Sirin Labs, developer of the ultra-secure $14,000 mobile phone Solarin, has pivoted from luxury to mass market devices and is conducting a crowdsale to support its latest development: Finney, the first open-source, cyber-protected, blockchain-enabled smartphone and PC.
Sirin Labs was founded in 2014, and in 2016 launched the Solarin, a highly secure, high-end smartphone that incorporates state-of-the-art hardware and software security to provide 24/7 cyber protection, including a private zone for encrypted calls and messages. The company is now utilizing its technology to make the same level of security more readily available (and affordable) to holders of crypto currencies and assets, and to create a secure and efficient network of decentralized apps and services that connect the devices and enable peer-to-peer resource sharing managed with micro-payments.
The Finney smartphone, with a target price of ~$999, will feature a 5.2-inch QHD display, 256GB of internal memory storage, 8GB RAM, a 16MP main camera, and a 12MP wide-angle selfie camera. The Finney PC, a thin client with a target price of ~$799, will feature a 24” 2K display, 8GB memory, 256GB storage, and biometric security sensors; additional computational power (GPU/CPU/RAM) will be available via a P2P resource sharing protocol or a cloud based service
