2/ January: We first announced the #BlockstreamJade hardware wallet (now fully compatible with @SpecterWallet and @BitcoinCoreorg nodes). 💎🌊
1/ In the event of a global internet shutdown, would that lead to a temporary halt of all transaction processing, with everything going back to normal as the internet is "switched back on"?
2/ During the shutdown, miners would still mine on their own local networks, and you would essentially get thousands of chain splits occurring as each miner mined its own chain separately.
3/ As the internet comes back on, all the “lighter” (less pow) chains would be wiped out in favour of the “heavier” (more pow) chain.
