P-38: Using Lightning Network to Send Satellite Messages with Blockstream

• "For several years, BlockStream has been offering an infrastructure for synchronizing a bitcoin node via satellite, independent of the internet."
• It can also be used to send messages and files by satellite by paying only a few satoshis by the Lightning Network: https://blockstream.com/satellite-queue/
• "These messages can be received through specialized antennas, which means that it is possible to send messages or documents to specially equipped recipients who are deprived of the internet..."
• "P-38 is an application that manages the sending of these messages. Basically, this application does nothing more than the web app offered by Blockstream. But it makes it easier to manage this activity using the dedicated API."
• "P-38 was designed under the Adobe Air cross-platform framework (taken over by Harman, a Samsung group company). The application works on Windows PC and Macintosh. A mobile version (Android and Apple) will be offered later."
