No it wouldn't. Data transaction times preclude any real time processing farther than the distance of Sun <-> Earth

surprised there isnt a space coin already!
not sure how great ping times would be in space ;-) plus then waiting around for confirmations? I cant see the first mcdonalds on the moon accepting these

I'm sure someone will create a "Space coin" soon...

A modified version would be ideal, with multiple blockchains that merge every once in a while, one per planet. It will probably be very costly to have internet between planets, so each planet keeps their own blockchain. They could be combined every x days to increase speed and reduce bandwith use. We don't want the system crippled if a link goes down.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23374193

well untill people in space start producing things to sell to earth, and then want things on earth sent up.. then there would be no need for a medium of exchange.
at the moment these space flights are 'all inclusive' whether you work on the space station everything is taken care of for them. or that champaign glass on virgin galactic is included in the ticket price. so right now its not something people need to dwell on. use your brain power on expanding bitcoin on earth today. not the theoretical possibilities of decades away
