> the difficulty is not intergalactic because a solution on mars is much less useful than a solution on earth

We're talking apples and oranges, I don't think there is a disagreement - I was only saying that the statistical problem is "intergalactic", not that how it's used in Bitcoin is useful across galaxies. The fact that the probability of the outcome is same across the whole universe is what I found particularly remarkable.
