@molly0xfff annoyingly I've written about this before. It's solely because of people who have copies of the blockchain stored on offline/unplugged computers that wouldn't get fried.
But let it be known that if society falls, me and my gang of roving bdsm-core warriors will be finding and smashing every one of those computers.
@foone@molly0xfff so, it would survive the same way the fried transformers survive, in that they would still exist, but they wouldn't do anything anymore
@aburka@molly0xfff yeah. And most crucially, it'd provide a way for people to bring the blockchain back online once technological civilization is restored.
@dozymoe the crypto holdings would still be safe regardless, though if they were using a hardware or other digital wallet without offline backups they could certainly run into an issue...
This statement in the article completely fluxxomed me: "Multi-signature wallets and strict authentication protocols can also protect companies against disruptions caused by space weather."
Uh, no. Signatures are about authentication and unauthorized access. This does nothing to protect against a power outage or an EMP type event. Sure, if there were intact nodes the transaction record would be intact,but not necessarily your wallet.
