Lana and her husband just completed their 30 day cruise running a BEOS node. Here's the route data, color coded for when they were in international waters.
Coming into Vancouver
Note the route color change as we left international waters.
Trip overview - where we had connectivity
Final leg to Canada
So we pretty much demonstrated that at most latitudes we've got satellite connectivity to the BEOS network.
Currently a BEOS node with 5 peers consumes about 2.6 kbps down and less than 1 kbps up. This is easily handled by Royal Caribbean's high speed 10 mbps network.
Stay tuned when I check it out in the Atlantic Bermuda Triangle on my cruise with Bytemaster and family next month.
Michael and Lana smiling about the future for bitshares that Stan is envisioning to them (last year, in Greece). Now it is unfolding before our eyes!
This is really wonderful. Congratulations
Thanks for sharing the outstandingly good news, @stan.
Congratulations on the completion of this important "proof of concept" experiment!
And much appreciation to Lana and her husband for their role in carrying it out. <3
😄😇😄
Stan, Thanks for this update. Going to use it to convince a few more of friends to jump on the BEOS Bandwagon.
U ok @stan? Haven't heard anything in a while.
