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

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...

Cool

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... Wink

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? Wink

I agree with that statement but alas left as it is at present it will fail.. we need some new input and ideas.....

I was involved with HAM/HRC development with the original dev team and am still interested in participating.

IMHO pure PoW is a dead end.

Also, PoS doesn't really add much complexity. There are many examples of successful PoW => PoW/PoS transitions.

Before I met the HAM guys, I was designing CB Radio Coin which had emphasis on minimizing the traffic amount with ideas such as using UDP instead of TCP, etc; see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=744825.0
