Title: Bitcoin from 30,000 ft
Post by: Peter R on October 27, 2013, 08:46:59 PM
Did you guys know they have WiFi on some airplanes now?  I'm 6 miles above Idaho, and, just in case I'm making history:

1. Sent bitcoins to GF from 30,000 ft [check]
2. Played a roll at just-dice.com from 30,000 ft [check]
3. Documented experience at bitcointalk.org [check]

Cheers!

UPDATE:

4. Tried to move money from my bank account to cavirtex via EFT [failed].  

(I guess I have a weird IP address right now and it triggered a security alert at cavirtex.com)

You have to at least try mining on the plane

With USB miner, you are likely to be first using ASIC BTC miner in 30,000 ft

Darn, I should have brought the USB miner :). Mine a block at 30,000 ft: the new mile-high club!

(I've been on 5 flights this year and this is the first time I've ever had wifi.  All my fellow Canadians I was iMessaging with we're impressed at least!)

As we move closer to always-available Internet, the power of bitcoin grows.

You should have called this the mile high club, and suggested that others do it. lol

People wanting to join the mile high club could start an executive bitcoin revolution.
