Nick Gogerty, founder, The SolarCoin Foundation, said:
"Crypto-currency is a hot commodity – so hot, in fact, that hackers have already pulled off heists that have left consumers empty-handed. We wanted to find a way to securely store our currency, and the SpaceBelt is a perfect fit. We look forward to working with Cloud Constellation to enable the first currency transaction to and from space."
Cliff Beek, Cloud Constellation President of SpaceBelt, said:
"We created SpaceBelt to address the serious security gaps in current network infrastructure of data transport and storage. Along the way, we found many applications for this technology, including the financial sector, which is notoriously vulnerable to attack. It's exciting to work with forward-thinking organizations like SolarCoin Foundation, which not only recognize the possibilities of space-based storage, but also share our mission of reducing the carbon footprint. We are working together to secure the future of data storage and of our planet."
