 I am putting together a #Bitcoin mining company. We will use in-space generated solar power to power Bitcoin #miners. Solar panels in orbit are 5x more efficient due to the lack of atmospheric effects and the increased exposure time. Who should I talk to next? #asknostr 
 This will take time to build. You will not be able to start by sending a s19. I need a very low power proof of concept to start. As far as costs go- I need an old ASIC and a mission from an integrator like nano avionics or astrodigital. They’ll need more technical details for a full quote. 
 There’s a price per sqft of land versus price per kg to launch calculus that I’ll put together. Thank you. 
 Hey, if I want to build #satellites for #Bitcoin. What are some use cases? #Blockstream has a solution. Are they happy? Can that be improved upon?
