Mars could easily be incorporated into an interplanetary network. You just delay all Martian blocks until they're confirmed.
Thanks!

Hm I guess I didn't consider that Mars can easily use BTC they just can't mine blocks there.
Heh I'm very confused by this.
How would nodes on Mars create the blocks in the first place?
By the time a node on Mars knows I want to send $100 to Bob a node on Earth has already rolled that transaction into a block and confirmed it into that different block. Blocks would constantly be rolled back as longer chains on Mars randomly popped into existence with a huge delay. The latency of the network and connections between nodes is super important. It's surely not viable or even necessary to run the same network in two places at once. Why would people on Mars need to transfer money to people on Earth to begin with? Remittances?
Heh I feel like you're trolling me which might be deserved.
