The last time they went to the moon, they built a civilization there.

Why not bounce a transaction off the moon instead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-Moon-Earth_communication

That would be a real demonstration of virtual BTC. Some guys managed to get the protocol going over a shortwave wireless signal. This would be like that.

-C.

Wow, didn't know about that. Is there, as far as you can imagine, a way to store a btc to the moon (i. e. using one crashed satellites, or laser or idk)?

I thought about that too, but don't know of a way yet, unless there is something left behind by one of the missions that can be accessed.

But that's just it -- The place the bitcoin is stored is in the blockchain. Even if you carved an address on the Moon the only place the actual bitcoin would reside would be IN the blockchain.

A true demo of Bitcoin would utilize its technology, not couch itself in outdated metaphors like physical presence.

-C.

But,  IF you could tansfer a wallett and a btc and hopefully the entire blockchain on an abandoned hard drive on moon, won't it be super -cool? And wonderful publicity. And a good backup, also. More than that, if coins are old u won'T need the entire blockchain

I will sponsor the purchase of one helium balloon with a string. You can print the paper wallet yourself.

So....how much? .01 mBTC?

A good balloon, depending on the max high and transportable weight, cost considerably more, and I would need at last 1 for backup. I would need also at least 1 gopro and 1 GPS.  
I am not looking for charity, and i've never done something like this. I have a very serious unrelated work who takes most of my time, but I can invest some energy in this project for the lulz and 'cos I fell a little hypomanic and love btc. I could had choose to invest my money, but i've lost considerable amount of money and time on btc during the last year, and i'm afraid my girlfriend won't like that, and even me think that spend a grand by myself to take a balloon to " space" for the lulz and bitcoin glory would be a little unresponsable.
So I was asking for sponsorship. But now the vast mayority of you think i'm a beggar, or a scammer.
I was out of the forum for some timè I forgot how much this community is fucked up.

Here's the idea: tie a bitcoin (paper or casascius) to a balloon and send it to space! Ok, actually not space, but very high

Looking for sponsors. Moon would be cooler but expensive...

Very interesting, you do  not only let us to see screen!

Bitcoin has already been in space for a while now.

This secret NSA sponsored space mission just returned to Earth. Apparently the cargo was a huge bunch of graphics cards bitcoin mining in zero gravity using solar energy.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29669205

Why you think they were mining BTC on their third flight?

Why you think would they do this? Is there any explanation, how zero gravity would impact on mining?

You do understand that getting 1g to zero gravity cost a lot of energy.

Mars would be even cooler than moon... at a cost of roughly 6 billion  usd , it would require the entire btc marketcap to be accomplished, but it would be a main advance for humanity...

Moon is for other crypto. We have probably reached that stage when btc price from practically few cents already hit 1000. We need to set higher standard probably Mars... what do you guys think
