I doubt we’ll see a mass market blockchain phone for two reasons:
1) blockchain adds overhead. Mobile is about efficiency
2) blockchains are only necessary for adversarial collaboration. Your phone is wholly owned and controlled by you, so there’s no need to host adversarial realities on it.
- TomK32 9y agoad 1) with a lot of people having more than one device, why not a block-chain app between just your devices to make sure information is shared between them correctly? It's all about finding a valid use-case, barely anyone does though.
- mkirklions 9y ago> why not a block-chain app between just your devices to make sure information is shared between them correctly Blockchain is ONLY a public verified ledger. A peer to peer blockchain is not public verified. This is running a server on your phone.
- mywittyname 9y agoYou don't need a block chain to do this. Every iPhone and Android have this capability and it works quite well.
- sova 9y ago+1 for "Find a Valid Use Case" there are many, indeed. It may take many moons, keep digging!
- vernon99 9y ago1) Light blockchain clients? 2) Umm really? Controlled by you? Not by Apple and Google who censor software (crypto as well) and such? A bunch of companies are doing exactly that right now (can’t recall from the top of my head) and I honestly wish them all the best as the current walled garden situation is obscene.
- wmf 9y agoThe whole point of buzzwords is that you don't actually do what you're saying. So the ChainPhone wouldn't use a blockchain at all.
