I have no knowledge about satellite technology, but my concern is, are those devices capable of transmitting data or for receiving only? Much better if its design in two way link.
Recieve only. But for wallet use w/cell phone likely cheap and untraceable in a corrupt
Country with cell phone prepaid. Comes to mind anyway.
But what if you are in North Korea? I was wondering if it would be possible to make the first transaction ever in Best Korea now that there are satellites broadcasting the blockchain.
But you say these devices only receive data. If so then how do you broadcast your transaction back into the blockchain if internet is blocked on the entire country and there are no wifi signals or anything? Let alone the fact that there aren't even computers or cellphones.
You would need a tourist to smuggle you a phone with wallet software installed, but even then, what do you exactly do with it?
I wonder who will be the first to manage to broadcast a bitcoin transaction in North Korea, that would be epic.
