Even if every bitcoin user in the world bought one, chances of being able to connect to the adhoc network would still be.. ~zero.
Thank you for your unsupported layman's opinion. As for those of us who actually know a thing or two about radio telemetry & propagation, we've been providing actual facts on this kind of device for longer than most of you in this thread have even known what a bitcoin was. EDIT: I've literally bounced a 2 watt signal off the F level of the ionosphere and was heard over 200 miles away from my position; and actual line-of-sight distance of at least 350 miles up and down. Granted, that was with some high quality gear that wouldn't fit in my wallet to save my life; but for someone who's only experiences with low-power digital telemetry involves the wifi scanner app on his smartphone to tell me it-just can't-be-done is offensive. QRP For the win!  You work skip a lot ? Are you working in the 11 metre band ? The sun is near maximum, a lot happening on skywave proprogation If your using 2 watts though, Im guessing your lower mhz than the 11 metre band ? 40 meters, just after dark. No I don't do it often, and intentionally skipping in the CB band is illegal. I have a ham radio license. Of course its illegal, but everyone does it, Hell, its hard not to accidently and its never enforced up here in Canada.. I use to fool around with the 2 metre band, and the local repeaters when I was much younger.. Whats your call sign ? |

Guys, you're asking all the wrong questions.
Who cares if Charlie said it's real. Who cares if it is real.
The questions you should be asking are:
3 people with this and no one with the internet != Bitcoin.
As the inventor of a similar yet less overly-hyped device, I say it doesn't have a chance in a real world but it's an AWESOME technology just the same and I applaud the show, but I don't see it becoming anything more than that honestly.
Which ISM band has a lot to do with how much juice it needs.. I would assume 2.4, but the lower the better.. If it's a dash7 device, it uses 433 mhz. Oh, thanks.. was curious, that could easily be feasible then, 433 travels well.. lower than I expected, but hoped for.. |

- Why isn't Charlie beaming about the bitcoin sending functionality?
- Why isn't anyone bothering to talk about how ridiculous the ISM band is?
- Why does anyone believe that it will have enough energy to not need a charge?
- Why does anyone believe that it would have enough energy to use that radioband constantly and not need a charge?
- At what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?
- Does anyone actually believe that just because it doesn't allow software and uses an ad-hoc network, that requiring an additional custom node to connect it to the internet makes any sense at all?
- At what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?
- At what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?
- And most importantly, at what point does it connect to the blockchain and actually update?

Gotcha! your a non believer.. give it up bud..
So I have to be a true believer for your "arguments" to work? That explains a whole lot. No, you just have to have an open mind.. and a slight knowledge of current tech. Im sorry you dont..  btw, did you hear they landed on the moon ? |

Moller skycar..
Next question ?
If that's a flying car then what you'll get when you ask for that card is a mobile phone. Gotcha! your a non believer.. give it up bud.. You argument is stupid. And my time is too valuable to waste on your pathetic mission to prove your right. I guess all your cars you own look like this still, right ?  |

The solar panel, can be thinner than a piece of paper..
The screen same thing..
The touch membrane on a screen.. thinner than paper..
The "battery" would be a capacitor, these come in ALL shapes, thickness's and sizes..
Actually, there is a new type of capacitive touch screen that is actually a solar panel itself, so that you can let your phone charge by simply placing it on the table face up and letting the screen time out. Yes! finally someone on top of the PV and screen tech! |

No..
Building anything only takes money..
If you had included "and time" it might have been closer to the truth, but still completely meaningless. Yes, I will hold you hand for you, its ok, I will spell out all the obvious things I missed, just so you can understand.. And time.. because, you know, nothing takes time right ?  |

This lacks the touchscreen,the battery that would be necessary and the solar panels(IE all the big things) Note to self, gamer has no imagination... Do you still think of batteries as a round cylinder ? I think you dont know enough about the actual tech you think is so sci-fi The solar panel, can be thinner than a piece of paper.. The screen same thing.. The touch membrane on a screen.. thinner than paper.. The "battery" would be a capacitor, these come in ALL shapes, thickness's and sizes.. |
