Yes it is 100% true a Crypto company sent Bitcoin Miner to the edge of Space with the help of an High Altitude Balloon where it confirmed transactions and mined Bitcoin over 100,000 feet from the surface of the planet.
A helium-filled balloon was used to lift the Space Minor One capsule to this great height. When the capsule passed through the troposphere — roughly 3.7 to 6.2 miles above earth — the ASIC activated and the satellite phone was used to communicate with the internet. The balloon continued to grow — reaching over 10 meters in diameters at its largest — as it ascended to the stratosphere due to falling air pressure.
MINING IN SPACE POSSIBLE?
If you really put your head to it, you can see that mining Cryptocurrency in space could really be profitable. The constant power supply from Solar energy and the freezing temperatures of space makes a good blend for profitable mining. Space flights are getting cheaper with reusable rockets and innovations from private companies. This might as well become a profitable venture for investors.
