Spreading a blockchain node across three continents (and a subtle networking lesson along the way)
A solo blockchain project I've been building had a real, honest weakness: every piece of its public infrastructure ultimately depended on one home internet connection staying up. A recent multi-hour outage made that weakness concrete rather than theoretical — the fix needed to be real infrastructure, not just a plan.
The real goal
Independent, fully-synced nodes on separate continents, separate power grids, separate providers — so no single regional failure could stop the network.
What that actually took
