The company Sirin Labs, best known for their 14 000 dollar "privacy phone" is releasing a phone called "the Finney" a phone made for crypto transactions.

Features

  • Cold storage wallet built in

  • Specialized "safe screen" for transactions

  • Runs on a "forked" version of Android the company says is more secure

  • Token conversion service, as I understand it it holds coins in their coin SRN and converts them to the crypto of your choice. I'm not crazy about that.

  • Decentralized app store

  • When enough phones are sold, enable peer to peer transactions

  • Cost is going to be 1000 dollars and you need to use their token to buy it

Could be awesome, could be shit, hard to say. I'm interested in a phone with an exchange function, but having to use their SRN coin could be a deal breaker for me......

Seems like it will honestly be everywhere in a few years, looks like great tech, however I would wait for the first few hacks to go down. Cause that's going to happen lol great post buddy!

Be careful, I ordered the BitVault phone almost two years ago and it was a SCAM 😌
Don’t give your crypto away as I did 🤘😊👍
