Thread re: cross-planet chains
1.
Feels to me that #bitcoin
is the only L1 chain that can be truly cross-planetary as it is now.
Earth/Mars comms full round-trip is between 6m and 44m.

2. If a chain produces 5/10/30/120 blocks per min, the delay would not really make it usable cross-planets. And throughput / amount of info produced by so many blocks might be a limit as well.

4. Other chains would likely need to build a sidechain that allows balance changes only and reduce block speed to 1 block every 10 min to reduce data transmission. The sidechain will settle on mainchain via a bridge.

You would need a TCP/UDP relay and latency would be huge anyway. The beauty of LN is that you can have pure P2P channels, town hubs, region hubs, cross-region hubs, etc... So no shape is mandatory. Ideally Mars should have it's own LN P2P network
