I still do not see the purpose of this 21 machine, at least for ordinary crypto users. Anyone who can shed some light, pls do.

No way. Too expensive, even for a toy I heard there starting to ship. Anybody getting one and what are you planning on using it for?
I still do not see the purpose of this 21 machine, at least for ordinary crypto users. Anyone who can shed some light, pls do. I don't really see a purpose for anyone, unless one wants to have something, different, a novelty

It's more suitable for developers and I don't see really the point for a regular user to purchase this product and to add to that, it's really over price with the specs it has so if your not a developer then you better look away but overall it's nice to see the first BTCitcoin computer popping out finally Some info's incase someone needs it: http://www.amazon.com/21-INC-21BC1-Bitcoin-Computer/dp/B014RD021C

Beside the actual practical use, I would just collect an item of each of those Bitcoin related technologies. I am under the impresion that in some years, the first miners, this thing, trezor.. will be really valuable collector items.

I'm confused. I never knew hardware had anything to do with firing off and listening to txs over the bitcoin network.
Whatever, all the best to them I guess. Quite the gimmick though.

the problem is the price of this device ... you can build an atom motherboard+RAM+SSD and 12v 10A supply for less and buy an U3 after this (on the same supply).

And you could make U3 run on rpi with no difficulty and little to no technical knowledge. Also I don't think the purpose of this machine is to get revenue from mining as much as utilizing smart contracts. So the average cryptocurrency user would have actually nothing to do with it. The hashing power of that machine is so low, that it won't likely roi on itself. But we never know, now do we. I'm not the target audience for this product so I think I'll skip this one for now. Maybe future.

It's all about convenience & the API guys.
This is a dev kit. It is not addressed to regular consumers

What are you talking about? It is the dumbest fucking product ever. 21 says: 'it is intended to give you a steady stream of bitcoins'. WTF?? A $3 block erupter does the same thing. Calling it a 'dev kit' does nothing to improve its utility. That damn thing does nothing and it is fuck-all expensive. How can it be that the company that raised the most money has only produced this piece of shit after over 1 year? If this is what bitcoiners think about business, we are all fucked. What kind of genius invested $100M+ in 21?

I've read about it, too expensive in my opinion
I can spend my money more wisely rather than spending it on this 21 bitcoin computer

If it's a dev kit... Then why not just buy an Raspberry PI 2 or an Arduino? They are cheap, awesome and has community support.

Is this like the time you were a neo-Nazi? Just testing the waters a bit are you?

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.
