Re: Civilian Blockchain Internet Drones? Has this been done before?

Beaming Internet with Drones?

Idea like Launching 100 Drones from point A and landing at B, another 100 Drones take off from B, continue beaming Internet & land at point C, another 100 Drones take off from C, continue beaming Internet land at D. This goes and on. ..
Meanwhile, Drones immediately start charging by humans as they land. They are quickly positioned for take off after fully charged.

Their data will be hosted on Blockchain and their Control Center may be managed by humans through Blockchain.

Wonder if this has been done before? Will be great to see some ICOs lunched for this by anyone for just Cryptocurrency community.

✴Idea inspiration is from YouTube and a US company.

Pardon me for playing the devil's advocate. But I dont think you will be needing a blockchain for keeping and storing all the data. Wont a database, centrally maintained and secured, be more cost-effective for that?

Unless your definition of a blockchain is different from mine.

You do know that a blockchain can store information? And for some reason I think it is more cost effective and secure to store the data in the blockchain.

I believe it's well established that blockchains can store information. The issues come when you scale a blockchain. How do you expect to store that much information in a blockchain? Consuming things from the internet would be an immense challenge for a blockchain. At this stage in the technology, there are many things a blockchain isn't suited to handle and this can't be over looked.

I agree with a previous poster that balloons are better suited for distributing internet. Drones are expensive, don't have a very long flight time (relative to 100% up time that is necessary for internet), are susceptible to weather conditions, and even illegal in some countries.
