(This npub only works in white noise!)

only got a few new coins listed this morning because i got debugging the photography machine. i was unhappy with the illumination of the coin surface on dark or dirty coins. i made a great discovery which is that my 12 volt power supply feeding the LED lights were both only actually receiving 6 volts. it's because i wired them in parallel. i upped the voltage ⚡⚡⚡ to 24 volts and now both LEDs are much brighter and there are no issues with darker coins. super happy with that, the LEDs do get very hot though, they're all rated at 12 volts so that's not the issue, i think it's because they are quite high watt LEDs and the fact it's so hot here in barcelona right now. anyway i bought some heat sinks which i'm gunna glue onto the lights to try and dissipate some of that heat.

lots of learnings. anyway, enough talk i'm gunna get a few more coins listed now - 10 isn't enough. i'm gunning down a new target of 3000 coins listed on plunda.co.

Hey @plunda I flagged https://plunda.co/asset/view/805 because it says Syria but that's Egyptian - it has to be, because:

  1. Syria withdrew from the United Arab Republic in 1961 after a coup
  2. ١٩٦٧ does mean 1967
  3. The only member in 1967 (ever since 1961) was... Egypt

nice spot! i need to setup a bountry reward thingy for users who find bad metadata. i'll assign your account a little voucher code for spotting this. do you own that coin? that's your account, right?

reply

That’s an excellent idea, my friend. You could add something—like a button to refute or respond to the original data on the site, similar to that little red banner you used for the drachma coin. That way, the input would go to the moderators or to you for approval.

reply

i love it, yes. I'll add it to my task list, might not happen for a while but I'll do this

reply

It starts mattering at scale. For now, we will just bother you in messages in the saloon, haha.

reply

Careful Plunda! opti is the dream killer!!! haha

reply

Preventor of nightmares™

If possible, add something like a small pop-up window to indicate the problem and the potential solution.

We should also include the data and the actual link for the coin here.

aight cool just assigned you a few lil vouchers

also you should see the metadata change card in the history page now too, thanks for the feedback

reply

Thank you! The metadata change showed up!

reply

Indeed, my friend.

@plunda, Could you fix the link to Numista? It's incorrect and doesn't lead anywhere; here is the right one.
https://en.numista.com/1818

reply

you should see these cards in your history pages now - the metadata has been updated and i've added numista IDs too.

at the moment metadata is quite incomplete for coins added before the new plunda HQ got setup, so i need to go and backfill all of them with numista IDs and fetch more complete metadata for them.

reply

FYI: The card does not show up in my history pages

ok started listing coins with the new light setup. IT'S OUTRAGOUS. the light spills over the coins like the light in an Edward Hopper painting.

looks at this one i just snapped:

had to dig out @BlokchainB 's old meme for this:

reply

😆🥰🥰

reply

@BlokchainB wanna gift you this one, send me a 1 gaming chip bid for it if ya want it

https://plunda.co/asset/view/2761

reply

it's freshly minted

reply

i accidentally sold it to @guerratotal 🤣
he sent me a bid on it and i thought it was you @BlokchainB

reply

I want them all...!!!!

Have them send me the offer and I'll send it right back...!!
That’s exactly why I did it—to see if they’d take it—and you fell for it...hahaha

reply

hahaha it's a great little trap you set. i wonder if an undo button would be a good idea

reply

You can really see the difference.

COIN GIVE-AWAY!

if you can find out what this coin is, you can have it! hint - it looks greek to me. try reverse google image search with some keywords

https://plunda.co/asset/view/2766

requirements - i need a link for the exact coin, it must be a numista.com link

reply

Sheesh lol looks like something mystical

reply
reply

close, but i need the exact coin
to win it you must give the numista link so i have the item ID, not just a search link.

note that drachmas are silver, this coin is bronze/copper

also you have the diameter and weight there which is really important info

reply

From what I saw, if they're mostly made of bronze, they're fakes.
I'm going to keep looking.

reply

try looking for lower denomination greek/alexander coins. it's probably that

reply
