Global Bitcoin promotional Video.  A Bitcoin Documentary on the Bicoin Global scene and the Launch of the first Bitcoin flag into space.  launching the bitcoin flag into Space. Yes, First Bitcoin Flag into SPACE. We want to cover the essence of the Bitcoin community and expand on the future of Bitcoin. Promote and  share  the greatness of bitcoin community and its superior currency solution. Please donate bitcoin to the project here 1HNNi6EPCxRsHUpGESZXoFr9qpWqiLeY8L

If you do donate you can request to put any image you desire on the Craft that takes bitcoin flag into space: Logos ,Pictures you name it We will put it into SPACE

Email all images to be placed on craft to [email protected] include your email address in donation

Limited space on Craft So donate Now

Launch will take place in April 2014 or later depending on weather

 

The launch into space will be recorded in High definition and craft will have 4 cameras mounted on it. Two of which will record the hull as it reaches space.

More info Here: http://www.bitcoinsniper.com/contact-us/about-us/bitcoin-space-race/

Want to be apart of the project let me know. Have some good ideas Let me know

What will the launch vehicle be?

The plan is to have more than one wether balloon. One to ascend and the second to descend. We want  maximum time in the stratosphere and want 100% control throughout the entire mission so we will have controlled thrusters . This mission will  a lot of fun but more importantly will thrust bitcoin further into greatness and main stream attention
Forgive me for doubting the ability of someone who can't spell "weather" to send a balloon to the edge of space.

Even ignoring that fact, advertising this as sending something to "space" shows a lack of understanding at best, dishonesty at worst.

Finally, even if this did happen, it would get about as much attention as any one of the hundreds of other weather balloons that have been launched with a gopro attached, which is just short of none at all.


I beg to differ, anything with the name bitcoin in it will get attention atm, especially something like this. It's kinda of a bummer that it's not going to space though.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, weather balloons can only go to the 'edge of space' as its sometimes called. As far as I know, they are not capable of putting anything in orbit, so any flag attached to a weather balloon would reach the edge of space and then just fall back down to earth again. To put a bitcoin flag into orbit would require an actual rocket of sorts.



Yes , It is technically space were we are headed on this mission. We plan on buying our own satellites for the next mission and piggy backing off another company that is launching their satilght. It is cheaper to launch several satellites at once. Our Next mission will be titled “Bitcoin first independent satellite in space”. Its function will be to broadcast the block chain without any internet connection 100% self-reliant bitcoin network

Wow you certainly are ambitious sir. Will be watching this thread.

We are also working in that direction . Why not have two. Two is always better than one. Just in case one SAT goes down. The global Bitcoin community will have a fail safe

Just curious, how much do I have to pay to launch a logo in space? Have you figured out the details re the video feed?

Satellite video data connection is the only one that seems the most viable but we are still testing some cellular data connections. Don’t be surprised to see several live video channels live one launch day. We are leaning on having several live video sources and if one fails at certain altitude then we can switch to alternative channels

So the rocket in the main post is actually a weather balloon?
You should post a more detailed explanation , with some technical details in one posts , so people know what to expect.

I have explained in detail along this entire thread

You could get a ton of Amateur Radio operators around the world interested in Bitcoin if you were to put an APRS beacon on the balloon. You will need to get an amateur radio license to legally transmit the beacon.

I'm curious what you will be using to transmit the live video data from the balloon? A cellular data connection will not work after ~5000 feet for a variety of reasons. I'm pretty sure your only two options would be to use a satellite data connection (which would be very expensive for live video), or broadcasting the video with an Amateur Radio ATV transmitting setup (again, which you would need a ham radio license for).

If you have any questions, shoot me a PM.

So is this mission funded, or can I still get my name on the flag?

We still need funding . We have two out of the six cameras needed for the mission
