 can someone explain how bitcoin mainnet or LN can still work over there ? no political comment or activism - just shoot feasible technical answers ok. looks like SEED / PRIVKEY will be sitting duck until normalcy returns or work intermittently from ISP who still land/sat uplinks partly operational. https://image.nostr.build/9ff865aa48fdb7abf9cdaca248357ce90916197449b2ae3305a24ff17a9359e5.png

Any OFFLINE TX technology ? SATSCHIP https://image.nostr.build/13351c133cc161b896612beae38d05f7804bd258b4c2acdc4f23201f95fae371.png @NVK @f1b911af 
@Magister Michael Dilger M.Sc. even nostr maybe sporadic working only - So far Lebanese  lost over >99% of purchasing power since late 2019 ! 
 Data from the IODA project shows there was a complete drop (no prefixes seen via BGP) from AS43852 but looks like it has since been restored. I think it would depend on how well any other ISPs in the area were still functioning or availability of satellite connectivity as to how usable Bitcoin/LN were during the outage. https://i.nostr.build/3YXA3dcjJ5qiMst9.jpg  
 yeah it will be INTERMITTENT and more  can happen soon was escalation continue. - local  LN mesh can may work with some TRUSTED authority but MAINNET will FAIL if cannot reach 3 or more peers.
