Sheep with Bitcoin feed: A developer dares to Experiment
A IT network technician has set up an interactive sheep breeders, the crypto-donations in alfalfa Pellets converts. To feed the sheep, the user Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cash, Litecoin or XRP. The sheep-Feeder will be streamed live on Twitch and YouTube. The user can control the cameras and the sheep in the field call in.
On a small plot of land in the Czech Republic, Karel and Kamila Czech have a herd of little sheep. And these little sheep love crypto. Of course, the road to the sympathies of a sheep through his stomach, therefore, the IT network engineer, Karel has set up a crypto-powered interactive sheep-Feeder. Donations of Bitcoin and other crypto-currency will be converted to alfalfa Pellets. The action will be broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch, so that the donor can observe the antics of the sheep, while you look after the food.
The sheep’s antics can be viewed from different camera angles. A donation of 50 to Twitch-“Bits” (0,60 Dollar) that are paid with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC) and Ripple’s XRP, triggers the valve in a sheep stall, the tasty tidbits to be released. The user can also donate $ 0.50 in crypto directly, by scanning a QR Code on the Livestream or one of the von Böhm specified wallet addresses to donate.
Böhm has introduced in the past month, the five largest crypto-currencies and also the payment with the scaling solution of Bitcoin, the Lightning Network (LN), set up. If you have a Lightning-Wallet, you need to scan the user only the QR-Code, which speeds up both for Bitcoin-loving people as well as for the sheep thing.
The engineer bebschreibt that he has started his crypto-Experiment in the year 2018, to have his wife help in the care of the eight Ouessant sheep to which it has adopted. But the project began with a different crypto-currency – Iota was developed for the Internet of things. It was originally called “the sheep tangle,” according to the distributed Ledger of the network, the Tangle. As the Iota Foundation had turned off in February after a Hack the network, not want to Böhm cancel the Experiment, so he threw his net wide.
When he was asked what crypto currency brings in the most donations, he was shy. He said that the project ran long enough to determine, and the users of Finance currently, only about 20 Feeds per day. In addition to the Feed of the sheep, the users can also earn “sheep points” by simply keep track of the Live broadcast. Furthermore, there are special bonuses for wax strips and for the participation in a “RAID” in the sheepfold, when this is resolved.
In addition, the dispenser may activate an Alarm, the sheep from the field to the feeding summon, and the camera shots switch, to get the best angle on the subsequent scramble to alfalfa. Böhm is now working on an “Apple drop”, “the sheep love,” he said. The sheep continue to eat their staple food, hay and Grass, so the extra food is a treat.
Böhm also adheres to strict feeding times of the sheep, of 8 to 20 hrs CET, and said, the System is so designed that it emits a maximum of 100 food drops per day, before the feeding is set.
