@lucifer_ That project is interesting. It seems to be like a "wallet" that can store your cryptocurrency from what im reading. Apart from that the specs arent too bad but i still wouldnt spending so much cash for such a phone just for the sole purpose of cryptocurrency mining. Plus it is good to wait and see what might come next that might be even better before we jump on the wagon.

@bunyonb apparently you can use it only for their own cryptocurrency that's a bummer but still definitely start of something interesting.

ESPA reminder standing the phone might not use any SIM card for connectivity rather it would use only internet and then it will use the other blockchain mobile phone connected nearby to send and receive calls and messages to transmit the data
