Bitcoin satellite?

[chocolah29]

This is very cool.
Having a bitcoin satelite is another milestone for the community.
Making a transaction without internet is a big help to us. Like many places in the world are not yet reach of internet and internet is the mainstream why many others are not adopting this so if we can have the satelite many will adopt and use this and the price will influence by the massive adoption.

Awesome project! the objective was great.

While looking on group's Blockstream Developers, engineers and members, I could simple say, they we're able to execute the project smoothly.

Good.  And again, who is blockstream and the reason for this selfless help?

btw, great way to capture entire BTC traffic    cough   NSA cough

Blockstream is a company that employs several Bitcoin Core developers?

Also what are you even talking about? All Bitcoin transactions are recorded in the blockchain. What will the NSA "capture" exactly? Everything is already public.

Did I just see someone comment that people will be able to make transactions without internet? That sounds kinda crazy. What do you mean? How can you send Bitcoin to someone that leaves a far distance without the use of internet. I don’t think that’s really possible.

Bitcoin is literally getting closer to the moon.

This is like a crypto anarchist wet dream, bitcoin resilience as increased a lot with this project, more like this will become a reality, this is how we build an indestructible network.

how can we catch the "Bitcoin Sputnik" signal ?

ps-> maybe a nickname like "tesla black knight satellite" would be more funny ...

The origin of the Black Knight legend is often "retrospectively dated" back to natural extraterrestrial repeating sources supposedly heard during the 1899 radio experiments of Nikola Tesla

This is good news. Bitcoin technology increasingly sophisticated and increasingly enjoyed by people. Maybe this is a smart innovation transact bitcoin without internet connection. I think this kind of technology needs to be developed and multiplied throughout the world. Making it easier for bitcoin transactions

Very profitable for people who play bitcointalk hopefully aja who play bitcointalk can not be counted from year to year.

This sounds great, but have a thing I still do not understand. That is, if there is no internet, how can we make transactions and how to link accounts on the trading floor. This makes me doubt this information. Is it real or just PR? But if that is true then surely the btc community will be very happy, so that btc is hardly forbidden  or die ...

This seems to be great news. But I say this with caution because I cannot fully comprehend, how transactions can be processed without Internet.

[Palmier]

At the very beginning I was skeptical about that, but know that I put in perspective that it means anyone in the World could use Bitcoin even without an Internet connection, that is simply awesome. And just imagine the news coverage we would get...

[kuyaJ]

It is more good because they can have the possibility that the bitcoin will be our future coin in the world of history.

again and again..
stop and try to elaborate a good question about this awesome project!!
"oh good! bitcoin over satellite! Could be damn good!!! But how to broadcast my transaction to bitcoin blockchain??? Satelite connection are just one way! I Can just receive data!"
