According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I will say that this phone makes a lot of sense for anyone who is truly serious about Bitcoin which is why, I supported this project on the very first day with a phone purchase. Why because this phone is not just innovation it is truly revolutionary. It becomes a full fledged Ubuntu desktop when it is connected to a monitor perfectly capable of running a full Bitcoin node. More importantly because Ubuntu contains third party GPL v3 code this phone and any other phone running Ubuntu desktop / phone OS must be rooted. This is critical for Bitcoin because it will make it impossible for a manufacturer or a state to use the DRM in the device to censor Bitcoin as Apple has already done with IOS on the iPhone and iPad. When one considers that most mobile devices today are sold locked and infected with DRM, IOS, Windows RT and even Android with no root access are common examples, it becomes clear why it is very much in the interest of the Bitcoin community that the Ubuntu Edge project be a success. Let us not forget that the entire security model of Bitcoin is totally dependent on software and hardware freedom, so supporting this project is not just supporting a good cause but investing in the future security of Bitcoin. So I say we should support this project for among other reasons to protect Bitcoin from the kind of censorship Apple has already done or another manufacturer or state may choose to do in the future. By the way the phone specifications are simply awesome and well worth the 830 USD price. Here is the link for the Ubutnu-Edge http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge |

If you feel the need to bump this thread every day (that it doesn't gain an organic post) then maybe you should edit the OP to remove your affiliate link from the URL. My apologies if that isn't an affiliate link, but it sure looks like one. |
Sam Spade: We were talking about a lot more money than this.
Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.

I had no idea you could make this phone work with your bitcoin, but now that I know that I hope more bitcoiners spread the word! It will run all GNU/Linux FLOSS desktop Bticoin wallets and also all mobile Android wallets. The amount of storage 128 GB will handle a full node. So one could for example run a full Bitcoin node on this phone. It will not on the other hand work for something like Solidcoin since the latter uses a proprietary binary. The key here is that x86 / AMD64 is source compatible but not binary compatible with ARM. So as far as FLOSS is concerned it can provide the desktop GNU/Linux experience. |

This idea looks really great. I'm really excited what the people are going to say about this. Don't have enough money to buy one myself though  |
No signature ad here, because their conditions have become annoying.

Great idea, fingers crossed it won't have an NSA/PRISM backdoor like Android.

Doesn't look like they're going to make it. A real shame, too.
