This is helpful, thank you!
The world I'm building features a multiplanetary civilization with colonies on the moon and Mars. Because of Bitcoin's 10-minute block time, mining is only possible on the Earth/moon. Earth has become the centralized hub of finance through which other worlds must transact.
Colonies in the asteroid belt specialize in producing high-end computing hardware (including mining equipment) but can't themselves mine because they're too far out. The main conflict of the novel is the threat of asteroid colonists to execute a contentious fork with a significantly longer block time. This would decentralize mining throughout the inner solar system, undermining Earth's privileged position.
Still working out the details. It's likely that the main antagonist will be the CEO of a major power generation/mining outfit on Earth (uses energy production from lunar helium-3 fusion). Protagonist(s) TBD.
