DONATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. Thanks to all!

The Staff of HamRadioCoin has just donated a total of $ 91.78 to amateur friend KP4MCR of Puerto Rico.
The total is the revenue from the conversion of HamRadioCoin donated for this cause and converted into higher price for single HAM sold at 8pm UTC on 4 September 2015 between our three main markets of exchange with Bitcoin.
In this case the price for single HAM was taken from Cryptsy.com to 0.00002400 BTC.

Warms my heart to see crypto communities pull together and help members out like this. o7 to all that contributed to this effort.

Having values and integrity is what sets your HAM community apart from others.

It's raining #HAM in the https://www.cryptopia.co.nz trollbox, come get some!




 

Been grabbing some HAM from their faucet also.

Another reason why SDR radio's are so cool

For those with enquiring minds, this is the tip of the iceberg.

This also shows the importance of using airgapped computers for sensitive keys, including cryptocurrency private keys. A similar attack was performed against a Trezor iirc.

The invisible world around us is amazing if you know where to look, or should I say listen

Aha! Yes I remember that one as well, fortunately it is a very sophisticated attack, but  we all know that with persistence many unknown attack vectors come to light.

Looks like HAM Dice is a hit, over 200,000 plays so far.

That wheel was my favorite, I spent every HAM i had there lol. If I ever clear some workload I'll hop ver and replenish some, I miss that game. 

irc service that I use was down over the weekend so I didn't make it over to see you guise yet, but coming soon! (tm)

I forgot to mention that I finally acquired a shortwave receiver, which I have wanted for some time. Any fun HAM hacks I can try on it?

If I ever pull myself out of this year's slumpI am still going for an SDR. I have tried multiple times to get an Android VM going to run hamdroid wallet but it just doesn't want to play nice with me. If any of you guys have a working QEMU image they can hook me up with it would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on what bands it receives, audio out jack from radio to audio in on pc on the right freq and u can run different sw to read the data tones, kinda like chirp in this thread.   I used to read txt msgs from local alpha pagers with cheapo police scanner... hehe

P.S. I have a few old droids laying around that will work on wifi if ya want one.

I may have to wind up going the spare droid route. Still hoping to find a good VM image though so I can tinker with the source some, you know me.

My radio has an AUX jack, but no audio out ironically, but I can easily fix that with $2.99 in parts.

You can run some small Linux distros on a rooted droid from a loop image, and vnc into the droid, even have one that ran a small desktop thu VNC or just use terminal hehe  I was using a droid as a BFG miner proxy for some cube miners a few years ago...

For most of my Arm-based projects nowadays I use Arch or Gentoo. I have a very old droid that runs 2.2 and it does this just fine: https://lrvick.net/blog/arch_linux_terminals_in_android/

Won't win any speed contests, mind you, but a handheld with all my "special" tools on it comes in so very handy for any field work when I don't want to lug my laptop around.

HAM Geo clients chart

I am a geek for metrics like this

It is interesting to see such a wide distribution globally, but not surprisiing considering that hams are worldwide. Most alternative currencies struggle to keep a userbase outside the normal anglo countries. Thanks for the info.

Also, received our message on the reunion. I have some business to take care of that week, but may be able to come up for one evening to meet you, Alex and Marlena, stay tuned.

A preview of things the HamRadioCoin team is working on.

We are looking to incorporate p2p and p2p mesh communications into the HamRadioCoin project.
The research and base testing phase is in progress.

What is a P2P Mesh?

If you would like to contribute to the HamRadioCoin Project
drop us a message on our forum link above.

 

I'll be idle in #hamradiocoin irc more often now, just ping me if there is anything I can do to assist.

Still no luck on the android test environment for me, but I won't give up. I am going to explore a few new avenues on that. My weird workflow

Big thanks to HAM community members promoting HamRadioCoin at global HamFest events..

If any community members will be attending a Hamfest in your area hit us up and we
will be glad to help you with any HAM promotional materials available.

Interesting thing I noted this morning, HAM has the global reach already that other cryptocoin communities dream about. So I have no doubt this meshnet project will be VERY interesting and could change the way we do some things.

I am actually honored you sought me out for this, seriously. My connection to #hamradiocoin has been spotty :/ Hopefully hashbang has their services fixed so I should autoconnect now.

Also
@garmin I need ANY info you had on the radio steganography part of things. I know you probably have better sources than I

[siameze]

Sent you a response to your last post via email. Is possible to broadcast these images on a less-restricted band?

Trying to fix some of the broken things on newer versions of linux. leveldb is the first/

That takes care of the missing file errors. I am plowing through this makefile, and will attempt to strip some of this mess out if I get a sane boost to build against.

Good news is I did perform a patch to transactions.cpp that seems to fix one of the main boost errors. Will post source when I get everything organized.

EDIT: DONE

Code:

curl -O https://transfer.sh/Um6Vh/boost-1-49-0.tar.gz

tar zxvf boost-1-49-0.tar.gz 

cd boost_1_49_0 

./bootstrap.sh

./b2

cd - 

cd src/leveldb

chmod 775 * -R

make clean

make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a

cd -

curl -O https://transfer.sh/nN6zA/ham-qt.pro

qmake ham-qt.pro

make

Temporary receipe that gives me a hamradiocoin-qt. I am dissecting the makefile.unix because I want headless

Those of you active with this hobby may find it interesting that you are able to contact, and speak with, the astronauts on the International Space Station. They often answer during downtime  between tasks and experiments

[siameze]

Nice job, Sorry for the delay, I will email in a day or so, we have been having may meetings since the European Founders are here in the US
discussing and planning the Upcoming expansion of HAM we have some very exciting unprecedented things on the horizon, we are in uncharted territory.. Very exciting things to com =)

Ha yes I figured you guys were having the International founders meeting!

I was excited to get back to work on it. Getting a lightweight and stable server that goes up quick on linux is my priority.

Forgot to mention above: This is the line I patched in src, where rpcrawtransaction2.cpp is the original code located here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hamradiocoin/HAM/master/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp

Code:

└─(05:29 $)─> diff rpcrawtransaction.cpp rpcrawtransaction2.cpp 
240c240
<                 const CScriptID& hash = boost::get<CScriptID>(address);
---
>                 const CScriptID& hash = boost::get<const CScriptID&>(address);

No problems thus far. I will post the qt-pro and makefile diffs later. Will probably post the cleaned code as a fork instead of submitting a pull request as there is still so much to be done.


UPDATE: Working hamradiocoind on Debian 8 and latest Ubuntu server. I am building a Gentoo and stripped-down makefile for it now. QMake is horribly bloated for development purposes, glad I don't need/use it.
