Devs Send the First #Dogecoin Transaction Without Internet via Radio #Doge On April 22, 2022, the first dogecoin (DOGE) transaction was sent via radio transmission with help from the global Starlink satellite network. The news was revealed by Dogecoin developer Michi Lumin who tweeted about the subject on Friday. “Hi. [I’m] sleepy again, so no talk big, but just did this, sending 4.2069 dogecoin (from BudZ heh) 100 miles (with @tjstebbing and @KBluezr listening on a receiver 810 miles away), using just libdogecoin, radio, and ultimately relayed to the mainnet on the other end via Starlink,” Lumin said. Dogecoin is not the first cryptocurrency to be sent using radio. Concepts like mesh networking, amateur radio equipment, and portable antennas have allowed people to push BTC transactions without internet access. Sam Patterson, the former COO of OB1, once explained in 2019 that radio is more peer-to-peer (P2P) than P2P networks built on the web. The dogecoin (DOGE) transaction sent by Michi Lumin and friends was done with HF/LoRaWAN (low-cost radio tech) combined with the Starlink satellite network. #Crypto #Cryptocurrency
