Topic: Off grid Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 370 times)
I was very excited when I saw bitcoin was recently sent by radio frequency.. This is a revolution if bitcoin submissions can be with sms.. Thank you to be involved in this project.. I'm reviewing txTenna github..
There is a project called transfix, was introduced to it by a friend, they promise to make bitcoin sendable without the internet. I had to leave their telegram group because they always asking people to bu their ICO, and too many HYIP about the token sales. Sometimes, I get bad network making it extremely difficult for me to carry out my daily crypto activities. The internet affected my bitcoin peer trading because of a bad network, I would sometimes just sleep off in frustration. I look forward to such a project that would enable me to send bitcoin without the internet.
I can't see this being anything other than a purely academic exercise. If the internet itself is gone then most people will be scratching at their own skin having been denied the ability to upload their duckfaces. They're not going to care about BTC.
I suppose there might be one person every square hundred miles with access to ham radio or the necessary satellite gear.

issues with ham radio LN
it takes many messages to complete the payment
the payment is just a handshake between 2 users and not a settled transaction.
also ham radio is not like phone calls where its just 1-to-1 private comms.. but broadcast out to the wide area of multiple listeners. utilising ham radio for LN seems odd
however that said
because ham radio is a 1-to-many comms (broadcast)
using it to send an ACTUAL bitcoin transaction out to the world where then anyone hearing it can then forward it on to a pool. would help.
but simply using up a ham radio frequency just for hand shaking payments between two specific users is not really using the transmission method wisely

these are all great additional projects that are popping up these days.
but one of the problems that i always see in them is the lack of trust. for example when you are using bitcoin, you are using a trust-less network. you just get all the blocks and verify them yourself, broadcast everything and are a part of the network. but when you use something like this (SMS in this case) you have to trust the receiver is actually going to broadcast your transaction and this can only work for the case when you are only sending coins, you can never trust something like that for receiving coins!

BITCOIN in the future will take 10x steps, transaction will sent via SMS is very interesting project.
I started a thread about the first ham radio transaction using the Lightning netwoork, and how that could help us to make Bitcoin transfers without access to the Internet. The recent loss of Internet access in much of Venezuela has brought this topic to the fore again, and it seems there are other solutions. One of which is txTenna -

I rhink that this is something that we should be discussing in Bitcoin Talk, and I would be interested in being a part of any project that may be started here.

Except for Bitcoin, I've heard of a few more projects. I will follow the development and the discussions in Github. I feel like going to Bitcoin and the future will be very nice.
This is an interesting topic indeed and I think a lot will surely want to transfer his cryptocurrency into another platform without the use of the internet, And I think it is downloadable in this site https://txtenna.com/
Well it will sure broadcast your transaction by SMS and I really think this is surely targeting a lot of consumers using only a mobile device to make a transaction just like in Digital money transfer, And you will surely need to buy a Gotenna Mesh device for this transaction to work, And you will need to find other Meshers in your area to make a transaction because this network is people-powered,
