I agree with the OP Bitcoin should run over a network protocol like PJON https://github.com/gioblu/PJON and a private network infrastructure made by people.
The point is, if you switch just the protocol, and keep the same infrastructure nothing will change.
1. Cover the LED so it cannot be hit by light 2. Charge it in reverse bias to write a 1 or do nothing to write a 0
inverting the polarity and reading the + you detect a voltage for up to 3-5 seconds depending on the diode if a 1 was written in earlier :)

>Aggressive space activities without adequate safeguards could significantly shorten the time between collisions and produce an intolerable hazard to future spacecraft. Some of the most environmentally dangerous activities in space include large constellations such as those initially proposed by the Strategic Defense Initiative in the mid-1980s, large structures such as those considered in the late-1970s for building solar power stations in Earth orbit, and anti-satellite warfare using systems tested by the USSR, the US, and China over the past 30 years. Such aggressive activities could set up a situation where a single satellite failure could lead to cascading failures of many satellites in a period much shorter than years.
This post was in the first page thanks to dang, who decided to let me make a repost, after this comment generated a lot of interest: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23589798 now 6 months ago
and this post I created immediately after got huge interest although being only visible in the "show" first page because it was "flagged": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23591953
and that is just the standard policy of HN.
But you could have just discovered most by yourself just checking my account info, instead it looks you are prone to see conspiracy behind everything.
Another user postulated the same could have happened in the opposite direction (trolls trying to discredit this submission), I told him he might have a point, you label me as a conspiracy theorist.
That's for sure fair.
jlgaddis, probably there could not have been a better way to describe the situation.
Have a nice Christmas :)

All devices listed in the compatibility section are able to communicate over a twisted pair with no additional hardware, as Fred well noted, you just need one wire and connect directly the IO pins. And up to 255 devices can share the same twisted pair.
As you can read in Video Camera Control Jack just used two arduinos, 2km of wiring within his university's network and a couple of pull-down resistors. The protocol works even when the human body is used as a conductor as shows the gif present in the article.
On social compare someone made this: https://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/comparison-of-networ...
I think the comparison between PJON and LIN there is revealing. As you can see LIN handles up to 16 devices, it is master-slave and has a range of 40, with a complex front-end at a relatively high voltage.
PJON is free for use, it is all open-source. We do sell products to fund the development of the project.
The core of the community uses PJON over PJDL in home automation systems, irrigation systems, feeding systems ecc. Soon Mysensors will include PJON over PJDL in their list of supported transports. PJON works also over TCP, UDP, MQTT, ESPNOW, LoRa ecc. so generally a router is built and programmed to run 2 instances of PJON for example PJDL and MQTT, to then route data to and from a process running on a real-time operative system
See: https://github.com/gioblu/PJON/blob/master/examples/routing/...
which can also run PJON thanks to the wide support of the implementation.
See: https://github.com/gioblu/PJON/wiki
Looks to be handy for many to connect devices, even on different media.
Although many also use PJON to implement mesh or peer-to-peer networks, there is a group in Australia building such a network using PJON over LoRa.
I must say I hope we will be able to start building a private network infrastructure with it, that would be awesome.
Companies and institutions are also implementing PJON within their products and services. AD24, a Czech company, recently created a mesh network over PJON to connect advertising monitors around the city of Prague. It looks there are also few companies in Germany which use PJON to create real world automation systems.
Recently contacted by the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) to support the development of a PJON network of temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the vault of the Cathedral of Valencia and avoid its decay, I hope this will end up done, it would be really rewarding.
