Under existing hardware infrastructure, cryptocurrency is technically under the mercy of telecommunication and government technology industries. Coupled with both the development of software and hardware, Nexus seeks to free men from centralized financial institutions.
Is this even feasible? How would you bypass gov regulations and actually launch tech in space? Don't they have all the power to stop something like that if they felt it would threaten their businesses?
The only regulations with regard to items launched in space are the international agreements regarding frequency bands for communications to and from space and international agreements with regards to stuff coming back to Earth.
Beyond that it's as free as it gets. Anyone can launch a satellite these days. Over here. Middle schools do it.
I have a question unrelated to this: What's up with the mining? Is CPU mining still viable on say a 12 core E5? What are the latest CPU and GPU miners?
