| rmg51 | Morning | 10:12 |
| JonathanD | Mornign. | 10:26 |
| kasted | good morning.. is that fog still out there? | 10:36 |
| JonathanD | Too dark to tell | 10:37 |
| kasted | is anyone here mining bitcoin or litecoin? | 11:26 |
| JonathanD | I'm not. Do you plan on doing so? | 11:26 |
| kasted | i was thinking of it.. just been reading up on somethings. I was looking into bitcoin but though i would try something a bit newer | 11:29 |
| kasted | thought* | 11:29 |
| JonathanD | it's impractical to mine with a regular computer, just FYI | 11:30 |
| JonathanD | maybe less so on litecoin, I'm not sure about that. | 11:30 |
| kasted | yea.. litecoing is less intensive... but still need dedicated gpus | 11:31 |
| kasted | well not a necessity but better to have | 11:32 |
| JonathanD | I think you pretty much do at this point. | 11:33 |
| JonathanD | at least if you do not wish to lose money. | 11:33 |
| JonathanD | kasted: it really depends on why you're getting into it. | 11:36 |
| kasted | that too | 11:36 |
| kasted | well for right now it is more of a curiosity. i am not willing to go spend extra money for equiptment and such but i if come across some gpus i will put them in a box and fire it up | 11:37 |
| JonathanD | kasted: You'll want to read up on pools, too. | 11:38 |
| JonathanD | If you just start mining on your own you'll get essentially nothing. | 11:38 |
| JonathanD | Mining on your own, on GPUs, is essentially a lottery, and with similar odds. | 11:38 |
| kasted | yea i read all that this morning | 11:39 |
| JonathanD | ok | 11:40 |
| JonathanD | crazy as it sounds, doge is the most profitable way of GPU mining presently :P | 11:40 |
| kasted | oh is that a pool? | 11:42 |
| kasted | or another "currensy" | 11:43 |
| JonathanD | heh | 11:45 |
| JonathanD | dogecoin | 11:45 |
| JonathanD | you can mine and convert to btc, it's essentially unusable at the moment, but it's easy to mine on CPU/GPU and hte conversion rate makes mining it and converting "faster" than mining btc direclty. | 11:46 |
| kasted | reading now... thanks | 11:48 |
| JonathanD | kasted: plus in the unlikely chance someone significant starts accepting doge, it could skyrocket :P | 11:49 |
| teddy-dbear | Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys, hamsters and everything else | 13:08 |
| ChinnoDog | hamsters? Where? | 13:30 |
| teddy-dbear | look in the mirror ;-) | 13:32 |
| teddy-dbear | your a new ham(ster) | 13:33 |
| ChinnoDog | :-p | 13:37 |
| jedijf | he's already gonna fix the whole repeater system | 13:37 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: did you hear me with toronto canada this morning on w3wan? | 13:38 |
| jedijf | 5:30 with justin | 13:38 |
| * jedijf can't wait for your nagoya to arrive | 13:39 | |
| ChinnoDog | I don't wake up that early. | 13:40 |
| ChinnoDog | I am monitoring w3wan and scanning other stations. I discovered yesterday my radio has 127 presets, not 25. 25 is just what Chirp defaults to. | 13:41 |
| jedijf | regular guys weren't around - may have been repeater issues with fog | 13:41 |
| ChinnoDog | I loaded all your philly stations into my presets. | 13:41 |
| ChinnoDog | I can't hear them of course. | 13:41 |
| jedijf | that was my original - i have changed - it seems it's ever evolving - especially changing alpha-numerics so you know personally the repeater or freq | 13:42 |
| jedijf | i have to redo all my radios | 13:42 |
| ChinnoDog | When you are done send me your master list so I can load it into my presets. | 13:43 |
| jedijf | sure | 13:43 |
| jedijf | i wish you could hit the havre de grace u of p repeater | 13:43 |
| ChinnoDog | Which one is that? | 13:43 |
| jedijf | 441.7 iirc | 13:43 |
| jedijf | 131.8 tone | 13:43 |
| ChinnoDog | the list you sent me lists 441.7 as W3WAN with 74.4 tone | 13:44 |
| jedijf | 444.15 hold on | 13:44 |
| jedijf | http://www.repeaterbook.com/repeaters/details.php?ID=147&state_id=24#sthash.4OSUuFz9.dpbs | 13:45 |
| KyleYankan | jedijf: Yeah, Havre de Grace is a stretch from ChinnoDog. 75 miles or so | 13:45 |
| jedijf | join repeaterbook and qrz.com so you can page up like myspace | 13:46 |
| jedijf | KyleYankan: you need gif'd up qrz page | 13:46 |
| KyleYankan | jedijf: Wrong millenia | 13:47 |
| KyleYankan | :-P | 13:47 |
| ChinnoDog | I already did join qrz. My call sign is not in their database yet. | 13:47 |
| KyleYankan | I do need to flesh it out though | 13:47 |
| ChinnoDog | I just discovered I can not dual monitor and scan at the same time. Sad. | 13:48 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: you dropped! http://qrz.com/db/KK4WIZ | 13:48 |
| KyleYankan | WIZ KID! :-) | 13:49 |
| jedijf | KyleYankan: did you hear our u of p qso this morning - paul in chester wants to play with pi and his repeater - you can help with this | 13:49 |
| jedijf | he has 2 repeaters currently - a 440 and a 220 | 13:50 |
| KyleYankan | jedijf: nah, I was busy trying to fix my phone most of the morning | 13:50 |
| jedijf | who needs phones | 13:50 |
| KyleYankan | but I'm in. Anything I can do to help | 13:50 |
| jedijf | KyleYankan: did you close? | 13:51 |
| KyleYankan | jedijf: nope. | 13:51 |
| jedijf | whens next go round | 13:51 |
| KyleYankan | thursday, if the underwriters can confirm everything today. | 13:51 |
| KyleYankan | It's taken them over a week to confirm one small deposit. | 13:51 |
| jedijf | cool; good luck | 13:51 |
| KyleYankan | we keep playing the "one more thing" game. | 13:51 |
| KyleYankan | Sorry to vent. Thanks :-) | 13:52 |
| jedijf | do the write the letter routine? | 13:52 |
| jedijf | i told you | 13:52 |
| jedijf | they see/question everything.... | 13:52 |
| KyleYankan | letters, receipts, paystub, etc They even talked to the cashier who cashed the check. | 13:52 |
| jedijf | like you're selling dope and and depositting cash | 13:53 |
| KyleYankan | there might even be one in here, reading this. O_O | 13:53 |
| jedijf | don't deposit the dope $ KyleYankan | 13:53 |
| KyleYankan | QRZ needs a "friends" feature | 13:54 |
| jedijf | they have it, it's called 'contacts' | 13:55 |
| jedijf | geez - this generation | 13:55 |
| jedijf | i should log a contact with kk4wiz and put IRC | 13:55 |
| ChinnoDog | I can't hit that repeater so moot until I ressolve. | 13:57 |
| jedijf | i'll search irlp eventually and pop into a repeater you can hit and we'll qso | 13:58 |
| jedijf | or allstar even | 13:58 |
| ChinnoDog | I programmed the national simplex frequencies into my radio. Does anyone ever use those? | 13:59 |
| jedijf | haha good ham - also progran another, so if you do make a contact you can move to another off of the national | 13:59 |
| waltman | mmm, ham | 13:59 |
| ChinnoDog | I don't think I need to do that. On 2m I will just add or subtract 15khz | 14:00 |
| ChinnoDog | I forget if I can move up or down on 70cm | 14:00 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: apparently old days, begore repeaters and repeater book, when you went to a new area, you would call and if heard they would hook you up with info | 14:00 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: you can | 14:00 |
| KyleYankan | Calling Freqs are still used in some areas. It's kind of hit or miss though. Good for unknown areas / travelling | 14:01 |
| KyleYankan | some folks monitor it for emergencies | 14:01 |
| KyleYankan | Kinda like CB channel 9 | 14:01 |
| jedijf | also, if mobile and another ham sees your antenna they may flash 5 fingers then 2 to tell you to simplex to chat | 14:01 |
| ChinnoDog | What does 5 + 2 mean? | 14:02 |
| ChinnoDog | I mean, what does that stand for exactly? | 14:02 |
| jedijf | what are the national simplex frequencies? | 14:02 |
| ChinnoDog | oh. 146.52 | 14:02 |
| jedijf | see | 14:02 |
| * jedijf learned that friday | 14:03 | |
| jedijf | i sent them to freq one though - middle one | 14:03 |
| ChinnoDog | .51? | 14:04 |
| jedijf | f u | 14:04 |
| ChinnoDog | ?? | 14:04 |
| KyleYankan | ,.|.. | 14:04 |
| jedijf | shot them the finger back | 14:04 |
| ChinnoDog | oh. lol | 14:04 |
| ChinnoDog | You mean you did that before you knew what 5+2 meant? | 14:05 |
| jedijf | just kidding...but friday i learned about 52 - i asked the same question you did | 14:06 |
| jedijf | friday on n3kz they let me play noob hour and ask questions and then they answered | 14:06 |
| jedijf | amateurs are a real helpful bunch, at least the n3kz guys - loan each other radios, help with antennas - cool folk | 14:07 |
| jedijf | w3wan folk too - we have a little email thing going on about linux and radio | 14:08 |
| jedijf | setting them up for fosscon attendance | 14:08 |
| KyleYankan | i need to move the 911 project off to a BBB or another machine today | 14:12 |
| ChinnoDog | There are a lot of clubs around here. I need more intel on them before I select one. Is evesdropping on the nets the best way? | 14:17 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: that's a start - but visiting is best - nets are kinda lame - | 14:21 |
| jedijf | w3wan has a breakfast this saturday somewhere - fire house iirc - next to old time diner - one day i'm gonna fieldtrip - me and sal nc3u want to go down | 14:22 |
| jedijf | tim (one of the core 13) and jerry kb3oil usually attend | 14:22 |
| ChinnoDog | I don't want any meetings in assisted living. | 14:22 |
| jedijf | it is what it is - they are good people - got to take what you can get | 14:23 |
| jedijf | sanford kb3kva uses a pi and a dvap and his ht id31 to dstar at home | 14:24 |
| jedijf | they're progressive and old | 14:24 |
| KyleYankan | thats not a bad idea | 14:25 |
| KyleYankan | like a personal repeater that adds functionality | 14:25 |
| ChinnoDog | My radio is crying "low voltage" lol | 14:25 |
| jedijf | that's annoying | 14:25 |
| ChinnoDog | Like every 5 seconds. How am I supposed to use it while it is yelling at me like that? | 14:25 |
| jedijf | she doesn't shut up | 14:25 |
| KyleYankan | i turned voice off | 14:25 |
| ChinnoDog | Every 5 minutes would be enough, not every 5 seconds | 14:25 |
| ChinnoDog | How do you do that?? | 14:25 |
| jedijf | you think it would stop when you transmit - she doesn't | 14:26 |
| * ChinnoDog looks at manual | 14:26 | |
| KyleYankan | ChinnoDog: menu option 14 | 14:26 |
| jedijf | they tell me that's better than the $300 ht's that just STOP | 14:26 |
| ChinnoDog | Now it beeps instead of saying "low voltage" | 14:28 |
| KyleYankan | my old fire department HT's did that. PITA. | 14:28 |
| ChinnoDog | stopping would be better jedijf | 14:28 |
| ChinnoDog | Then I could use my entire battery before the radio becomes unusable | 14:29 |
| jedijf | oh, the batterys are pretty good too - get a decent amount of time | 14:30 |
| ChinnoDog | It is charging now. I've had the radio on most of the day since Mon morning so that isn't bad. | 14:32 |
| lazypower | Morning everyone | 14:39 |
| ChinnoDog | morning | 14:58 |
| JonathanD | I was thinking I could go for a salad... | 15:53 |
| JonathanD | checking out saladworks, which is nearby. | 15:53 |
| JonathanD | THen I noticed the <marquee> tag on their site :P | 15:53 |
| JonathanD | Not sure if I can trust them now | 15:53 |
| KyleYankan | JonathanD: http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm | 15:57 |
| JonathanD | That looks fine to me. | 15:57 |
| JonathanD | brilliant design. | 15:58 |
