Brazil beams Bitcoin from room: A case for BTC satellite nodes
Bitcoin’s blast off to becoming”area cash”takes one huge leap with a satellite full node in Brazil.
The complete satellite node that Cessere has actually established downloads the Bitcoin blockchain directly from the Blockstream Satellite Network, negating the need for a reliable internet link. A refresher for those new to nodes: a Bitcoin complete node is software that continually keeps track of the blockchain and also its full purchase history.”
Nonetheless, up till 2020, setting up a Bitcoin node (sometimes called a Bitcoin peer, as Bitcoin is a “peer-to-peer variation of electronic cash”) was wholly reliant on regional internet carriers. In neighbouring Venezuela, for instance, a Bitcoin satellite node was set up in 2020.
