Topic: NEW! Bitcoin Smartphone Coming Soon - page 3. (Read 1448 times)
This is great news, I think, and it seems to me that this is a huge step towards the mass adoption of Bitcoin because even a smartphone that supports Bitcoin is already coming out. it seems to me that the market is moving in the right direction
Yes, I like the idea of a smartphone with a built-in bitcoin wallet and heightened security measures from hackers. I also read that it will be possible to store altcoins there. This is generally good, since I often use a smartphone to work with cryptocurrency.
That is not anything new, it will just be an Android phone with some internal features which can be accessible by any phone. It will not be a great success.
I have just looked at their site, and This could be a really big deal, the phone looks good and it's spec's are also pretty good. They are taking preorders and it looks like deposits can be paid with Ether. If it works out I for one will probably be getting one. It could be the thing that brings crypto mainstream.
The start-up Sirin and the electronics giant Foxconn are planning a smartphone with a built-in digital wallet. This should be much easier - but the mobile phone will not be cheap.
Virtual money like Bitcoin and the smartphone - this is not a real love, on the contrary. Recently, there have been increasing warnings that cybercriminals are not only attacking PCs to illegally dig cryptocurrencies, but also mobile phones. Now a start-up and a large contract manufacturer want to make it clear to the consumer that the combination of Bitcoin and smartphone can also have their good and safe sides.
The Swiss-Israel company Sirin Labs and the Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which among other things manufactures iPhones for Apple, are planning the first smartphone with blockchain technology. So with the technology that forms the basis of all virtual currencies. Thus, the crypto will finally mass market suitable, says Sirin founder and co-CEO Moshe Hogeg. The device, jointly developed by Sirin and Foxconn called Finney is said to facilitate transactions with digital money and provide protection against hacker attacks.
Use physical switches to access the wallet
The two companies are counting on the fact that there are currently millions of Bitcoin owners, but only a few use Bitcoin for day-to-day business. The complicated technology makes this unattractive. To prevent theft, Bitcoin payers must keep their assets on special memory sticks until needed. Then remember to remember complicated usernames and passwords that can be many characters long. An uncomfortable thing that gets in the way of a really big spread. "No chance my mother will find out how to use Bitcoin. And my mother is smart, "says Sirin boss Hogeg.

With a smartphone that basically everyone can carry in their pocket, everything should be much easier. With the Blockchain mobile phone, for example, users should be able to shop on crypto-friendly websites. This promises a high level of security. Finney devices - under this brand, smartphones and PCs are planned - are the first to rely on the applicable as uncrackable Blockchain Technik. They run under the widespread mobile operating system Android, in conjunction with special cybersecurity technologies. With the help of its own physical switch, the owners should be able to cut off online access to the built-in digital purse ("wallet") and thus hinder hacker attacks. This so-called "cold wallet" is considered safer than a "hot wallet" that can be accessed anytime via the internet.
Competitors are also involved
Sirin has already raised hundreds of millions of dollars in project development from investors: 158 million USD in December, and another 70 million USD recently. The Bitcoin smartphone is expected to hit the market in October 2018. First, it wants to market it through its own stores, later on via telecommunications companies. The device is not cheap. Initially, 999 USD are targeted; Later, license agreements with other cell phone producers should push this price down to 200 USD. Among other things, Sirin is in talks with Huawei.
Meanwhile, others have discovered the charm of a blockchain phone - competitors like Zippie and Bitvault. Nevertheless, analysts rate the prospects of success quite ambiguous. On the one hand, the use of Bitcoin is still very limited, on the other hand, there is a danger of constantly carrying its virtual money with it. Criminals could kidnap Finney owners and forcibly gain access to the virtual wallets, so the fear.

Then this should be great for all of those people who uses cryptocurencies, but I doubt that this would be successful since less people will be buying this unless there will be some sponsors.
This would be a disruptive and game changer move in this history of Bitcoin. A bitcoin smartphone would enhance the popularity and awareness of the currency and would also make it easier for the investors to access and keep an eye on their bitcoins on a regular basis and would be very handy. As far as the announcement is concerned, HTC has announced this upcoming project at the Consensus Conference held in New York City.
right. with this news, most important thing is to widely introduce public to access bitcoin using smartphones, hopefully the price of smartphone can be affordable, so btc will be more widely known

I noticed that really powerful companies roll out their technologies much later than others, because they do not chase novelty. and it's great
This can be very noticeable if bitcoin smartphones come out because this will simplify a lot of bitcoin investors and they will find it easy to access their bitcoin. As we all know, everyone will have a smartphone at this moment, they will need a smartphone for their daily life.
This would be great and also continue to facilitate transactions made with bitcoin. I can not wait to see this smartphone being produced so we can start using it.

one of the forms of legality is bitcoin in several countries, which seems to make it easier for us to work in various ways instantly, but if indeed this happens and is successfully published, the possibility of strong resistance from some countries that do not allow bitcoin is published.

Yes, this is a great thing that I heard. And certainly this is going to attract a lot of people. Specifically, HTC revealed plans to launch the Blockchain smartphone
As far as I know, HTC Vive founder Phil Chen has announced the upcoming project at the Consensus Conference in New York City. Chen emphasized that the upcoming phone will support many blockchain protocols, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lightning Network (LN), and the Dfinity network.
According to PCMag's May 15 report, the consumer electronics giant HTC has unveiled its first ""blockchain phone"", the HTC Exodus, with support for multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Amazing!! its going to become famous as more and more people would like to use the smartphone. technology never ceases to amazes me.i am waiting for it coming .goodluck to bitcoin smartphone.
If its true well it will be very helpfull to us to use this phone and it will be very useful. The user of this phone would not find hard in these phone especially to the bitcoin user. In my opinion it is a good idea but I don’t think that it will famous just like other phones
It will not be very successful as there are already safer options to store bitcoins. If a company like iPhone is involved, then this is something different.
iPhone is not a company, it is a product. Apple designs and manufactures iPhones and it doesn't seem like they are interested in making their devices more appealing to cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Of course there are many other secure ways to store bitcoins but people prefer to choose the most convenient ones which is not good.
Wether apple will participate or not the most important thing is the new innovations that will involve bitcoin, for now I think no popular companies are expressing interests for bitcoin, hope soon there will be more interested companies.
People like to buy smartphone with brandname. If they will buy something another, it must be very cool something, therefore I do not think, than new company can come in the mobile smartphone market now. It costs a lot, they need expensive advertising, dealers in each country etc.
I'm not sure this is safe. It is better to keep money in a cold wallet than in a smartphone. And if there is a need, you can pay off the application.
