Anyone interested in learning more about #blockstream satellite?

The free service allows you to download all bitcoin data without internet & without your isp knowing you run a bitcoin node. You are on your own for transmitting your 250 byte transaction though. Consider postcards or using an SMS bitcoin relay service.

Minor trust issue with getting all your bitcoin data from a single source, so a sanity check is required before considering a payment to you as finalized (besides waiting 6 or so confirmations).

I’ve sent a transaction over it for testing. I have a gotenna mounted on my roof with some modifications to give it 20 mi+ range. But gotenna blows. Proprietary platform.

That’s the only one I’ve used. On Android.

Gotenna is dead though. There was a guy named Richard Meyers who had some kick ass ideas for a mesh network incentivized by bitcoin payments…not sure what happened to him…

Do you need to buy a gotenna? They’re not for sale anymore.
