Could a giant solar flare take out all cryptocurrency?

i doubt it- you have systems buried deep in the earth, you've got systems on the other side of the planet shielded by --- all of the earths density. solar flares would only affect half a planet - so machines would still have the block chains to reconstruct if necessary.

This is a good point. If a solar flare hit the earth it would only be hitting one side of the earth, right? So half of telecommunication would be taken out as well as ~half the nodes. This is the great thing about decentralization. It will still continue to work.

No way I want bots making any repairs; did you not see Skynet (Terminator)

Truly what are you thinking; if some politician or other idiot was to see your crazy post and think your plans useful you could kill us all ! ! !
