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

Bitlinq message handler v1.054 is ready for tonight's overpass of the M6P satellite. Bridging between LEO IOT SatCom and GEO SatCom

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.

Updating the BitlinqAPI python code. Chasing this bug for a few days that apparantly underscores (=____) are not allowed in Telegram Messenger messages (that are used for status control)

Blockstream CEO Adam Back 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

Merry Xmas & Happy Newyear. Message send out through our service and globally broadcasted by Blockstream Satellite. And received again in the Eye On Orbit teleport. Thanks also to Lacuna Space for all the support this year. We will be back in 2021 for global roll-out!

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!

Luckily 2021 is still amongst us! Make the best of it!🛰🛰🛰🚀🚀🚀

Perfect reception of Blockstream Satellite during the Dutch #snowmageddon

Bitlinq service outage tomorrow

Welcoming a new satellite to Space tomorrow that can be used for our hybrid SatCom service.

Proposal for feasibility analysis of integration of ₿itlinq.space and Optical SatCom almost ready. Final wordsmithing ongoing. Wish me luck and get your roofs ready for beaming laserlight to Space!

Unfortunately, the MIT feasibility subsidy from Provincie 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!

Did full maintenance cycle for the Eye On Orbit teleport. Now running on Ubuntu 20.04, more storage, Blockstream satellite update and ₿itlinq.space version 3.0. And the vineyard is proper again.
