Title: Not even a Class C Asteroid could wipe out Bitcoin Post by: Bitcoinpro on April 09, 2016, 11:16:48 PM aslong as a few full nodes where on some satellites moving around in the Solar system

As long as there remains a single copy of the blockchain + software somewhere, it's easy to bootstrap the network again. Confirmation times between the last node going down and the first one coming up again would be awful, though ;DTitle: Re: Not even a Class C Asteroid could wipe out Bitcoin Post by: Bitcoinpro on April 09, 2016, 11:29:44 PM Aren't we going to have to wait a few aeons for amoebas to develop a desire for hard currency?

Let's make Mars currency bitcoin.

Confirmation times between the last node going down and the first one coming up again would be awful, though ;DRemember the Voyager "Golden Record"? Burn a copy of the blockchain + software and launch it to deep space. Or better yet, convince NASA it would be a good idea to put nodes on all the various planetary probes going up.

Has it to do something with java classes? They often make some real trouble. Are there any bigger classes??? Sorry, I'm a newbie to Asteroids. Title: Re: Not even a Class C Asteroid could wipe out Bitcoin Post by: Lauda on April 10, 2016, 08:25:51 AM What is a class C Asteroid? Do you even know what an asteroid is? I don't think that you do, else you wouldn't be mentioning any kind of 'java classes'. Class C is just a classification of asteroids; there are many other types. Class C is among the common variant (~75% of known asteroids).Has it to do something with java classes? They often make some real trouble.

The Bitcoin network does not care about that, does it?If we get nodes on satellite, we can trade bitcoins with aliens or on Mars. Let's make Mars currency bitcoin.
