the problem is the price of this device ... you can build an atom motherboard+RAM+SSD and 12v 10A supply for less and buy an U3 after this (on the same supply).


And you could make U3 run on rpi with no difficulty and little to no technical knowledge. Also I don't think the purpose of this machine is to get revenue from mining as much as utilizing smart contracts. So the average cryptocurrency user would have actually nothing to do with it. The hashing power of that machine is so low, that it won't likely roi on itself. But we never know, now do we. I'm not the target audience for this product so I think I'll skip this one for now. Maybe future.

I'm confused.  I never knew hardware had anything to do with firing off and listening to txs over the bitcoin network.

Whatever, all the best to them I guess.  Quite the gimmick though.

No way. Too expensive, even for a toy Cheesy

I heard there starting to ship.  Anybody getting one and what are you planning on using it for?

I still do not see the purpose of this 21 machine, at least for ordinary crypto users. Anyone who can shed some light, pls do.

I don't really see a purpose for anyone, unless one wants to have something, different, a novelty Smiley

Same here, way too much money. If I was an early investor who was loaded, I would totally buy tho. Beside the actual practical use, I would just collect an item of each of those Bitcoin related technologies. I am under the impresion that in some years, the first miners, this thing, trezor.. will be really valuable collector items.

 Roll Eyes use a real desktop miner device ... like R-Box or U3.



with 9dB 92mm fan ... no noise at all !

It's more suitable for developers and I don't see really the point for a regular user to purchase this product and to add to that, it's really over price with the specs it has so if your not a developer then you better look away but overall it's nice to see the first BTCitcoin computer popping out finally

Some info's incase someone needs it: http://www.amazon.com/21-INC-21BC1-Bitcoin-Computer/dp/B014RD021C
