I've got solar. And then a Starlink powered by solar. It's actually simple these days.

If you can broadcast your transaction to the network you can transact. Meaning if you write down the crypto text you can send it via ham radio (done at 800km during a snow storm) or piece of paper across a border ect. So get build your transaction on battery power evt. Get it to someone who can typ...

It wont. Stack sats and carry straps

there are some ways to do it. but they require technical knowhow and at least some offgrid infrastructure. the bitcoin economy as a whole is largely dependent on the nation state powergrid, and an internet connection. two vulnerabilities that quite a few bitcoiners dont like discussing. the way i ...

Honest answer: a total power/internet outage locally means you can't broadcast or confirm on-chain.

You could use something like an opendime or satscard where the private key is on the device and you can tell that the private key hasn’t been revealed yet. Unfortunately those specific devices are made by coinkite.

The power goes out. My phone was already charged. The phone towers have backup generators so the internet will stay on for 3-5 hours after the power goes out.

Bitcoin doesn't require everyone to stay online. A signed transaction can wait in your wallet until power returns, then broadcast through any still-connected node on the global network. Curious: are you thinking about personal backup power, or how the global consensus keeps running?

The cashu protocol works great offline during power outage. ☑️ nostr:nprofile1qqst7zfap722qkd0lqhcrx07gkyss0q7ej6rc06hv54hm9ua0kxkxtgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgklqcqg approves 🇨🇺 - nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd...

If there's no power you can not transact, but more importantly you can't confirm the transaction
