[Above tweet now deleted] | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <gmaxwell> Eliel: If you can raise about a grand a month I'd be glad to run a satellite blockchain feed that can be recieved by fairly inexpensive hardware. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <Eliel> gmaxwell: getting the blockchain isn't enough, they'd also need a way to get the transactions out. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <Eliel> although, this satellite thing reminds me of http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16367042 | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <gmaxwell> Eliel: getting the chain prevents anyone from being victimized by double spends at least. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <gmaxwell> Eliel: the DOS part.. well, yes, but e.g. if they're without power they can't use it either— you don't expect me to fix that? | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <gmaxwell> You can get out via a two way satellite terminal if you have one, though they're not super cheap to just have laying around. :) | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120103 <Eliel> I expect most bitcoin devices will be battery powered. | |
#bitcoin @20120114 <coingenuity> in all seriousness, i will launch a satellite for you bitcoin | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 * jgarzik seriously wonders if he could do a cubesat bond | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <sipa> cubesat? | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <gmaxwell> [[Cubesat]] | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <gmaxwell> aw this channel doesn't have the wikipedia link deref bot. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <gmaxwell> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <gmaxwell> jgarzik: it ought to have an asic miner in it of course. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <gmaxwell> and bitcoin txn relaying. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <jgarzik> hehehe, I was thinking more along the lines of a boring comm sat, maybe with a camera or two | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <jgarzik> cheap off the shelf parts, space-wise, means stuff too weak to run bitcoin software | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <jgarzik> 100 Mhz processors, 128 MB RAM, etc. | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <gmaxwell> jgarzik: pshaw. thats not ambitious, a bitcoin relay would be ambitious, plus camera of course. It would have shade of "some crazy dictatorship blocks the internet, fuck you, bitcoin users launch satellite" :P (so people there can exchange coins using the computers and radios they don't have, :( ) | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <jgarzik> hehehe, true | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <jgarzik> but since I really am spec'ing out a cubesat project, I have to be realistic ;p | |
#bitcoin-dev @20120912 <jgarzik> was only joking about the bitcoin funding part | |
