PRESIDIO BITCOIN HACKATHON 💾 Join us for Presidio Bitcoin’s first-ever hackathon! All coding levels welcome. We’re building on bitcoin + AI and giving away $10k in prizes. I’ll be mentoring, judging, and demoing my Mario Kart game for some inspo! ➡️

Presidio Bitcoin Hackathon 2025

A 24-hour hackathon bringing together hackers and technologists to build at the forefront of bitcoin, AI, and open-source.

Stickers for the Tokyo premier. Sorry I couldn't fit my whole npub on there. Who's going to come play?! 🍄

MARIO KART: DOUBLE SATS!! 🍄 I'm premiering my latest Lightning game at the Lightning Fair at the new Tokyo Bitcoin Base on April 26th, and I'd love to see you there! Compete against other Mario and Lightning lovers to win sats streamed in real-time. ⚡️

Update: Okay. Mario Kart: Double Sats now streams you sats in real time for every second you're in first place. This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. 😭 Thoughts: - Writing Python is so easy, it feels like cheating - I don't vibe code—writing out every line is too much fun (plus, vibe coding can cause issues later...? Also, AI can't fully figure out stuff like making this game yet) - Sending glitches to the game over Lightning (like I did with Super Mario Sats) I have not figured out yet, and I'm not sure how practical it will be - Who wants to play this with me?! In person first before I put it online

Update for those of you who are interested in Mario Kart: Double Sats: I have identified the correct memory locations of the players' lap count and position in the race. And I figured out how to access this memory outside of the emulator, using Python. This means I can plug it into my LND node and get the game streaming sats in real time. This is one of the coolest, funnest, and nerdiest things I've ever done. Will have a working demo this week.

What should I name my zap-hack of Mario Kart Double Dash? (Once I finish it, it’ll stream you sats for every second you’re in first place, the audience can place bets on who they think will win, and power-ups can be sent over Lightning to glitch the game.) View quoted note →
