Title: Now imagine if your postal carrier had Bitcoin running on a phone with Dash7 Post by: MoonShadow on December 21, 2010, 12:14:05 AM http://ohmygov.com/blogs/general_news/archive/2010/12/19/fresh-ideas-for-the-postal-service.aspx
Devices that never touch the Internet directly would rarely be more out of date than one day. Just fine for the average Joe who gets paid on Friday so that he can pay his bills by check on Monday.

Get ready to have your packet inspected. Title: Re: Now imagine if your postal carrier had Bitcoin running on a phone with Dash7 Post by: hugolp on December 21, 2010, 02:30:21 PM I took a look at dash7 and it looks great for what it wants to do.
That said, I think its too low-bandwith for bitcoin. Also, is supposed to be extremely low consumption devices (devices that can run on a simple battery for years) so its not intended for heavy load (and heavy load in microcontrollers is different from heavy load in computers). I am not sure dash7 is for bitcoin. As a matter of fact I believe its not.

Even blocks under the right conditions.

FreeMoney, imagine the reality the way you want it to be rather than you don't want it to be. The thinker creates the outcome. Stay focussed on the positives. The challange is to imagine good things happening. If you find it hard then the next thing to do sometimes is to put aside the logic of how and just believe. Obviously though, that's when it goes from practical to practically religious, lol :p |
