Aren't we going to have to wait a few aeons for amoebas to develop a desire for hard currency? I think said satellites will be dust by then.

Bitcoin is not wiped out just because the last node is shut down. 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 Grin

Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own blockchain. With blackjack and hookers! In fact forget the blockchain.

If we get nodes on satellite, we can trade bitcoins with aliens or on Mars. Let's make Mars currency bitcoin.

It might wipe out a whole lot of private keys (and their owners) though.

Remember 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.

What is a class C Asteroid?
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.

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).

Sorry, I'm a newbie to Asteroids.

The Bitcoin network does not care about that, does it?

This attempt at trolling has failed.
