I think if @elonmusk really wants to go to Mars he needs to…

I'm only thinking out loud.

On a permanent ledger.

So take it easy you jerks.

Could there be a middle point super-miner with it's own authentication hash that both sends and receives data while still accepting the longest chain?

That also stores the shorter chain a while before abandoning it due to the input lag. In case of reorg?

I feel Mars dwellers might require some sort of side chain or settlement layer due to the data transmission lag time.

So many questions.

This one is a real brain buster.

You can prebuy a set amount of BSV on a regular basis (time difference) and use that as price on Mars for the period of time. Or use of the R-Puzzle making valid transactions on Mars between each sync. Lots of ideas how to solve the sync.

Could you point me in the direction of some material on the R-puzzle?

There is not much on it, yet, as far as I know. I just thought of it as a future concept, it will be solved, that is my answer, on-chain. https://youtu.be/iYoG-nYnQoo

Point is: Just imagine that the world is on BSV, we know the expected growth and can thereby price in future costs, so data can be sidechained in intervals between syncs and paid to go onchain in syncs without much price difference.

It's as there is basically a big reorg on every sync, though that is not what actually happens. Just to illustrate how the data on Mars can be attached to Bitcoin on Earth in intervals.
