I'm Not Crazy, HTC Is Working On A Blockchain Phone!
Sweet. I made a post the other day about the future of blockchain and how phones could make good wallets.  And here we are with HTC announcing a phone that will be blockchain ready. According to the post it will have a cold wallet and it be ready to run dapps (I'm guessing ones made for the phone because dapps should work on any phone). And you can even use the phone as a node itself. What!

This is the future of cell phone technology. I want to see this with steem. Think of a phone that has steemit already installed on it, a wallet to hold your steem and a method to make easy payments. It is one way to make the crypto-world convenient for the masses. Then you can sell a bunch of phones to people around the world. Who do we team up with to make steem powered phones?

Okay I am getting ahead of myself... or am I, HTC doesn't think so.

Here is the link for more info:

I am also sceptical, once you have some Bitcoins in your wallet I am not sure if you want to carry the phone with you outside. I would probably prefer to have it on a ledger at my bank box.

On the other hand, for quick funds transfer in a world that accepts crypto for general payments, this would indeed be a big step. It could be NFC / ApplePay 2.0

That's right, the future is here !. I read earlier this year about the phone presented by SIKUR, with an integrated cryptocurrency wallet. It has the ability to store cryptocurrencies in the Sikur cloud and is hack-proof for Bitcoins. Another news, Sirin Labs unveiled to blockchain-powered phone, the Finney phone will also let you store and shop with virtual currencies.

Making a phone that's a Bitcoin or Ethereum full node is very difficult. Not sure how do they plan to do this. Some sort of light client protocol?

I find phone wallets sketchy because.

i could easily lose my phone

phones break faster than computers

and phones are easier to hack into, or get stolen.


But i know you can get security for these things and backups.


But the real problem is that i would be without my wallet until i get a new phone xD
