Yes. Have you heard about nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n satellite?

📡DYK: You can sync a full node offline & anonymously using data beamed down from Blockstream satellites in space via radio signals. 📡

What is a Blockstream Satellite Node:

A Blockstream Satellite Node broadcasts Bitcoin blockchain data via satellite, enhancing the Bitcoin network's accessibility, resilience and privacy. If you are crafty, this could be done for less than $100 fiat.

This is a great DIY project for cypherpunks. It is also a great project for using a cheap SDR.

It can also be a great way to introduce pre-coiners in your local ham radio club to bitcoin and why bitcoin nodes are important. There are a lot of very smart people in your local ham radio club that we can bring in to our side.

1. ⚡️⚡️ Satellite Transmission: Transmits Bitcoin data, reducing reliance on internet connections.

2. ⚡️⚡️ Global Access: Provides Bitcoin data access in regions with limited internet.

3. ⚡️⚡️ Network Resilience: Increases resistance to internet disruptions.

4. ⚡️⚡️ Privacy Benefits: By not relying on local ISPs, which might monitor internet traffic, satellite nodes enhance privacy and reduce surveillance risks.

5. ⚡️⚡️ Equipment Needed: Requires a satellite dish, USB satellite receiver, and a computer.

6. ⚡️⚡️ Lower Costs: Reduces bandwidth costs in areas with expensive internet.

This system promotes Bitcoin network decentralization and ensures privacy by enabling access and participation without traditional internet dependency.

I have concerns about that satellite(the NA) one. they lease space on it, and it'd almost if not at its life expectancy. then what?
