RE: Breaking Video: Is Blockstream Planning To Put Bitcoin Nodes Into Space? ビットコインは宇宙に入るのだろうか?

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

Hi @stellabelle, I have just seen your post and... it looks like they haven't put any node on space. They are just broadcasting the transfers from nodes running at ground. They have rented some bandwidth on commercial communication satellites, they send the information to the satellite and it is repeated from there, but those satellites are pasive, they are not running anything, they usually just take a signal, amplify it and redirect it again to ground.
Jeff Garzik had a project (BitSat) to actually launch a constellation of satellites running full nodes, but I have heard no news about it in the last year.
