If you love fortune cookies and Bitcoin, this is for you.

Start your morning with a fresh fortune about Bitcoin, randomly picked from a curated collection of interesting quotes, facts, email excerpts, and relics of the past.

Make sure that you have the fortune and cowsay packages installed.

$ sudo apt-get install fortune-mod cowsay

$ brew install fortune cowsay

$ git clone https://github.com/onyb/bitcoin-fortunes
$ cd bitcoin-fortunes
$ fortune . | cowsay -e "BB" 

Note: It's a good idea to do git pull on your local repo from time to time, in order to keep your fortunes collection up-to-date.

Depending on the shell you use, add the following at the end of your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file.

fortune <repo path> | cowsay -e "BB"

Pull requests adding new fortunes are most welcome, as long as they are relevant and interesting.

Please add your contributions directly to the bitcoin file. After merging each PR, I'll manually rebuild the fortune database (bitcoin.dat), and push to the repo myself, in order to prevent shipping spam / unsafe content.
