The issue is the goal is to keep it to where it doesn't need a device like a phone to handle it. It would just be a ticker that uses like your router and automatically updates or something.
Yeah, exactly. Needing a mobile phone to control it or a computer running 24/7 to control it just isn't that useful...
Well I won't be building it, so it doesn't help me, but hopefully it'll help an engineer. A little too big for my taste, though.
It'd be great if somebody found a wireless module for $10. All I found were $40+...
There have to be cheaper wireless modules, being that you can even buy USB WiFi adapters for $10-15. Sadly, I wouldn't even know where to start with any of this stuff.
I've got a prototype, registered an LLC, registered a domain, got a website, established financials (bank acct., etc.), custom emails, setup Stripe & Coinbase accounts.
Within the next week or two we will begin taking pre-orders or go to Indiegogo for crowdfunding. The only potential drawback of indiegogo is that people interested in backing the project wouldn't be able to do so using Bitcoin.
We are going two offer two different versions: one with a touch-screen, and one without. As you could expect the ticker with the touch-screen will be a bit pricier.
I have created a twitter, facebook, and separate bitcointalk account just for this project and business. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask here or when we post the announcement thread around the beginning of June.
I can't wait to start producing these and shipping in the coming month or two!
