In Europe they wouldn’t give morphine to my 99 year old grandmother because she could become addicted. No wonder North American cities look the way they do!

Weekend project complete: A Pi4 running a full archival node, open to incoming connections over Tor, showing node, block and mempool statistics on an e-ink display. It refreshes whenever a new block has been found.
