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).

Geostationary orbit of the satellites would require a fairly fancy dish mount to keep lock on same point in sky. That’s out of my league but not unusual for boat satellite folks.
