What miserable life you have in USA. Sounds like notes of a crazy psychiatrist tripping on mushrooms.. And no Internet.. I think Zimbabwean are happier nation than Americans right now..
Boris, that nobody has a clue what the dumb toff is saying, shit really does rise to the top doesn't it.
In the 90's I had a realtime datafeed from DBC (is now Esignal) by satellite. Was very fast and reliable. Only problem was that in winter I had to keep the head that was mounted on the satellite dish free of snow. Datafeed never dropped out. I used a professional satellite dish (size 160cm) made of some kind of polyester fibers. Dish was not really cheap, don't remember the exact price anymore. Price for datafeed was $185 a month.
Nanosatellite revolution has been going on for some time now. ======================================= https://arstechnica.com/features/20...tems-booting-up-where-no-one-has-gone-before/ Back in 2013, bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik posted a humble idea to the Bitcoin Talk Forum: what about building some bitcoin resiliency in space? "I was researching how to sort of make the bitcoin network even more resilient,” Garzik says. “And I had an amateur space background—my father took me to Space Shuttle launches; he worked at the White Sands Missile Range." Garzik saw two potential paths: the first, according to him, was to rent a bandwidth on an existing satellite and use it to broadcast the blockchain data. "But from the blockchain community standpoint, there were too many single points of failure, there was a significant shutdown risk,” he admits. This second path, however, was to tap into the nanosatellite revolution going on. Garzik envisaged putting a ring of micro satellites on Earth’s orbit, and those satellites could be connected via an inter satellite link that would store and broadcast the blockchain data. "I called that the SpaceChain," says Garzik. “The SpaceChain was designed as a self-healing mesh network of multiple satellites that could route around hardware and spacecraft failures. We were looking at a sort of cloud computing model, many plus cheap, where you could make up for failures with software." Garzik’s idea was quickly forged into the SpaceChain foundation, and the SpaceChain foundation quickly got busy developing the SpaceChain OS, which was to run on all of those satellites.
