CONTINUITY: Bitcoin to the Moon!
A group of developers, https://t.co/WJQEkXy2am, just completed the first #Bitcoin transaction to reach the surface of the moon. 🌙

Sent via a radio frequency, they retransmitted in morse code, a #Bitcoin transaction. The data hit the lunar surface and refracted back to earth! 📻 pic.twitter.com/z7rQ8iATFn
A Bitcoin transaction was transmitted via Earth-Moon-Earth bounce by radio amateurs, encoded in Morse code. (The tweet should have said “reflected”, not “refracted”.) Here's my tool for encoding arbitrary binary data as five-letter code groups which are easily transmitted in code or by voice.
