So is anyone willing to send nodes into space? i think this is the next step in decentralization, it just sounds so good. The only problem would be to keep them updated indeed, so someone should be working on this. Just imagine, floating nodes that can be updated and just float around in earth's orbit. No matter what happens we would have always worldwide nodes available.

The only project which has actually begun to bring this to reality is the Nexus Project. We have made real connections with rocket company to send cube sats into space and broadcast crypto blockchains to earth. Its not a fund, ICO or some crowdfund either. Completely organic project just like Satoshi did with bitcoin. Letting the market build the demand. Should be releasing the BBC interview with rocket scientist mentioning Nexus on BBC Business Live as well. Keep updated on the thread, twitter, facebook and slack

That escrow is meaningless, because all the funds will ultimately end up in OP's hands without any control of what will happen next. Op is an anonymous person without any discernible competence for the venture he is promoting. He hasn't even provided a detailed layout of the satellite in question. Regardless he already wants to collect money to buy parts for it.

This smells fishy.

ya.ya.yo!

but it would be at least a more clever scam Cheesy

if you read the escrow then you'll know that i will reveal my identity( Passport / Credit card ) or any other evidence that is needed.
and you might wanna read the OP carefully again.
thanks for your feedback

note; i do understand that some of you might think that building a satellite is something ''hard'' but in this case you're wrong. thanks to cubesats, literally anyone with access to internet can build them with the right tools. think of it as a Helium ballon of flying objects. easy to manufacture.

Even if you reveal your identity to master-P, it doesn't matter much, because you can just declare that the project has failed and leave with the funds. In that case, you can't even be accused of scamming and master-P could expose himself to legal risk if he would reveal your identity. That said, even prominent scammers in the past have provided ID...

If you think that building a cubesat is that easy, then why you haven't provided a detailed design of the sat yet?

ya.ya.yo!

because this is going to be a community built cubesat. if that was the case i could just build it myself, but that would defeat the purpose with this project.
if you would buy the parts for a cubesat, all you actually need to do is just connect the boards, connect the structure, configure the signal and close the cubesat. it's basically that easy

If you have just read the signed message from the escrow, then you will see that the OP provided his full identification to increase confidence that OP would not run away with the funds. Reading helps a lot. Roll Eyes

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

I have been asked to be escrow for this crowdfunding project. I have generated an address in cold storage below for those who wish to participate in this project:

1MYFZtN2ZDRUWQSPuMU8k4uk9aspBhc1xP

Funds will be held until the full amount is raised then it will be handed to the project manager "Sakarias-Corporation" for purchasing of the goods to purchase the Cubesat structure.

Since this escrow cannot guarantee the project manager would not run away with the funds, the manager has offered to provide his full identity and information to me in case anything happens to help increase confidence.

As long as you understand the risks of this project that the funds are not fully protected by my escrow (due to the nature of the project) then you may go ahead and donate. For any clarification be sure to contact both myself and Sakarias-Corporation.

Taking the ideal a step further. NASA could easily enter the financial space (no pun intended) by having an adjunct division place and maintain orbiting cryptocurrency nodes as a service for myriad entities. But, since some feel that NASA may be a bad fit due to them being in the hip pocket of the US government, then the independent space agencies could easily fill the bill, thereby giving them the needed revenue stream to advance their overall endeavor. With this model, you'll have banks competing to give - not loan - money to a financial space program so that they'll have their nodes in place ASAP.

maybe i should set up a Escrow for funds ?

Yeah, most of the Bitcointalk.org user don't trust anyone that receive or send money on the forum until there is an escrow to deal with the funds. So it could be a cool point that could raise people in this project Wink

Apollo 11 never landed on the moon. It was a hoax by USA to outcompete USSR in the space exploration race.

Fuck off , you stupid cunt. Unless that was a joke. If so, it was not funny!
