Title: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: BADecker on September 28, 2019, 01:10:18 PM Even NASA is getting into Bitcoin... by a round-about path.
NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Space Agency Seeks Crypto Experience (http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/268957-2019-09-27-nasa-to-launch-bitcoin-to-the-moon-space-agency-seeks.htm) Quote from: https://news.bitcoin.com/nasa-to-launch-bitcoin-to-the-moon-space-agency-seeks-crypto-experience/ NASA seems to think so. The U.S. aeronautics agency is looking for a big data scientist and specifically mentions that experience with cryptocurrency and blockchain could help you get the job. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development facility located in California which was founded in 1936 and mainly focuses on developing robotic spacecraft for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The space agency is now looking for a new Data Scientist to join the JPL team and has a surprising point on the list of qualifications for the role. The wanted ad states: "Experience with cryptocurrency and Blockchain is considered a plus." There is no explanation given as to why experience with cryptocurrency is beneficial for the work at JPL but you can have fun speculating. Maybe NASA is looking for ways to develop a new economy for an independent Mars colony, launch an ICO to fund a moon base, or even find a way to trade with space aliens. It could also just be a way to signal to potential applicants that it is looking for people that really love to dive into deep technological and mathematical concepts. 8) Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon?

I mean seriously, it would be very nice if agency like NASA finds blockchain technology useful for them and starts promoting Bitcoin.

Post by: NathanJB on September 28, 2019, 01:31:43 PM And all this time, we laugh at those who are asking "when moon?" LOL. ;D
Telegram channels kick them as annoying. Admins ban them for asking such stupid question. Memes are harsh against them. And now, what? Bitcoin is indeed going to the moon, after all. ;D NASA, when moooooon? Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: Kakmakr on September 28, 2019, 01:37:09 PM Blockchain technology is very different to Bitcoin, when companies are talking about it, because they look at the underlying technology that they can utilize to secure data, because it is basically immutable. They might implement it in their Supply chain to track components and parts or to store data in a more secure manner.
It would be great if they used the Bitcoin token, but I seriously doubt that. ::) We might just see the first MarsCoin in the future, if NASA are looking at a payment system for the Mars colonization projects. ;) Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon?

Good load of thought process by whoever wrote the original article as we could possibly be entering a future where one or more of the above mentioned theories could actually be a reality. Imagine a mining farm on Venus which is powered by heat and the amount of sustainability it would offer. A quick thought about the space industry with emergence of private agencies like SpaceX also plays a pivotal role in making these happen. As for the job, it indeed is a great opportunity for a blockchain/crypto developer to work with the highest degree of sophistication at his/her disposal. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: zviadits on September 28, 2019, 03:41:37 PM It would be interesting to see what NASA will develop. I do not believe that the new crypto expert will do the future economy of Mars. Perhaps NASA plans to raise funds doing something like IEO. Waiting for an official report if NASA wants to talk about it
Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: BADecker on September 28, 2019, 03:47:41 PM Look at it this way. NASA has always wanted/needed public support for what they are doing. Yet a lot of what they are doing is not really meant for public scrutiny. That's part of the reason why they make or authorize some of the silly videos that are up here and there on the Net.
So, did we really go to the moon? Of course we did. But NASA doesn't/didn't want to show us all their top secret footage of going to the moon. They had to show us enough of it, because encryption wasn't developed enough for them to use it. So, if they use the Bitcoin blockchain, they will probably use it the same way OmniLayer.org uses it... to ride some of their stuff in sidechains, correlating the real with the fake blockchain to sidechain, using the Bitcoin encryption to keep it secure. 8) Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: Pab on September 28, 2019, 04:16:22 PM We are still on the Earth.Moon colonization is kind of utopia
Humanity has destroyed life on Earth and now escaping to the Moon. I will like to see more details about it.Maybe blockchain is about to help them with project but as for now it is only headlines to me Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: Shenzou on September 28, 2019, 04:23:53 PM I don't think that them hiring a crypto and a blockchain expert has anything to do with NASA thinking about using or implementing the cryptocurrency into their system, JPL is a research facility after all they might be just expanding their field and testing the water for the new technology that is blockchain that has the potential to change and improve many fields of our lives, including using it for spacecrafts and the space industry, as for cryptocurrency specifically i think it is too early for that but how knows we might see colonization on mars and when that happens the the cryptocurrency will be a viable option for them.

Though, I agree with you that NASA needs the public to be involved in funding but kept important details on whatever they have found in their expedition from them. We are still on the Earth.Moon colonization is kind of utopia Humanity has destroyed life on Earth and now escaping to the Moon. I will like to see more details about it.Maybe blockchain is about to help them with project but as for now it is only headlines to me Funny how Intelligent people thinks they can cultivate Moon to have a living atmosphere when we are struggling to revert earth's atmosphere to its optimum state. But Bitcoin wise, it is really cool to see Bitcoin banner on the actual moon not on some mini moon props. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: target on September 28, 2019, 04:26:46 PM Maybe NASA are just seeking someone who knew how to develop blockchain integration to their space projects, space exploration is a very expensive project, if they need accounting to it, they would need automation and blockchain could help them with it. But they mention "cryptocurrency", don't you think this is related to Elon Musk Spacechain?

Post by: micalith on September 28, 2019, 05:28:17 PM Well, we certainly will need a transaction system between planets because the cost of transfering paper money from Earth to other planets will be very high. Surely, this is for the far future but it will be. On the other hand, this system may be centralized. Human kind needs to evolve until we get a decentralized system for all. I hope we will evolve soon though.

I hope we will evolve soon though. As Pab stated that people in moon is a utopia (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5188333.msg52584672#msg52584672) so as decentralized monetary system is. With the presence of a governing body, a fully decentralized system will never be possible. Let alone government always wanted to get involved in every peoples pocket or by any change they can get profit in mediating/regulating transactions. Therefore, Trump will not ban Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Even before the end of his presidency, he had little left, so he would not do such harsh and stupid things. As for NASA, they need specialists in various fields, including to protect their digital information. Most of their technical workers are not directly related to space. Who knows, Trump's action is unpredictable, he can ban Bitcoin and let NASA adopt the technology within it. There are several talented programmer in their rank or NASA can hire one, cloning Bitcoin is an easy task for them less the mining activities of course since for sure they wanted it centralized. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: bitbunnny on September 28, 2019, 05:50:09 PM I think NASA would more be interested in blockchain technology than in Bitcoin itself. The fact that they are looking to hire cryptocurrencies experts doesn't necessary mean they will deal with Bitcoin itself although it's very possible. Anyway it's good promotion for cryptocurrencies in general that such respective angency is looking for experts on that field.

Post by: CLS63 on September 28, 2019, 08:30:25 PM It is evocatory to see that NASA indicates experience with cryptocurrency and Blockchain as a plus. Do they prefer to benefit from Blockchain technology from now on too or do they think of making their own cryptocurrency maybe ? :D
Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: fiulpro on September 28, 2019, 08:32:24 PM If actually NASA did that then it would mean the world to everyone who is right now fighting wars against the government for banning it .
Maybe they will change their mind or the news is fake but that if happened will push the mentality and it would be so amazing to have such a great company supporting Bitcoins..but we should understand that they need blockchain technology to actually get their softwares on track therefore I think it will be more or so blockchain ..not Bitcoin itself. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon?

Well, even though I have experience with cryptocurrency and Blockchain I'd rather stay on earth and be on the comfort of my home, I do not really suit in extreme weather condition on space in my opinion, but this kind of project makes me thrill in what can they really been up to.

Post by: batang_bitcoin on September 28, 2019, 10:27:42 PM Haha, NASA took it seriously and they really are going to bring bitcoin to the moon! As blockchain is use to attached to bitcoin most of the time but NASA I think is more serious about blockchain development. As the article said, we can all have fun and speculate about the real score of NASA.
Same thought that came to my mind, an ICO that will fund another exploration, space station and discovery. :D Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: BADecker on October 01, 2019, 02:23:08 PM Look at how many years it took to bring the blockchain into existence from the stuff that Alan Turing and his associates developed in WW2. It's pretty complex stuff. But now we are seeing that by combining blockchain ideas with the quantum computer and AI, that we are still in the very early stages of what might be accomplished with the blockchain.
Here is a simple application. In all computer programming in our standard computers, there are times when the use of the same characters in the programming is misinterpreted by certain parts of the program. The computer does things differently than what is expected of it. Even Windows 10 freezes the computer on occasion. Blockchain encryption of various aspects of programming will make sure the program is always read right, and the computer always does what is expected of it. Why? Because there will be no way for the computer to misapply an encrypted computer code. Normally this would mean complex operations in computers that would make the computer to be too slow to do things in a timely manner. But quantum computers are so extremely fast, that once they become efficient, they will be able to use the blockchain with no loss of speed... in a timely manner that other computers can't duplicate. We will eliminate programming errors with the blockchain. 8) Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon?

It could also just be a way to signal to potential applicants that it is looking for people that really love to dive into deep technological and mathematical concepts. Well this sounds like NASA might want to use blockchain. Unlike private entities, there is little reason for them to handle currency. Perhaps they are already planning a redundant and secure decentralized data base where you can add entries but not change the previous ones whatsoever (ie by corruption from cosmic radiation). You know, SpaceX's Elon Musk does know about crypto and Bitcoin, and he does want to set up a transport business for Mars. I think in that company lies a higher chance for coin use than in a State organization. He can also do "eccentric" things, like sending his own car to Mars (fly-by). He is the type that could send a Bitcoin node to the Moon if he wanted to, if only for the joke... But NASA? Hmm i don't think so, not a coin anyway. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon?

I know that when it comes to data of NASA, they can use blockchain technology but bitcoin is a currency which is meant to be spent r held as asset to appreciate, and I don't know how the use of bitcoin in the space can work because there is no habitant there.I mean seriously, it would be very nice if agency like NASA finds blockchain technology useful for them and starts promoting Bitcoin. When it comes to awareness of the public for cryptocurrency, how is it possible for them to create awareness with it, this news to me is really nothing that I think can actually have any much effect on the value of bitcoin or increase the adoption rate of the coin, but we can never say anyway, until something of such happen and we see it, maybe I will be convinced.

It could also just be a way to signal to potential applicants that it is looking for people that really love to dive into deep technological and mathematical concepts. I am wondering will there be anyone from this forum? Who will be this or a group of lucky champ/s? :-D I'd love to see someone (if there is one in this forum which is included) that is a member would explain on what will be their plans when it reaches onto the moon, this is a great milestone for Bitcoin because it also attracts other people and will make them know that BTC is indeed having a continuous uprise!

Post by: error08 on October 01, 2019, 05:02:02 PM Blockchain technology is very different to Bitcoin, when companies are talking about it, because they look at the underlying technology that they can utilize to secure data, because it is basically immutable. They might implement it in their Supply chain to track components and parts or to store data in a more secure manner. It would be great if they used the Bitcoin token, but I seriously doubt that. ::) We might just see the first MarsCoin in the future, if NASA are looking at a payment system for the Mars colonization projects. ;) Agreed, some people get misconceptions about this article. NASA's interested in blockchain technology doesn't mean they will promote Bitcoin. Just like what it stated; "The U.S. aeronautics agency is looking for a big data scientist" They are looking for someone or people who understand how blockchain works to join research and development facility Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the article clearly mention what will they do; the Data Scientist will develop applications for different areas of JPL including robotics, artificial intelligence, multi-mission systems, mission assurance, cloud computing,...... The thing about NASA to launch Bitcoin to the moon, creating a cryptocurrency for Mars payment, even create a colony on Mars are completely fun speculation. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: serjent05 on October 01, 2019, 05:05:55 PM I would love to see a rocket and a satellite with BIG Bitcoin logo :-P I am still trying to look at the correlation between NASA using blockchain as technology for the NASA and bitcoin as cryptocurrency. I know that when it comes to data of NASA, they can use blockchain technology but bitcoin is a currency which is meant to be spent r held as asset to appreciate, and I don't know how the use of bitcoin in the space can work because there is no habitant there.I mean seriously, it would be very nice if agency like NASA finds blockchain technology useful for them and starts promoting Bitcoin. Nasa wanted to grasp more ground in terms of fund source. I think they wanted to get the support of those Bitcoin whales to fund their upcoming project and one of the best method is involving Bitcoin into their project. They could just create their own cyrptocurrency if they just wanted to test things out. It is far easier to them since they have full control of everything and they have the capable people to handle it but as I say, more fund source is better. When it comes to awareness of the public for cryptocurrency, how is it possible for them to create awareness with it, this news to me is really nothing that I think can actually have any much effect on the value of bitcoin or increase the adoption rate of the coin, but we can never say anyway, until something of such happen and we see it, maybe I will be convinced. NASA is well known and any tech people will definitely know them and will handle what they stated with high regards, same thing with advertising Bitcoin in their plans. Just think of how many people had Bitcoin reached in these announcement of NASA? Definitely it is hundreds of millions or more. And possibly those who are half-hearted about Bitcoin will have a second thought since NASA is planning to utilize it. Title: Re: NASA to Launch Bitcoin to the Moon? Post by: Mpamaegbu on October 01, 2019, 06:24:46 PM Despite how I earnestly want to always read positive news and reviews about Bitcoin, l honestly don't know how launching Bitcoin in the moon will change anything. Let more awareness around Bitcoin be created here on planet earth first before we start going to space. We need more countries to adopt Bitcoin and not inanimate moon.

The job requires knowledge and experience with Deep Learning and Internet of Things. Experience with blockchains isn't required, just a plus. It's probably like the author speculated:

NASA might be building a permissioned blockchain for air traffic management (https://cointelegraph.com/news/nasa-publishes-proposal-for-air-traffic-management-blockchain-based-on-hyperledger), but I don't see why that would call for a data scientists. |
