Guys, if I'm reading their website correctly, they've devised a way to transmit bitcoin transactions directly over radio wave. No internet required. This is gonna be HUGE.

This is HUGE.

But it is more like a backbone link for remote areas rather than a direct uplink to make transactions.

These are radio waves, these are satellite signals! Holy shit this is huge, that means all you need is a view to the sky anywhere and you can send/receive btc with a smartphone. WOW.

No, not with a smartphone. It is a joke, isn't it?
