HTC Exodus, Blockchain Phone, Comes with Offline Cold Storage
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on July 15, 2018, 5:37 PMIt seems HTC Exodus, the extremely hyped blockchain-anchored smartphone from HTC, may be different. Yes, it would have an offline "cold storage", reports Fortune on a Verge piece.
It got an awful lot of hype when first announced in May, but now HTC appears to be scaling back expectations for its so-called blockchain phone, the HTC Exodus. The phone, coming by year end, won't be able to mine for digital currencies but will have an offline "cold storage" wallet to hold cryptocurrency, the company told the Verge this week. There will also be some kind of partnership with CryptoKitties.
Largely, HTC may not make much out of this. Blockchain-based phone is more than 5 years away. Not many people right now will find it useful. But the company can use the buzz to raise money from those fanatical of crypto and blockchain.
