Your welcome

I am having a few issues with the wheel game at present but am working on fixing it, but in the mean time the dice game is up and running.

Thanks

I mentioned here a mate of mine who works as a radio tech (and he owns Bitcoin, held in IndiaMikeZulu's vaults). Well, surprise surprise, he's a long long time ham-radio operator (and another Bitcoiner has turned up where they work). So, after Noooo Year is out of the way, I will get him to announce himself . . .

wait . . .

here he is: "Secretary - VK6AXB - Anthony Benbow"

Sorry guy's I can't support HAM on cryptsy any more. Some may want to trade on cryptsy but if we cant withdrawal I must inform our supporters that withdraws are not working any longer. 48 hours for a simple withdrawal is not an exchange I can support. Sorry for the bad news. Happy new years all..

Thus the need to wean the coin away from centralized exchanges and build around p2p trade models. 

Had some great talks with our bitwizards. Sat project isn't dead.

It's sad bro, we were so excited to get listed on cryptsy, but I just cant support our users being used as an exit coin for cryptsy. I have to let our supporters know, even if it hurts, hams don't rip off hams, sorry guys..

UNO is actually pushing this hard, not realizing how these things work. Fleeting popularity tends to do that folks though.

Did anyone claim the outernet HAM yet? That actually gave me a great idea on how to make this work despite lighthouse data restrictions.

Hello, I am only now and I can not support everything. The project HAM is a bad time now. (Alex)

Yes I got word from Garmin that he is no longer going to support the coin. I don't have a lot of contacts in the community so I am afraid I will have to put my HAM projects on the back burner too. My wot obligations are too many for me to carry it on my own. :/

I too have just got an email from Jimmy saying that both he and Alex will not be continuing to support the coin because of real life things, and of coarse real life things should come first.

The email ends with "Anyone wanting to do a takeover should speak up now."

There must be a few of you here that can do that, this coin is far to good to let die, and I am willing to help in any way I can to support the new takeover team, but I would suggest moving fast before some newbie walks in and decides to have a go !

Time to stand up and be counted people!

I am also happy to take temp custody of this coin whilst a new team is put in place, as I would hate to see a takeover go wrong.
Cheers

I joined up to do development work on linux and small hamradiocoind servers. I am simply too busy with other development obligations to take over the entire coin development alone. If there are any competent takers for this offer that continue community development they are welcome to contact me and I will try to assist.

I wish the community the best of luck moving forward. Kind of a sad day for me but I wish both Garmin and Alex the best of luck moving forward.

Looking at this project. Interested in knowing if there are any plans for it at this time other than abadonning it. I have a dev on my team that is willing to look at working with it. His first concern is the diff though. Also, we were Looking at the possibility of cross support with a new coinwe are developing that also supports dual algo. Just thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone is interestd or even responds. Thanks.

First off it wont end up being abandoned that is for sure, I am talking to both the dev's at length at the moment, and I will make sure they see what you have proposed

Thanks for throwing it out there

This sounds very interesting, Garmin had discussed adding merged mining at one time. Multi algo would be nice too however.

I agree that this coin won't be totally abandoned I am just a little bummed right now that Alex and Garmin have decided to give up so suddenly. My attempts to talk him out of it failed.

[RewU]

I am willing to assist this project/take it over if the other devs are stepping down.

I would ask to have the respect and time it takes to work on this project and to get to know the old developers and the community.

I am a general class so ham is in me

I have made a mesh-net appropriate forum (censoring etc) which I would like serious hamradio licensed and unlicensed personelle and coders to pm me and get access to so we can mesh together a forum on cryptocurrencies over multiple mesh-nets. and discusss the finer details of the project over the airwaves so someone may stumble upon it

Don't be sorry! IMHO, leading the community from a shonky exchange is the right decision. (Sooner the better, indeed . . . )

Future of community: I'm not a community member yet (trading a little). The tech background of ham-radio folk makes HAM a coin that could do well in the long run. The international dimension of the community ditto. It's also not a time in krypto history to leave a coin: alts should start lifting in price as the 'organic' lift in Btc price continues.

Whatever, I will hang out here just to see how it all pans out.

P2P? IndiaMikeZulu loves to P2P. PM me.

I am in agreeable, ? am sorry if it appears it isn't in agreeable. However, I am still here to work on the coin if others are no longer working on it.

IMZ: I'm going to send you a pm, maybe we can work on ideas with how we can help.

 I have updated p2pool for HAM and im waiting to just build on my super low computer HAM itself then download the blockchain to be sure it is.



I have code available that can be coded to make hamradio coin a multialgo merged coin with scrypt and sha256d but I think we should consider rebasing it to the latestest bitcoin core so we can easily update.
I agree the ham community is one that woulddo a lot and could learn a lot from cryptos. My only question (any some other extra.expert class guys here could answer me this) is it legal to be sending coins over the air waves? I Am wondering because i can't ememver which rule it is says you can't do it for profit, but i would wonder if it would fall under selling equipment on air that can be done on occassion?




this coin can be a bit more "tchy"than bitcoin has to be, but it should be easy enough as many hammys are aging and are stuck in their resisters and capacitors age. But some are with the times.


We can talk more on the meshnet frorum i created if you want (pm me for info) so we can get more people able to read it. I am encouraging anyone trading this coin to get a license ($15) and a $35 handheld walkie, a $50 investment to see what you are supporting (or dumping).

Again, please pm me if you wish to talk more, otherwise i will just start rebasing the code tomorrow to latest bitcoin release to be in line. There's more im doing but i would rather have a mediun besides bitcointalk where coding discussion can occur before announcement if I'm truly gathering together a group to get this done

PM me for p2pool code as im not 100% its correct but I knnow clark will run it once it is verified

[IMZ]

I'm here. I'm reading.

Is it legal to send money over the airwaves? Hmmm . . . gotta think about that -- but the Fimkrypto guys have been doing it for ages.

HamRadioCoin Announcement

From the original Dev Team:

As you may have gathered from a few of the posts above this one, we have after much discussion and deliberation made the decision to step aside and hand over our coin "HamRadioCoin" to a new team that will continue our work and take the coin forward.

There will no doubt be debate as to our reasons for leaving so we would like to place it on record that the coin is stable and running well, and the only reason is that we both feel our life away from the world of crypto has suffered due to the amount of time given to running the coin and also the financial input we have both made to the coin has also limited us doing things we would have liked away from crypto.
In short we have happily sacrificed various parts of our life for this coin, but are now at a stage where a break is needed.

After speaking to several people we have decided to hand everything over to Crunck who has set out a plan to not only continue, but to grow the HamRadioCoin and brand.

The plan led by Crunck will be to create a tight unit of key people that will handle the running and improvement of the coin, we will supply Crunck with login details and accounts associated with the coin and he will take over all the financial burdens in running things such as the website, and nodes etc.

He will also have sole control over the dev funds and a new dev funds account has been set up under the address of

15EpzWUTod1h5Yf7dnnVz8UigwmRLmq34X  https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ham/address.dws?15EpzWUTod1h5Yf7dnnVz8UigwmRLmq34X.htm

A total of 1 million HAM will be deposited as follows, within a few days of turnover 250K HAM initial deposit and then 100k HAM every month until the 1 million coin total has been reached. This will help provide additional security for the HAM community as opposed to turning over all the development coins at once.

The dev fund will be used to help support and develop HamRadioCoin and not for financial gain of any single individual but to benefit the HAM community as a whole.

We have also outlined what was in the pipeline for HamRadioCoin, what was discussed and what wasn't so he is totally up to date with what the plans for this coin are.

Regards

The original HAM team
