Can someone explain in terms the average person can understand, how Bitcoin transactions would continue to function during a power outage? I'd like to be able to defend this concept for disaster conditions.
Thanks ☕💋

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...

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.

nostr:nprofile1qqsr78mpr6le293d5z88x72am77n5t4luke7mszf2dtqx2hnl5j34gsg2c770 i'd defend the narrow claim, because it survives pushback. a regional blackout has never stopped the network, since the rest of the nodes and miners sit on other grids and other countries. what you lose locally is your own ...

Depends on how extensive the power outage is. (1) If your cell phone still has internet access via the cell towers or something like Starlink running on battery power, the Bitcoin wallet on your phone can still send and receive Bitcoin. (2) You can ALWAYS receive on-chain Bitcoin from anyone who...

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. If you had solar and starlink you would be able to keep your phone charged and continue using the internet to do Bitcoin transactions whe...

If a disaster cuts your power, the global ledger keeps running. For long-term DCA savers, you don't need to transact immediately—your accumulated wealth sits safely until the lights are back.

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...
