I wonder if anybody would find interesting to set up the longest bitcoin end to end communication system relying just on mirrors, lights, telescopes... and so.
I think it would be interesting for instance to propagate bitcoins across an entire city with each end connected to the internet but without any internet connection in between.
One could have a telescope focusing on a window of a flat miles away and transmit the bitcoins with pulses of lights in such a chain. Do you get the idea?
It would be fun to see how many miles one could cover this way. Just using mirrors technology and light pulses communication.

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

The forum strives to allow free discussion of any ideas. All policies are built around this principle. This doesn't mean you can post garbage, though: posts should actually contain ideas, and these ideas should be argued reasonably.

You could "download" the entire blockchain via carrier pigeon.
Something similar was done by putting a USB drive on a pigeon's foot and sending him over a few hundred miles.
They calculated the data rate and it was a pretty competitive speed.

There was a post about this sort of thing very recently where there was an article that had a guy who worked on the mining algorithm using a pen and paper. http://www.righto.com/2014/09/mining-bitcoin-with-pencil-and-paper.htmlIn theory, you could do it with anything that can make a signal, but it would take a hell of a long time and be incredibly inefficient, this is why computers were invented in the first place. |

I'm not saying you wouldn't use computers. I'm just saying you would not use the internet for the communication in between these nodes. |

I would like to see a Bitcoin miner powered by sharks they would network with laser beams.  |
Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

We could probably revive the Pony Express if we really wanted to, and train dolphins for sending Bitcoin across oceans.
