Topic: The Ubuntu Edge - Simply put, Innovation. - page 2. (Read 2728 times)

I will say that this phone makes a lot of sense for anyone who is truly serious about Bitcoin which is why, I supported this project on the very first day with a phone purchase. Why because this phone is not just innovation it is truly revolutionary. It becomes a full fledged Ubuntu desktop when it is connected to a monitor perfectly capable of running a full Bitcoin node. More importantly because Ubuntu contains third party GPL v3 code this phone and any other phone running Ubuntu desktop / phone OS must be rooted. This is critical for Bitcoin because it will make it impossible for a manufacturer or a state to use the DRM in the device to censor Bitcoin as Apple has already done with  IOS on the iPhone and iPad. When one considers that most mobile devices today are sold locked and infected with DRM, IOS, Windows RT and even Android with no root access are common examples, it becomes clear why it is very much in the interest of the Bitcoin community that the Ubuntu Edge project be a success. Let us not forget that the entire security model of Bitcoin is totally dependent on software and hardware freedom, so supporting this project is not just supporting a good cause but investing in the future security of Bitcoin.

So I say we should support this project for among other reasons to protect Bitcoin from the kind of censorship Apple has already done or another manufacturer or state may choose to do in the future.

By the way the phone specifications are simply awesome and well worth the 830 USD price.
