Topic: Using bitcoin without internet - page 13. (Read 2651 times)
i think its definately good for bitcoin bcz in this way many people in the world can enter in crypto if they face internet issue.and another thing using satelite is more costly than using internet.
I'm not too informed on the Blockstream satellite stuff. I'm reading an article about it now. Can users who set up nodes via satellite only receive the blockchain? Are they not able to broadcast transactions as well? See here:
It's a cool idea, but if the internet infrastructure really goes down, I'm not sure how much more resilience it'll actually provide.

“The benefits include prevention of network partitioning, the ability to use bitcoin in remote areas where internet connectivity may be limited, and it can also be a way to have a secure, fully synced node for a wallet (as it’s receive-only, [there’s] no risk of getting hacked).”

Using satelite provide more expensive rather than internet.
Why people want to use something expensive while the cheaper have same benefit.
It's become the alternate solution let say when disaster ruin internet for eternity which IMO it's impossible to happen in next 100 years

Blockstream Satellite Now Means Most Of The World Can Use Bitcoin Without Internet. What's your opinion on this one? Do you see it as progress or not? 
If that technology can work well then it is definitely very good progress, because with this technology we can use bitcoin without the internet where the use of bitcoin fully involves the internet so far. I personally don't know too much about that technology, but with this information I think it will be very good. 
I don't see why someone would use bitcoin without Internet if it is strongly connected with internet technologies.
I don't know why this could be a possibility of hidden manipulation, if for example bitcoin, crypto and things are separated from the internet then it is not "Block" & "Chain" because it is not connected, so it should be to avoid manipulation and fraud it would be better if indeed this is the special features of the blockchain
There are some remote communities where the access to Internet is a huge problem. I've been to such places myself. I think it would be great if someday people can use bitcoins without the Global network.
Using bitcoin without internet would a lot of help specially for those who are in a remote area that dealing difficulties of having an internet connection. Yet having campaign such as social medias usually uses internet for posting. Having an internet would be a lot advantage.
When will it be possible to use btc without internet?
This is a new information for me and it's yet to see how would this function in real use and if some issues might come along with this.
Still it's a progress if everything goes fine and I think this will enable a bigger number of people to use Bitcoin. I don't know how this technology exactly works but obviously someone has researched all good and bad sides of it. But it's a good news for countries where Internet isn't so widely available or it's still expensive for the users.

This is a really wonderful job indeed people who cannot be able to use the internet they can use bitcoin easily for this amazing technology. Especially it can be advantages for the people who belong from a rural area where internet is not accessible so it is really beneficial.
This is my first time knowing this.
Lack of access to the internet has always been one of the arguments against Bitcoin's mass adoption. Good thing a team is trying to solve that now. This is an exciting development.

I'll check it out, but first of all, isn't there already a way to at least store btc without the Internet? I'm talking about paper wallets. You need a website first, but then you can just save a website file and open it on a computer that is not connected to the Internet. You get a randomly generated address offline and then you print it out. As for Blockstream Satellite, I find it suspicious that it's not some famous thing. They have less than 1k subscribers on their Youtube channel and no big videos about it. I think the idea is kind of cool, though, and blockchain is now indeed free from the Internet.

Maybe this will be a good innovation for Bitcoin, because not all regions are affordable by the internet, and the spread of Bitcoin must continue to spread throughout the world to increase its adoption.

I don't think it would be possible if using bitcoin without internet, what if they were very far away in a village that was not covered by satellites. Of course they will not be able to use without the internet, if that is true it will happen, of course everyone will feel happy without paying internet usage bills. But that is not possible, I think that's just your wish.

Kinda like telemetry, I think, but this one processes more data and has more capacity compared to its predecessors. This is really an excellent news considering that there are still some parts of the world in which internet access is prohibited or not that reliable and stable. This could potentially change the game for the mining industry and travelers should they find themselves in a remote area that accepts bitcoins (this could happen) and without cash but only bitcoins on hand. As the article states, one only needs a USB device and a receiver to relay transactions and receive data from the satellite, and I just hope that it's not that expensive so as to really help change the shape of sending money wherever you are, literally.

I do have any thought that can we use bitcoin without any use of internet connection. It might possible somewhere in the future but still we need to use internet to access cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin. If the technologies become more advance there is tendency that we can use bitcoin without any need of internet.
In my opinion it is not possible if bitcoin is used without an internet connection because the internet greatly affects the work system of bitcoin, if there is no internet, bitcoin is not possible to run. So in my opinion the internet is very much needed in the use of bitcoin.
maybe bitcoin will be faster when accessed with the internet, but this is a satellite system that might be as good as internet access in general, this is a very useful progress for future bitcoin
It's a great progress for Bitcoin, Bitcoin could help a lot of people economically,but some of the third world got no access of internet, if the satellite could replace the internet function then it can boost the adoption of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin also can be used in everywhere
