Launch today got me thinking...

Gonna be interesting to do #bitcoin interplanetary. Low quality high latency networking puts a kink in the works.

Could you mine on the moon? 1.25 seconds from earth to the moon at the speed of light. Probably doable. Lower loss solar power (no atmosphere) can probably make that up.

Could you mine on Mars? 3 minutes lag best case scenario. Longer when orbits have earth and mars farther apart. That is going to lead to a lot of chain splits and orphan blocks.

Likely each planet runs it's own #bitcoin chain instead of dealing with the lag issues.
