I think internet is not a very big problem because nowadays internet is everywhere.But this is also true that without internet it is not possible to transfer bitcoin.There are many places in world,where internet is a very big problem but after see peoples interest in Bitcoin,many companies is researching to made software for easily transfer Bitcoin without any internet connection in future.And according to me,that day is not too far,when we can see that Bitcoin is being transferred without internet.

If mesh network can be used for sending or receiving bitcoins, then how can we connect to the mesh network ?
Connecting the mesh network to the other's network will need internet too, right ? But if it really can be happened, it will be great for us.

YES! Bitcoin can be sent Offline! there's many ways of doing this actually!
First of all you need to generate the transaction offline on your QT, then you can Either;
1: put the transaction on a USB and mail it (it's slow but it works) once your friend gets the USB he can plug it in and brodcast it...to the internet tho.
2: CB radio! this really cool

however, all "receivers" needs internet at one point for the transaction to broadcast to the network.
i guess if you use option #2 and set up a hub in a city where you have internet, you could shoot all transactions to that hub and have them verified from there (automatically)
i think option #2 would probably be best for you and "small villages" but it requires some work.

I'm from Nigeria and as you all know, Nigeria is a developing country and when it comes to internet connections we're not there yet. I live in the city area but travelled to my village few days ago for an occasions. On the way, I got a call from a friend requesting to buy $550 worth of bitcoin, I tried sending the coins to his wallet (he's a regular buying so I already have his wallet) but the transaction refused to go through because their was no internet connection. When I finally got to my village the transaction went successfully because we had internet.
After this experience I thought about other remote villages in Nigeria and African countries that don't have the Internet 24hours if they were to use Bitcoin (cryptocurrency in general) for day to day transaction can this be done without the internet?
I tried searching the web but couldn't find any post that gives me a satisfying answer, so decided to contact forum user.
Edited: 04|10|2018 Can anyone verify this information, how accurate is it?.
The writer went forward to explain, 'The mesh network works for every 4miles until it gets to the nearest access to the internet. That's to say you can send bitcoin through the mesh network from one mesh to another within 4miles until you get the nearest access to the internet".
Bitcoin is digital currency and its only using on online-based, not your local currency.So without an internet connection, you cannot do anything. Now Bitcoin is using all over the world but it's not international currency like USD or euro so if you want to use bitcoin and send one to another person must be needed internet connection After this experience I thought about other remote villages in Nigeria and African countries that don't have the Internet 24hours if they were to use Bitcoin (cryptocurrency in general) for day to day transaction can this be done without the internet?

Good timing on posting this question now. Some recent advancements have just been made in this area. The latest version of Bitcoin Core has implemented 'Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions', or PSBT for short. It will effectively enable users to send transactions while offline in some circumstances.
Also just saw a post on facebook sayingThe writer went forward to explain, 'The mesh network works for every 4miles until it gets to the nearest access to the internet. That's to say you can send bitcoin through the mesh network from one mesh to another within 4miles until you get the nearest access to the internet".

Frankly speaking we cant do what you did without Internet. There are many countries in the world which are still lacking in having a good stable Internet. Its one of the weaknesses in cryptocurrencies being used as real medium.

Based on the caption on that image means it still can be sent without internet because it's need the internet to execute the transaction.
So i think, we cannot do transaction without the internet
October 07, 2018, 11:40:26 AM
No internet, we have nothing, so the transaction is confirmed need a network of Node. No internet, no Node
The internet is a network for us to interact with each other, without the internet we will not get any information, and without the internet, there will be no blockchain or bitcoin names.

I think this is not possible.In order to access BTC internet is required.I don't this without internet or electricity using and cryptocurrency is possible.In future anything can happen but according to me doing this will not be possible at any cost.If doing this will become possible that i think it will make our work easy because in the absence of internet one can do any transaction.
October 06, 2018, 10:34:24 PM
So far I can not transfer bitcoin without internet.As all the exchange platform and the wallet needs internet to do the operation.I think it is not possible to do transaction without the help of internet.
October 07, 2018, 09:26:59 AM
Well, as far i know, bitcoin transaction required internet to be processed. If there is a way to send or receive bitcoin without internet,
then it will be great because you don't need to afraid in the location where internet network coverage cannot reached.

I think you can only trade with bitcoins offline with the medium of physical coins which has bitcoins stored in them. Such use is much rare so i think that it could not be implemented that. Infact using bitcoins offline is not thay carried forward untill now and i think that bitcoins are only a currency that mist be used online.

For now I don't think bitcoin sending and receiving can be done without the internet as the blockchain is a new technology that has no physical value and no bitcoin bank yet even the blockchain that is the digital bank only exist on the internet so at that the internet is the life wire of bitcoin and the blockchain entirely.

I don't think that it would be possible,
How could the system verify it if it wouldn't go through the internet?

I think, for while, you will not be able to send, receive and trade bitcoin without the internet. internet is a very important aspect in the crypto world.
but I heard that cointext makes gadgets that have services to transact without internet. cointext uses the sms protocol. and today is being tested in several countries such as in England, Sweden, Netherlands, and others.
maybe you can try using that gadget.

Where in the world do you have SMS but no internet?
Africa has basically ignored landlines and gone straight to mobile telephony including internet. If you can SMS then 3 or 4G should be available to you as well. In many areas they have better coverage than supposedly first world areas.
yeah i agree to this in fact africa because of government restriction and banning on bitcoins people trade their through wattsapp using smartphones, and with regards to offline payment yes its possible using paper wallet, but overall its internet to make paper wallet and broadcasting of transactions.

Internet is a wireless connection of computers, I think it can be sent in a local network wireless or wired even it is sent web based it can be sent just like any other sharing method, it is digital which can be shared with/without data.
October 06, 2018, 05:32:52 AM
Yes today bitcoin can sent without internet it is called paper wallets. It is also new to me like i only heard it last week and i did some research and its a great way to trade coins. Maybe in the future they will find a way to trade without internet but still using computer.
Perhaps you need to research more about what a paper wallet is, otherwise you completely looks like a just trolling.
Its impossible to received bitcoin without internet because you have to broadcast your transaction.
October 06, 2018, 05:07:56 AM
You must transfer Bitcoin online. With paper wallet, it is possible to transfer money without internet, but it is not very reliable. Because someone knows more private key.
But there is a project working on it. Kora Network. You can have a look. A project that can work even with SMS codes. But I don't know how much it can happen.

yes
physical bitcoins. also known initially as casascius coins or paper wallets
as long as you trust the seal and that the original holder(s) do not have or know the private coins because its sealed within the physical bitcoin. then you can swap them hand to hand
Is the physical bitcoin function as virtual bitcoin?I mean the value of this two are the same?physical bitcoins. also known initially as casascius coins or paper wallets
as long as you trust the seal and that the original holder(s) do not have or know the private coins because its sealed within the physical bitcoin. then you can swap them hand to hand
And can you let me know hows this work and how can i have this since i have some bitcoin on my electronic wallet?Hope your generous enough to enlighten me about this because i am really interested having and using this physical bitcoin

It is possible that over time the cryptocurrency market will contribute to the development of the Internet. Unfortunately, for the time being, you will not be able to perform the operations indicated without Internet access.
I also agree.Maybe in the next years,it will be more possible to transact bitcoins even without internet connection.Jump to:
