We’ve got a $35 Firefox OS phoneOne of the most important tech stories in the coming years will be the bridging of the "digital divide." Only one-third of the world is online, which leaves about 4.8 billion people unplugged with no way to access the Web. A lot of work needs to be done on the ISP side, but people in these poorer countries will need devices, too.http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/09/weve-got-a-35-firefox-os-phone-what-do-you-want-to-know/#p3

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.)

Good news. One thing we need for bitcoin adoption is cheap and affordable smart phones for people in the developing world.

I actually like Firefox OS compared to some of the other new OSs being released. It is very smooth and intuitive. I think it will be a success. The phone on the other hand seems to be a disappointment. I would just find a cheap higher spec model on EBay and load it up with FireFox OS.

It's gonna be a bit of a disappointment with such a low price tag. If people want luxury or specs they're going to have to pay a premium. |

True, but im too paranoid so i need qt. bitcoin-qt (or bitcoin core as it's known now) currently needs 20+GB of space for the blockchain and is incredibly CPU and IO intensive, too much for most low-end PC's nowadays. I doubt it'll run on a mobile device. |
