Unfortunately, the MIT feasibility subsidy from @zuid_holland didn't come through. It's a lottery in the end and our lottery number (425) was too high to be granting our excellent proposal 😪. But back on feet again. In talks with a 2nd LEO IOT provider!
Welcoming a new satellite to Space tomorrow that can be used for our hybrid SatCom service.
More news about the upcoming #Soyuz 2 mission with a record-breaking number of participating nations! 38 spacecraft from 18 countries will be launched on 20 March 2021. 🚀 More details: spaceflightnow.com/2021/03/1…

Bitlinq service outage tomorrow
🚨 #BlockstreamSatellite will be undergoing a short 2-hour maintenance at 1600-1800 UTC on 3/19/21. We recommend existing Basic and Pro kit users update to the latest version. SDR users will need to upgrade. The update should be available by Tuesday. 🛰️ blockstream.com/satellite
Presenting today in the @lacuna_space booth on #TheThingsConference 2021. Drop by the virtual booth and have a look at the first hybrid SatCom solution connecting LEO (@lacuna_space) with GEO (@Blockstream Satellite). Or check out the YouTube video! youtu.be/zp4qCN0slog

Luckily 2021 is still amongst us! Make the best of it!🛰🛰🛰🚀🚀🚀
As 2021 comes to an end bitcoin blocks are flowing in from @Blockstream Satellite, powering the Bitcoin node, the #LightningNetwork node and the Bitlinq message handler. Happy newyear!

Merry Xmas & Happy Newyear. Message send out through our service and globally broadcasted by @Blockstream Satellite. And received again in the @EyeOnOrbit teleport. Thanks also to @lacuna_space for all the support this year. We will be back in 2021 for global roll-out!
Updating the BitlinqAPI python code. Chasing this bug for a few days that apparantly underscores (=____) are not allowed in @telegram messages (that are used for status control)

Running #LightningNetwork node for paying for the @Blockstream Satellite service. It only has 150.000 sats in 2 channels as one message only costs ~25 sats. Now node cannot pay because of the high-fee BTC market. Not going to add liquidity because of same reason. Frustrating.

Bitlinq message handler v1.054 is ready for tonight's overpass of the M6P satellite. Bridging between LEO IOT SatCom and GEO SatCom
By the way, not on AWS
Running 5 interconnected terminal sessions on @EyeOnOrbit teleport computer:
1) #Bitcoin node
2) #LightningNetwork node
3) @Blockstream Satellite 2.0 blockchain updater via @Telesat Telstar 11N satellite
4) @Blockstream Satellite 2.0 API data reader
5) @BitlinqS message handler

1 year anniversary today. Went from an idea to a platform that works using @Blockstream satellite and @lacuna_space. Here is to the next year!
Next steps for Bitlinq, the subscriptionless full-duplex global messaging system

Why Bitlinq
Researcher and Oxford PhD candidate James Pavur presented findings that show that satellite-based Internet is putting millions of people at risk, despite providers adopting new technologies that are supposed to be more advanced. arstechnica.com/information-…
The Lightning Network is in the core of our technology. And we will bring it to Space for global access.

And what an overpass it was! Beautiful automatic relay from @lacuna_space IOT terminal to @Blockstream Satellite.
