Title: Mining on another planet. Possible? Post by: letcore on October 27, 2013, 10:15:06 PM As far as I understand you could spend a Bitcoin on Mars. The light travel time means it could take up to 30 minutes to get the first confirmation, so that's not a massive problem.
But what about having miners on Mars, perhaps to speed up confirmation times for colonists. How would the protocol fair when say a block is found on Mars and it could take nearly half an hour for it to arrive on earth? Title: Re: Mining on another planet. Possible? Post by: gollum on October 27, 2013, 10:44:10 PM How would the protocol fair when say a block is found on Mars and it could take nearly half an hour for it to arrive on earth? The protocol must be adjusted for the lag in time between nodes at planet A and B so they can have a chance to sync with each other.each block will need to be at least lag_time * 2 = 1 hour for all nodes to accept the blockchain Title: Re: Mining on another planet.

Post by: GigaWave on October 28, 2013, 03:21:53 PM If we can get a fast enough connection between another planet and Earth, it could be possible. Speed of light is the "fastest internet connection" you are going to get. Which leaves you with a transmit time of between 3 and 22 minutes, depending on the orbit. Title: Re: Mining on another planet. Possible? Post by: Foxpup on October 29, 2013, 03:14:07 AM Mining Bitcoin on Mars is totally infeasible, as almost all blocks mined on Mars will be orphaned by the time they reach Earth. I have talked about a solution before:
Each planet will have its own locally-mined cryptocurrency (Marscoin, etc), which each have a floating exchange rate to the original Earth-based Bitcoin. Marscoins and bitcoins can be directly traded for each other in order to settle interplanetary trade balances, the only issue is the speed-of-light delay for confirmations (which is unavoidable no matter what). Naturally Bitcoin can't be mined on Mars and Marscoin can't be mined on Earth, but that's not important. An interplanetary coin with a block target of several Earth days (to allow interplanetary mining) is also a possibility for interplanetary trade or as a solar-system-wide reserve currency, but probably not necessary as long as the planetary coins can be freely traded, in which case it's likely that Bitcoin will become the solar-system-wide reserve currency (making all previous price predictions seem hopelessly pessimistic).

I cearainly don't know everything that is to know about quantum mechanics, but I've studied quantum mechanics and quantum field theory for more than 1.5 years now. The problem is: you can enforce a particle that is in a superposition of 2 states to bee in one of the 2 states over great distances, but you don't get to choose which of the states it gets into. When your communication partner measures the particles, he can't distinguish between particles that were forced into one state by his measurement, and particles that were in a pure state before. So no communication with quantum entanglement Title: Re: Mining on another planet. Possible?

This could get interesting when miners start hopping planets to take advantage of hashrate and price discrepencies. Title: Re: Mining on another planet. Possible? Post by: dree12 on October 29, 2013, 11:18:11 PM By the time humans settle Mars, the block reward would have decreased significantly and will no longer be an important factor of mining. The solution, consequently, is simple: add a "second genesis block" to Bitcoin. These blocks are identical to regular blocks, except they employ a different hashing algorithm (to prevent Earth-miners from overtaking the Mars chain), and primarily deal with transactions broadcast to Mars. Interplanetary transactions will certainly take a while, as the Mars blocks will need to be broadcast to Earth, but are seamlessly integrated into the system. Transactions limited to a single planet work as expected.
Every time a new planet is settled, new genesis blocks can be created, one for each planet. Title: Re: Mining on another planet. Possible?

You can't tell whether two particles were entangled without knowing the state of both of them. And you can't know the state of a distant particle without measuring it and transmitting the results of that measurement across that distance, which can't be done faster than the speed of light.Title: Re: Mining on another planet.
