Title: [2015-11-26] The 21 Bitcoin Computer is a Gamechanger Post by: LiteCoinGuy on November 26, 2015, 04:04:55 PM The 21 Bitcoin Computer is a Gamechanger
Advertised as “the first computer with native hardware and software support for the Bitcoin protocol” the 21.co Bitcoin Computer is the first of its kind and will catalyze a host of unforeseen use-cases for the bitcoin blockchain. The first product from the startup founded by Balaji Srinivasan, CEO and board partner at Andreessen Horowitz, (there are some valuable videos posted at the end of this post that will give context to some of the vision behind this company) 21.co has raised over $116 million dollars, from an impressive array of backers including but not limited to Qualcomm Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Data Collective, Khosla Ventures, RRE Ventures, Yuan Capital, Jeff Skoll and Peter Thiel. https://rywalk.wordpress.com/2015/11/26/the-21-bitcoin-computer-is-a-gamechanger/ Title: Re: [2015-11-26] The 21 Bitcoin Computer is a Gamechanger Post by: Kprawn on November 26, 2015, 05:13:30 PM Would it not be cheaper to simply buy this instead? ---> https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero/ .... I have also been trying to get a answer to another question,
"What client is this running?" I can see why they swapped marketing this as a developer toolkit, because it sucks as a miner platform. ;) Let's hope some killer application will be generated from this hardware, because it will surely justify it's contribution, if it did spawn something BIG. ;D |
