Sometimes you just don't have time to polish things the way you wish you could by a deadline. Anyway, I wanted to follow up on #717596 for anyone curious, or especially for anyone that wants to do this as well tonight.

First off, here's the repo:

https://github.com/ttooccooll/snickerbar.me

Please feel free to use yourself!

As you'll see in the pics, I've added a link to an Alex Gladstein video and put in a little more hand-holding on the token. I've been passing them out all month and this current iteration seems to be working best.

IMPORTANT: the Mrs. and I are putting packaging tape on the back of the token's QR code. You will need to as well if you want to give away anything more than a single sat¹.

Without this, it's just too bended from the ink and cutting. Making a readable QR code for the token has been a great educational journey for me in general. There's a lot of info in those little cashus! Needless to say, it's errorCorrectionLevel: 'L' and now only five tokens to a page instead of ten.

What else is new

I'm not in as good of a financial position as I hoped, so I'm playing the music myself again. Not in any trouble, but let's just say that even if I didn't have multi-sig, the $5 wrench trick-or-treaters got bigger fish to fry. It's also going to rain here. All this also means I'm not dragging the organ out this year. I'm going to make some beats on the ipad and play some creepy DX-100. From the other room, I'll also play an old vinyl LP of spooky sounds.

Tunes for tonight:

Laura Palmer Theme a few of my creepy originals Toccata and Fugue in D minor Theme from Quest for Glory 4 Theme from Halloween some creepy improv

I'll also be playing this video and do some walking of my kids of course too. What's your plan for tonight? Stay safe and stack candy!

The future

My next goal is to rename this project breadcrumbs. It will no longer be Halloween themed and should be a way for you to leave cashus in random places to lead strangers to the orange pill all on their own.

I'm doing 21 sats per token, but you can fill them all out individually and even make each one a unique number of sats. ↩

Looking forward to hearing about the feedback you get from this endeavor.

I was able to disperse all the tokens. I'm going to start checking to see how many get claimed on Monday and will let you know then. The responses ranged from weird looks to disbelief (even when I clarified the current exchange rate of 21 sats) to actual excitement.

All the full sized candy bars went and I dug into the bag of reserves. My kids have been organizing their plunder for our second annual buy-back program. It's where my wife and I offer sats for any part of their stash they're willing to part from. It's mostly just to save their little teeth...

Buy back program is a great idea.

Did you get any trick or treaters out in the country?

Yes, we live in a town so we get some. Not so much in our area because we are more in a resort area by the golf course just on the edge of town but my parents get a lot of trick or treaters at their house. They live very close to a couple schools.

Laura Palmer theme? Twin Peaks?

It sounds KILLER on the DV-100 in that picture. I do it with just the synth but also have a few drum beats I made that I play it with.
