BTC44 on Nostr: ...

quoting nevent1q…y5ar

What is the feasibility of running bitcoin nodes on radio. As in, they don’t (only) connect to other nodes via internet connections but also by broadcasted radio signals.

I know some radio signals have decent range but I’m not sure on bandwidth and latency and what would be required by the Bitcoin network as-is.

My main use-case is for how people could sync nodes in a case where the internet is shut off or censored or excessively priced.
Even if for just a local area, with some edge nodes connecting to the internet where available.

I don’t know much about radio but it would be really cool if possible - and would be another plan for resilience.

(I know there have been projects that send transactions over radio, but I don’t believe they were full nodes)
