Not only am I an avid supporter and user of BCH but I'm also an avid supporter and user of ham radio ops.
In ham radio, we can send and receive emails without the need of an Internet connection. We can use a piece of software called Winlink. Basically what this can do is the following (very dumbed down):
- Your station attempts to contact a Winlink node, whether it's a few miles away or thousands of miles away.
- Once you've established a connection to a node, you can then send and receive emails from that node. Typically this remote node is connected to the Internet (not all the time, sometimes you can "hop" from that node to another - a digipeter).
What if we created a system similar to this but for sending signed transactions to a node that would then broadcast it to the network? All ham comms must be unencrypted but I wouldn't think that would matter because you're just sending a signed transaction. You could then ask that node (or any other node) for a status of that transaction.
What's the use case? Let's say the Internet goes out for a few days or there's been some kind of disaster. Credit card transactions likely won't go through but BCH can! I have no where near the programming capabilities or brains to even fathom how such a system would be setup at the logical level. Just an idea that I thought would be cool.
