Topic: DIY Bitcoin Blockclock (Read 1034 times)
Promoting is participation, I don't need to put on my glasses.
Same here... It adds a cozier vibe to any setup, but apart from the bamboo plate, the one with the front light is already out of stock in the official store while Bitsaga is selling it for €70 more and that one doesn't come with the bamboo plate.
You can basically customize and change BTClock anyway you want, and ordering wooden or bamboo plate locally should not be a problem.- BTW, it appears that there'll be a cool-looking alternative soon, but it'll probably have fewer features: BitKlock™ (there's still no official name, so its name is only meant to be a joke and it might cost around $200) - Mechanical displays were designed by @Engineezy and here's the "link to buy the STL files".
I saw that also, it looks interesting and reminds me on transformers characters from cartoon/movie 
Anyways, once again congrats on your project, and keep up!
This is not my project and not my wesbite, but I guess you would know that if you actually read the content. 
does that make me blind?
Yes.
I think you missed the fact OP doesn't create, build or design either CoinKite Blockclock or someone else DIY BTCClock.
But he promotes, supports, shares its news, and advertises it. That means that he is involved in this project. Is it so bad/ wrong to congratulate him (and of course the creator as well) for their effort or does that make me blind?
I'll let OP says whether he's actually involved on either project. But IMO word "enthusiast" is better term to describe someone who support and sharing words about certain project.

Website is up again, and source code has been moved from to GIT, that is much better alternative for github.

It's good to see they host the code elsewhere, although it'll impact it's popularity on long term. Anyway, i wanted to check whether BTCClock's code pose similarity with CoinKite Blockclock, but i unable to find code for it. Does anyone where or how Coinkate host or share it's blockclock source code?
bias and Jont_Silver, is it really that hard to actually read a post?
No, what did we (I) miss? Are you referring to a specific one?

A good device. You did well!
First of all, congrats on your work, I really like it and I have always been interested in/ wanted a BTC clock.
I don't have the knowledge though to assemble it myself, so in any case I will have to get the complete version of the clock. Unfortunately, in the country I am in, it will cost a lot to ship it and I imagine that the taxes will be equally expensive. So, I don't know if it's even worth asking about it. Plus as I see on your site, it's out of stock.

I really like this new BTClock Rev. B with white front light and bamboo material.

- Based on one of the X posts shared by Mitchell, I think Djuri only needs to change the name and the appearance of BTClock to get back to normal operations and I actually think this would be a blessing in disguise.
I don't want to waste time talking about nvk and his pathetic behavior, but I am glad to see that everything is back to normal.Website is up again, and source code has been moved from to GIT, that is much better alternative for github.

I haven't been that active in the past few months so I'm not updated on all fronts [e.g. NVK's issues with Foundation, Seedsigner, etc...], but it appears that nvk wasn't expecting BTClock to have a chance in the beginning and as soon as Djuri started adding more features to BTClock, he chose to take out the competition to salvage their overpriced products [SMH]!

New update to situation, and big support to developer Djuri!
Appeal has been submitted to Github, and watch out guys if you use word CLOCK in your open source project nvk could also try to report you for ''stealing'' his tRadeEmArk'' because he doesn't have anything better to do in his poor life
Longer explanation from Djuri in his blog post written in El Salvador (Adopting Bitcoin conference):

Thanks to
@satslwyr
we just submitted an appeal to GitHub 🙏 the gist (no pun intended 😄) is that generic words like clock can't be trademarked and that there is no likelyhood of confusion.

Project killed by Coinkite. GitHub removed.
So cypherpunk. Lol.
I always said that nvk is an biggest asshole ever and I was right! So cypherpunk. Lol.
It is confirmed now that he is egoistic mental patient and a nutcase.
This Djuri guy didn't reverse enginer or clone anything, he made everything himself and post it as open source, but nvk obvisouly hates open source!
Time to start campaign against c0dlcard and all other nvk crapware!
EDIT:
Limited number of stock available at bitsaga, and all orders will be forwarded to Djuri:

Coinkite issued a cease and desist (and GitHub complied):
- https://x.com/BitsagaRob/status/1857353170768253170
- https://x.com/btcqna/status/1857142583065264385

- https://x.com/btcqna/status/1857142583065264385
Considering this action along with making ColdCard source code no longer open source, it's clear Coinkite no longer care about open source community. What a shame.
On a side note, it doesn't seem GitHub publicize cease and desist they received, when they do that with DMCA request on https://github.com/github/dmca.

I did quick check and it's true i can't access any of the GitHub repository. But at same time,
1. Blockclock still available on their store.
2. https://blockclockmini.com/ is still up, although https://coinkite.com/ shows Blockclock on both main and archive section.
Do you or someone else know what's going on?

Why go through all that trouble, if you can just re-purpose a old used cellphone?
Did you even read what I wrote or you just decided to write something randomly? 
And why would you use smartphone when you have old dumb phones works fine, and you should not use flat screens when old black&white tv and FM radio is working fine?
Preev is only showing bitcoin price and you need browser to open the page.
BTClock is working independent and it shows much more information ( Block height, Sats per Dollar, Price, Time, Halving Countdown), all that in cool retro design.

I can easily check the price of Bitcoin and some other Alt coins, just by clicking on the drop down button. (It auto updates)
You have a point, but it's worth noting that they're not limited to showing only the price [you can display other Bitcoin-related stats, and some of them even allow you to display custom data that has nothing to do with Bitcoin] and IMO, it improves almost any kind of setup [design-wise]. ~Snipped~

I took a old used cellphone and fired up the browser and opened https://preev.pro or Preev.com and placed it on my desk.

the one that is the same size as the BTClock is roughly $400
Than how big was nkv's coinkite clock in full size?I can share some opinions once I have both.
That would be nice.I think BTClock have big advantage that you can customize and change it however you want.
Developer is constantly updating it and adding new versions.
Not sure how large the original was but its quite large with multiple lines. The one that the btclock is modeled after appears to look almost identical with most of the same visuals. It was 400 so still nearly twice the price as btcclock
