed some others people fund to feed the fish as I'm sure fish foods are not expensive however the cause of it it's nice so best of luck Wink

well  Grin atm i just take it out - if there is too much.
i will ad a limitation if there are many useres - lets have a look Smiley

btw: why i am NOT allowed to post it on reddit....  Huh Cry
post was banned!? wtf reddit!? Pls somebody repost/distribute Wink

I remember something similar in the early days of the www, someone hooked a vending maching up the web and allowed people to buy soda's for some college kids (using paypal I think).

Reddit is getting bad and the bitcoin thread/board is well, full of people moaning about the block size most days...  Look at the bright side, if your post went up, your fish might end up sitting on a pile of fish food.  Grin
