I have thought about putting up a satellite for a long time but never had the funds. With today's tech it could be done very cheaply. I'm thinking that the main computer could even be a raspberry pi or beaglebone. It would need a long range transmitter, it could be possible to use laser communications but hitting a one pound object in low earth orbit would be like shooting a flea off a dogs back, and the dog just so happens to be running at 1,000 mph
I could use the current tech used in RC airplanes. With a directional antenna they are able to transmit a digital signal 50miles or more. the minimum distance of communication for low earth orbit is about 100miles. With the right antenna and amplifier it might be possible. This would make it very cheap to build.

Certainly a unique and very boldly idea.
But I don't have the imagination to come up with ideas how that would function as anything else than a "space billboard" what people can't even see with naked eyes.
Would it be possible to use it as an "ultimate space backup" of the blockchain (yes, I am trolling with these "space thingies"
, but I am serious with the question though 
).I must have added it after you quoted.
The idea would be to make it a seednode and have it mine on its little ARM cpu. This way if the world ended 42 would live on.
