This Dogecoin Transaction Happened Without Access To Internet

Dogecoin developers conducted a DOGE transaction without the usage of the internet in a new development for the future of global communication.

The transaction, which took place on April 22, was the first of its sort for the meme coin, and it was completed via a newly built protocol called “Radio Doge.”

Michi Lumin, one of the platform’s inventors, revealed the news, claiming that the transaction was made possible by the global Starlink satellite network.

This milestone proves that Doge can now be accessible to everyone, including those who lack access to the internet.

How the DOGE transaction happened

According to the tweet, the developer transferred 4.2069 DOGE using libdogecoin and a HF/LoRaWAN (low-cost radio tech) connected to the blockchain via Starlink.

Several Dogecoin supporters have since expressed enthusiasm about the completion of the transaction. 

“The first dogecoin transaction just took place without the Internet, using Radio Doge. Much wow,” one of these supporters wrote on Friday, adding that “Radio Doge will enable access to dogecoin for people outside the reach of the internet,” the supporter added.

Bitcoin leads, Dogecoin follows

With the completion of this transaction, Dogecoin becomes the latest digital asset to be sent without internet access. 

Before DOGE’s move, other platforms have used techniques like mesh networking, amateur radio equipment, and portable antennas to complete Bitcoin transactions without internet access.

Way before DOGE’s transaction, a former Chief Operating Officer of OB1, Sam Patterson, had argued that radio has better peer-to-peer (P2P) features than P2P networks built on the web.

According to him, the peer-to-peer networks built on the internet have a special allure because of the belief that they have no point of failure. This, however, is misleading as he stated the P2P is built on many computers and the connections between them.

In his words:

A bit misleading: they are really built on many computers and the connections between them. Not true with radios. True peer to peer.
