jurov: but to shield
shorter
wavelength, you need smaller holes in it
ben_vulpes: anyways an entirely viable future is one wherein the various lords with computing gear remaining in the closet operate their own bitcoind variants as local banks, holding chits for the peasants and reconciling over
shortwave gpggram
pete_dushenski: well, we have some folks dropping by
shortly so ima make some
waves !
decimation: to the point that they can effectively jam
shortwave for miles
decimation: I find
shortwave to be more interesting
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 12:22:21; jurov: there's a nutjob apocalyptic-prepper
shortwave station, with 5-euro receivers widely available they seem to get some audience
decimation: and jurov is right, there are plenty of fairly successful
shortwave pirates, apparently because nobody gives a fuck

☟︎ decimation: back in the day, ham radio folks used to run something much like fidonet except completely over
shortwave/vhf radio
trinque: trilema and loper I expect to be able to get via hamsterwheel
shortwave gossipd someday
decimation: For something like
shortwave broadcast, this is what you would want
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 16:02:44; mircea_popescu: yes they understood that you can send communication over wires or over
waves. but they did not understand what they were doing was "sending communication" in these terms, or in
short they were speaking in prose but unaware of what prose is.

☟︎ ascii_field wonders if mircea_popescu is using 'clocks' thing to look for a nice voice to go on the #b-a
shortwave propaganda station
decimation: but I'm not sure how many people in eastern eu countries had
shortwave receivers
decimation: jurov: surely they received it on
shortwave decimation: my understanding is that latin jazz was inspired by
shortwave broadcasts of us jazz
decimation:
shortwave in the us is a desert of crazy
nubbins`: you pick up some bizarre things on
shortwave sometimes
decimation: in theory it could be used on
shortwave, if you had the hardware for it
mircea_popescu: anyway, it may be that the entanglement experiments come to fruition, and
shortwave as well as the current telco version of internet become obsolete at the same time.
decimation: PeterL: a 'standard'
shortwave channel is 4 kHz in width, through which you can push maybe a few kilobits/sec depending on what kind of scheme you are using
PeterL: how high of bandwidth could you transmit over
shortwave?
decimation: the problem is that the 'image' of
shortwave is AM broadcast, but nothing prevents advanced digital schemes
decimation: asciilifeform: "Germán Armando Plett’s knowledge was scraped together from the ‘Deutsche La Plata Zeitung’ (German La Plata Newspaper) and the nightly German radio broadcasts he was devoted to." <<
shortwave broadcast is dying, I guess because internet
mircea_popescu: decimation: 16 kHz is probably the max that you will get allocated politically << by the time blockchain over
shortwave, "politically" strictly means bitcoin-assets anyway.
decimation: I think what
shortwave would be better for would be a transaction network
decimation: at any rate, I'm not sure that
shortwave is really suited for blockchain broadcast unless one had a really big transmitter (and more importantly - government-allocated bandwidth)
decimation: most
shortwave broadcasters limit their DRM to 14 kHz
Overand: decimation: Also, I'm a ham radio operator, I've had plenty of conversations via
shortwave decimation: Overand:
shortwave is plenty reliable, depending on your expectations
Overand:
Shortwave's fine, but it's subject to a ton of ionospheric stuff.
kakobrekla: for that you need
shortwave, not optics.
decimation: most of the modems that are now in use on
shortwave are designed to turn the natural broadcast medium into a point-to-point link
decimation: asciilifeform: reminds me of the first Stierlitz episode where he receives the enciphered message on
shortwave bounce:
shortwave radio mailing lists? o_O?
decimation: X-Rob, that's pretty neat to have a freepbx dev here. There needs to be some method to move some of this onto
shortwave decimation: asciilifeform: FYI you can listen to that Morse code vaccuum pendulum clock on the remote
shortwave receiver I linked a few days ago.
decimation: I prefer to keep the lower frequency EM fields around my house pure, so I can receive
shortwave well
decimation: spam the
shortwave spectrum for a few megabits
DrSteveBrule: My apologies, I don't want to sound like one of those crazy people who just wants to come in a speak bullshit. My reasons for my current
short position are 1) Elliot
wave principle 2) I don't think the Chinese gov likes bitcoin 3) 4 million dollars worth of option puts bought on
http://mpex.co/ Diablo-D3:
shortwave is probably too high bandwidth for what we want
Diablo-D3: so what, just bouncing it off
shortwave using high gain antennas?
