From Geohashing
Welcome to the Geohashing Community! --Fippe (talk) 14:37, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Fippe, thanks for the welcome! I have now done a few expeditions and posted the reports. I'm wondering one thing: Who pays for this? I don't pay anything (I think), and I haven't seen any advertisements. OK, the software is free, but this has to run on some hardware. Who pays for it? --Wingman (talk) 07:21, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Dan Q hosts the website and, as far as I know, selflessly pays for the costs entirely out of his own pocket. Here is his blogpost about resurrecting the website after the Dark Ages. Before the Dark Ages, Geohashing inventor Randall Munroe hosted the website. --Fippe (talk) 13:29, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! It's impressive what has been (and is being) created here. --Wingman (talk) 13:51, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Globalhash
Hi again. Tomorrow there is a Globalhash in Spain, 2021-08-19 global. It is closer to Valencia than to Madrid, but since Globalhashes are so extremely rare, you might want to know. --Fippe (talk) 16:03, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
