A new technology called Proof-of-Transit Timestamping (PoTT) could revolutionize Bitcoin transactions by enabling transfers between Earth and Mars within just three minutes. This breakthrough, detailed in a recent white paper by tech entrepreneur Jose E. Puente and researcher Carlos Puente, utilizes satellites, lunar relays, and optical links to create an auditable trail for interplanetary payments. 🤯
The proposed framework acts as a ‘receipt layer’ for Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, leveraging existing NASA-developed optical communication systems. This technology is already mature, with a permanent Earth-Mars communication channel being the only remaining hurdle.
PoTT ensures transparency by recording each
