Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Congratulations to NASA and the human species.
Just a matter of time until a bitcoin miner is also up there, I'm sure.
A few years, max. Great job, NASA, I'm really proud, seriously, but that's enough robots on mars, let's get some people up there. |

Heh, maybe a node, but not likely a miner with current bitcoin protocol and our understanding of physics. That rover landed 14 minutes before we got word because of that whole speed of light issue. |

Which does raise an interesting question: How will the network handle 10+minute lightspeed delays? Will someone on Mars just have to wait a little longer for confirmation? |

I assume each planet will have their own network. Marscoin, Jupitercoin, etc. |

Yeah, it's fine to just wait if you aren't mining. If you mine then nearly every time you find a block people back on Earth will be building on a different block already, often already on to the next one after that. |

I assume each planet will have their own network. Marscoin, Jupitercoin, etc. Ha, yeah. Curiosity and Odyssey can trade with each other. i think Curiosity will need to buy bandwidth. Oh a two player bitcoin system is pointless though. One will have more hashing power than the other so they ought just keep a regular ledger since they must be trusted. |

This is awesome. Surprised there is no fund yet to send the first bitcoiner to mars.

Will they trek to the trees on the polar region or to the various pyramids?

For Bitcoin to be a true global currency the value of BTC needs always to rise. If BTC became the global currency & money supply = 100 Trillion then ⊅1.00 BTC = $4,761,904.76. P2Pool Server List | How To's and Guides Mega List | 1 EndfedSryGUZK9sPrdvxHntYzv2EBexGA |

Only a concern until instantaneous communication is made possible via quantum entanglement. |
