Most ICO's these days are centered around "potential" applications mostly dealing with software.... don't get me wrong some are pretty darn cool, but Sirin Labs has a real winner here, in my opinion. I am no expert, but just look at the trend of all the people piling into the Crypto world seemingly over night. One of the biggest issues that plagues the Crypto world is security, and if a company figured out how to give the masses a little extra security edge, I think Sirin Labs is on the right track.
Sirin is the company that was behind the $14,000 super-secure Solarin phone that was a little out of reach for your average consumer, and most consumers just want a phone that is safe enough for what they use it for. Some people may have thought in the back of their mind, oh well... I guess if someone hacked my phone and got aunt Ednas phone number, no big deal.
In steps... the Cryptocurrency revolution... Now people are trusting their phones and PC's with thousands and even millions of dollars worth of Crypto and Crypto transactions, the Solarin may have been a little ahead of its time, but consumers want and NEED the new Finney devices today... I know, I do...
The Finney devices are a homage to Hal Finney, the computer scientist who received the first Bitcoin transaction.
The company is looking at a target price of about $1,000 for the phone and $800 for the PC, both of which run a forked version of Android called Shield OS and Sirin Labs Cyber Protection Suite. Perfect for people who are using Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, some of the features include: Secure P2P sharing, built-in crypto wallet, tamper proof verification, secure text and emails, biometric authentication, and a behavioral-based Intrusion Prevention System to stop device attacks. The phone has a 5.2-inch screen with a 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, a 16-megapixel rear camera, and a 12-megapixel wide-angle selfie camera. The new iPhone 8 is supposed to start around $1,000 and has a few of these features, but I will certainly trust Sirin Labs a lot more with security than I will trust Apple.
The interesting twist to the entire concept is that you will not be able to use cash or credit cards to buy the Finney devices, and I am sure there will be many more devices to come. You will need SRN tokens, which will be the currency on the Finney Blockchain. Most ICO's are centered around creating a token that may or may not appreciate and investors making gains then changing the Crypto back to Fiat. In this model people will purchase tokens to get these cool devices, I know I will:-)
P.S. Sirin Labs list IOTA, Status, Alignment and Bancor as partners:-)
