[ANN] HAM - HamRadioCoin - SHA 256 - Crypto on the radio! Official Thread

[crunck]

I am still looking for help with this, in building a team to carry it forward.

[IMZ]

I'm still here, crunck.

[crunck]

A bit of a surprise here to be honest, I thought there would be lots of help.

But never mind, I am working on several things that are almost complete

Though I am not working on this project any longer, I look forward to seeing the developments just the same. I'll be sure to let IMZ know as well but I am pretty sure he is watching this thread pretty closely.

Crunck do you  intend to make it so there are complimentary chains? The people have one, and you have one, a Little secret one. Trojanesque like?

Make sure people  don't  check their debug  files and spoil  the adventure.

Are you implying that crunck is building or distributing dirty wallets?

I bought some HAM coins about 6 months ago and I see that the price has dropped. Has there been much work getting HAM working on the new DMR and dStar radios? I am shopping for a digital handheld because a lot of our club members are getting them and we are talking about upgrading our repeater.

Hamradiocoin has changed hands development-wise, the guys that were formerly running it decided to opt-out over the New Year. The price indeed tanked not long after this and the Cryptsy announcement I'm afraid.

Not sure what the new devs have in mind for this project. I may still get around to finishing my kryptoradio implementation that I was working on, but I cannot justify the effort at this time if the original codebase might change at any time.

A NEW FIRST for HAM and the Cryptocurrency community. Crypto in Outer space. Via https://outernet.is/

Big Thanks to the Outernet project for their help making Crypto history 

A single HAM private key QR code in .png image format is being broadcast from Outer Space via Outernet, the file was recently uplinked by the teleport and bounced off of six different satellites. You can see all of the delivered files on the online version of the Librarian, the Outernet user interface:

https://librarian.outernet.is/en/files/Community%20Uploads/2016_02_09

The HAM private key has 100 HAM available to the first person to find import and move the HAM to their own private wallet.

Enjoy

Nice!!! This is indeed a cause for celebration.

Does this mean there is a chance you are coming out of "retirement"?

I never really left, just in the background lurking from time to time. Crunck is the Lead now.

Hopefully CCN will pick up the story as they said over a year ago in the original story.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/hamradiocoin-crypto-via-radio-alternative-blockchain-channel
It's been a long time coming and overdue but we did it.

HamRadioCoin is now the first Cryptocurrency being transmitted around the world via Satellite thanks to the Outernet guys!



We may reload the QR addy after someone figures out how to grab the first 100 Coins. It's really easy to import them
but I will leave it to the crypto community to figure it out..  

I know how, but I'm gonna leave it to see who discovers it. I will be watching the address to see when/if it goes.

wow really nice work, so ham is for the 60 percent of people worldwide who dont have access to internet and crypto for the rest 40 percent:-) ?  seariously theres lot of potential in this, time to get those 60 percent of the world into crypto.
did you ever considered to do a name change? as i thought this coin is about radio music etc.
keep up the good work guys.

Why change the name? It is perfectly fitting for it's purpose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio

I am more concerned about the changes the new dev may make to the network and how they will affect the overall consensus model. This is a debate not limited to HAM.

First 100 HAM sent via satellite have been claimed. Keep your eyes on this addy for additional coins to be sent into the matrix...

First person to move them to a private addy gets to keep them =)

Having chanced upon your post garmin, I proceeded to join the Space Race for the 100 HAM.

After locating the (not so) secret QR code on the outernet I downloaded the HAM Android wallet to try 'sweeping' the address.

Congratulations BitcoinFX and enjoy spending (or saving!) your HAM in good health! 

Also preserved this tx for future crypto history lesson.

siameze, bro I had to get you a award for being gracious and giving everyone a sporting chance at the hundred HAM.
yet another BCT legendary contributor =)

Thanks, hamradiocoin has been good to me already .... so I wanted to see some other new faces get to know about it in a fun way.

Also good to see you back in this thread, kinda feels like old times. I await to hear news from crunk and other devs.

[siameze]

HAM getting transmitted in Outer space on https://outernet.is/ and Crunck said he had some news about some new stuff too, should be good...

 

Looking forward to crunk's announcement then. Bring some excitement back to this space, ffs.

I know you are waiting to see if Crunck is gonna change the code at all but I sure would like to see him add a
few old school bitcoin guys to the dev team, it would be awesome, HAM has always been a proving ground for
alternate blockchain tech transport but since it's a altcoin it might be a tall order...

There was mention of making it a hybrid PoW/PoS coin which I think is a terrible idea. HAM is meant to be moved over vastly different channels than your average crypto and needs fewer moving parts, not more.

If it ain't broke, why fix it?

I like the Idea of using RF via SAT or other means to send small audio files or QR codes with DATA payloads.
We talked about this a while back in IRC. QR's can carry a decent size payload http://blog.qr4.nl/page/QR-Code-Data-Capacity.aspx
and still be only a small image file, same with audio, like audio data Chirp little a ways back in this thread.
Playing with the delivery system does not require and modifications to HAM the coin, Just how you use it. For that matter the blockchain could be sent via a never ending series of QR codes encrypted and decrypted on either end of the stream, same with audio...
or as BitcoinFX put it, an  "Infinite Improbability Drive"
 

...

BTW the Outernet guys have some great info about the project on their forums...

http://discuss.outernet.is/c/general-outernet-discussions

I started a small thread about the HAM Event also.

To Infinity and beyond LOL

I'm not fully acquainted yet with everything that the HAMradiocoin project has achieved.

Projects like the Free Network Foundation - https://thefnf.org/ - are of interest to me though.

- https://youtu.be/Fx93WJPCCGs?t=3m15s - Free the Network: Hackers Take Back the Web

Most issues related to Net Neutrality - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality

- can be overcome using Mesh Networking https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking

Being able to use decentralized free Radio / Mesh Networks for crypto-currency transactions truly facilitates the future of digital-cash for communities or wider society i.e. without corporate control and without banks.

In fact, everything here is (mostly) already technically feasible;

- http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoiners-finland-send-cryptocurrency-radio/

- http://kryptoradio.koodilehto.fi/

For the purpose of making transactions, one-way communications could already effectively be made two-way, as the receiver can send a one-way confirmation back - https://youtu.be/HRwiAk2wjZo

As garmin mentioned, something similar to Chirp - http://www.chirp.io/ - (although fully decentralized) could easily be implemented for converting / broadcasting QR codes as .wav files (encrypted with something similar to ZRTP).

Mesh networking was one of the things I had discussed with Garmin about bringing to HAM. I am not sure what happened to that part of the project, but there was a discussion forum amongst some Italian hams about for a while iirc.
