The ULTIMATE $BTC Ticker — Macintosh SE/30 edition

My Macintosh SE/30 now has a new job: displaying Bitcoin prices and network stats on its little monochrome screen.

It’s running System 7.1 with just 4 MB of RAM. I put together a native 68k application called BlockMiner, written in C and compiled with Retro68.

The setup uses a BlueSCSI V2 with a Pico 2 W for storage and Wi-Fi networking, through DaynaPORT emulation and MacTCP. A small proxy running on a modern Mac fetches the data over HTTPS and serves a simple response the SE/30 can handle.

The app displays BTC/USD, the 24-hour change, block height, mempool size, transaction count and recommended fees. There’s also a full-screen mode with a big price display, and automatic updates every minute.

It’s a read-only monitor—the SE/30 gets to enjoy a peaceful retirement watching the numbers.

Getting the networking working took some troubleshooting, but it’s finally running on the actual hardware!

Pretty happy with how well Bitcoin fits into 512 × 342 pixels. 🖥️₿

SS Race exhaust doubt/problem. Help!

Hi all! I recently installed a Supersprint race exhaust it looks beautiful, but I have a couple of doubts and issues.

First, does the mid-pipe support have to look like that? I just picked the car up from the mechanic and noticed it looks like this, it’s not supposed to be like that, right?

And the other problem is the drone, how can I avoid it? Especially between 2-3k RPM, it’s really annoying.
