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** :)

*<sub>[Go buy some beans for the bird](https://beans4bits.com/)</sub>*

If you want to buy her bird some beans, head over to [https://beans4bits.com/](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.

See the short video [here on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/256250634)

Follow Elaine on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/eiaine)

Wanna run your own? Tutorial and src code here on her [github](https://github.com/elaineo/Jellybean). You can set it up to sell anything really, cigarettes, condoms, beer ;)

Have a hack of your own? Tell me about it in the comments section!

**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.

![enigma.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQma7BfCXBsjscgzGzxioKJHhXYViEAy38yp4bB7sMesVbL/enigma.JPG)
*<sub>[Steam store](http://store.steampowered.com/app/768750/MonteCrypto_The_Bitcoin_Enigma/)</sub>*

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](https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-puzzle-games-growing-popularity/), 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!

Add the gamne to your basket or wishlist here on [Steam](http://store.steampowered.com/app/768750/MonteCrypto_The_Bitcoin_Enigma/)

Thanks [bitcoin.com](https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-puzzle-games-growing-popularity/) for the original story.
