If that business isn't here in 300 years can we sue? and what about laminating the paper and locking it in a (large) safe? wouldn't that last longer then digital data that is susceptible to EMI? what about sending it out to space as radio-waves and once we can travel faster than light, go ahead of it and record. Or just wait here and re-record it in 47 years when it bounces off that... *whatever* sending our signals back.... http://www.rimmell.com/bbc/news.htm

Yep. Earthlings now have a near-foolproof way to send messages to their planet 47 years into the future. Great for "boomerang backups", leaving behind informational time capsules, or just confusing the heck out of your descendents with fake news broadcasts. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Just to clarify this is a seriously joking thread.... I'm very curious as to What happens if there is mass solar flare that wipes out the data of every computer? Who cares about the banks(hehe) right? What about Meh Bitcoinz!? So we should find some ways to back it up (that are practical) in the event this happens. Keep on throwing out crazy idears!

But if you think about it, anything that bad would be the end of civilization. Bitcoins, dollars, gold,... anything but food will be useless. Let's make a GMO llama with the blockchain in his DNA! And, can we name him Satoshi? Please!

I meant why would civilization end if only eletronic/magnetic affected devices were destroyed? But your statement doesn't seem accurate either. A faraday cage appears to work based on conductive material. From your wikipedia link: In modern cleanroom packaging outer layers of static-dissipative polyester and polyethylene are wrapped around an inner layer of aluminum to create Faraday cages to protect static sensitive components such as PC Boards that travel long distances between manufacture and assembly.[3] A booster bag (shopping bag lined with aluminum foil) acts as a Faraday cage. It is often used by shoplifters to steal RFID-tagged items Some linemen wear Faraday suits, which allow them to work on live, high voltage power lines without risk of electrocution. The suit prevents electrical current from flowing through the body, and has no theoretical voltage limit. Linemen have successfully worked even the highest voltage (Kazakhstan's Ekibastuz–Kokshetau line 1150 kV) lines safely.

AFAIK there would only be an affect on electronic/magnetic sensitive devices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare#HazardsI was assuming that atomic EMPs wipe out most of the worlds electronics. That would likely destroy the Internet for at least years, maybe forever. I guess in the example of a solar flare it would just be an interruption though. And @molecular.. Damn! I did mean alpaca! Or most correctly an Alblocka.

I could be wrong but i was under the impression a farday cage only works when completly sealed so the guy working on electrical wire sounds pluaseable however you must power the computer backups which must break out of the cage to run an electrical power to computer wallet backups. As intense emi can follow the power lines.

A Faraday cage or screen works by becoming the conductor of least resistance and spreading the charge around the cage/screen. The reason someone working with high tension wires needs one is because the voltage is so high that the air absorbs some of the charge, and a person contacting it would find themselves turned into a large current sink. It would be unhealthy because the parts of the body that aren't on contact with the high tension wire would instead be in contact with the air, and the current flowing through the body from the wire to the air would be uncomfortable, at best. The Faraday cage/screen (in this example, a wire mesh suit) acts as a large antenna, conducting the residual and capacitive charges safely into the air bypassing the body because the suit is a better conductor of electricity. A standard cage works in much the same way; it must be connected to a ground plane so that it can draw off any charges that are emitted by external influences. This is all in the context of high voltage charges, but radio and electromagnetic charges can be taken care of by a similar arrangement - however, the ground plane requirement is eliminated because the screen acts as a reflector, not a conductor.
