badon: I can't connect to CC and CC forum and LBC and kiwi. Don't know why...

I can open other websites..

Jeruuu: Looking.

Jeruuu: Everything looks OK, can you try Tor next?

badon: same in TOR

All 3 sites?

Well, 4 sites if you count KiwiIRC.

badon: can't open CC in Google Chrome too :(

Jeruuu: Did you try rebooting?

OK, LBC is OK in TOR. But CC won't open in full

Yes, I just rebooted my pc

Hmm, it might be an ISP issue.

I'll try CC, one moment.

LBC won't open in GC too..

my ISP?

But how is other websites ok

Your ISP might have a routing issue, where they're sending your digital communications into a black hole.

CC works for me too.

Actually, it's most likely a DNS issue. What Windows version do you have?

7

Jeruuu: OK, one moment.

Do you know how to get to the "Troubleshoot problems" dialog?

You should be able to right click on the connection icon somewhere.

Jeruuu: This might help: https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+7+googl...

of my wifi connection?

IDK how to fix it.

Basically, you just change the settings from using your ISP's DNS, to using Google's DNS. DNS is the service that converts website addresses to IP numbers.

I mean it is fix because I can access all other sites, right?

Jeruuu: You can watch the videos there.

DNS is one kind of problem that might result in issues on only a few sites.

Videos where?

In the Google search URL I gave you.

I don't see any google search url

Hmm, but that doesn't explain why Tor won't work.

maybe if I just stop now will it resume tomorrow?

I'm not sure what's wrong on your end. Can you call your ISP for support?

I better check our site's DNS too, that could be the reason.

Haha been trying to contact them since the other day, no one is answering

OH well

One moment.

this is a bit frustrating.. guess I'll just stop for an hour or two. maybe they will all go back to normal then

Jeruuu: Which site works for you?

china mint, ebay, ngc, pcgs, stacks, barcode decoder, hid me, extv

...

eztv

gmail, clash of clans, clash royale, line, group me, facebook..

Hmm, if KiwiIRC isn't working, that means it isn't a problem with our sites.

I'm betting it's your ISP. I have bad ISP's too, so I use 2 of them. Then I can switch if I have problems with one ofthem.

I mean, which our OUR sites work for you.

LBC in Tor?

yeah just LBC in TOR

KiwiIRC.com doesn't load for you in Tor?

The chat won't work, but you should be able to at least load kiwiirc.com.

yes it won't load

kiwiirc is down!

So, we can rule out that one.

Jeruuu: isup.me is a handy thing for finding out if a site is really down.

Can't think of anything else to do.

i'll stop

already did

maybe later they will be ok again

Yes, they just loaded for me right now.

Jeruuu: Maybe there is a big outage on the internet.

The fact kiwiirc.com was unreachable makes me think something bad happened.

Yeah maybe

Russians trying to tap a cable at the bottom of the ocean again, haha.

OK

Ugh. LBC and CC forum is already working like 10 mins ago and then not again

It works now?

Not working again

Jeruuu: I'm going to try Tor Browser.

Jeruuu: PM me.

Jeruuu: I'm testing Tor Browser right now. This works: https://forum.coincompendium.com/

Jeruuu: CC works: https://www.coincompendium.com/w/index.php/Main...

not for me I think

LBC works.

You tried restarting Tor Browser? Does it give you an error message?

OK it is for me too

in FF too

I'll get to all later, after ice cream

I see you're online at the LBC forum.

OK, enjoy :)

I need ice cream

Me too, I'm going out right now :)

Yum! I want coconut.

bbl

question if anyone knows; the tubing used in vending machines, etc that coins role though. what is it called?

hi nug700|2

hello

nug700|2: I have no idea. I'm betting it doesn't have a dictionary name. It probably only has a jargon name, that can vary by the manufacturer. They probably just give it names like "Part25 version 3".

"transfer pipe"

Sounds good :)

except that usually brings up results for storage tubes :P

Are you looking for replacement parts?

looking to build a coin sorter

Oh boy, from scratch?

That's not a trivial problem.

Good quality coin sorters are pretty complex, and quite expensive.

The reason why is because they're designed to deal with a variety of weights, sizes, thicknesses, etc.

Taking into account things like wear, dirt, etc just explodes the complexity.

well it's only sorting pennies

Looking for copper ones?

yea

It might be cheaper to buy one. I seem to remember seeing them on ebay and Amazon.

How many are you trying to sort?

a lot

I did the math on it in the past, and I couldn't come up with an economical way to do it, even if I did it all by hand and didn't buy any hardware for it.

well I bought a CC-16D coin sorter, which can sort like 300 per minute.

the wireing is pretty simple.

By weight?

300 coins per minute

"CC", eh?

Well, if you already have one, why not use that?

that thing

Ah, so you already know what I'm talking about.

I can get a hopper for 130 dollars.

I just need to figure out how to transfer the pennies into the sorter

You know, there's probably some genius out there that figured out how to do it with a pool noodle and a rubber band.

I could possibly do it out of card board

Are you in the USA, I'm assuming?

yea

Do you know if there are still enough of them in circulation to make it worthwhile? There are a lot people who have probably sucked them out.

there's like 1/5 still

That's a fair number.

wheat pennies are like 1/200

not bad.

Will the banks exchange your coins without having them rolled? Last I heard they wouldn't accept them unless they're pre-counted and rolled, which means you would need an automatic coin roller too.

hm don't they have machines that can count them unrolled?

No, not at most banks.

They're expensive, and they don't want to help you make money at their expense.

They used to have them in the 1960's, but after the debasement away from silver 1965, they stopped bothering with it.

hm where can I find coin wrappers?

They sell them at office supply stores.

hm interesting
