Did full maintenance cycle for the @EyeOnOrbit teleport. Now running on Ubuntu 20.04, more storage, @Blockstream satellite update and @BitlinqS version 3.0. And the vineyard is proper again.
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!

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!

Blockstream CEO @adam3us talks about exchanges and others needing high availability using #BlockstreamSatellite as a separate reliable source of #Bitcoin data to prevent certain kinds of network attacks. 🛰️🌐 blockstream.com/satellite
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.

Many in the space industry are motivated primarily by technologies. But for space startups to be successful, they have to avoid pursuing technologies simply because they are interesting and instead use them to solve problems. buff.ly/355IlP1
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
