It allows a user to sell anything to anyone for a Bitcoin with the built-in 21 Micropayments Server.

For just $US399.99, the 21 Bitcoin Computer gives you your very own Bitcoin coprocessor, complete with command line interface, a 128 GB SD card pre-loaded with a copy of the Blockchain, software, Wi-Fi and USB cable, power supply, and a Raspberry Pi (the latter meaning once you’ve got sick of waiting for riches, you can at least do something useful with it).

“We want to make it possible for you to turn your bright idea into passive income by selling bitcoin-payable goods, games, and services over the Internet through a 21 Bitcoin Computer.”

21’s CEO Balaji Srinivasan expects developers to create services that can be monetized in bitcoin. In March it announced the impressive list of investors including Andreessen Horowitz and RRE Venture, Qualcomm Inc., founders of giants PayPal, Dropbox Inc., Expedia Inc. and some others. Although it doesn’t look pretty, the device will be marketed and sold to consumers this fall and will allow users to mine Bitcoin and also provide a means to buy and sell goods using the digital currency.

Retailing for $400, the 21 Bitcoin Computer will include a custom mining chip, a datacenter backend and a custom Linux-based operating system. “The thing that’s completely missing that I think would make the Internet better would be machine-to-machine payments”.

It’s really inspiring to see that the company doesn’t rest on its laurels and continues scaling new heights in bitcoin industry.

In his interview with the Wall Street Journal, Horowitz compared the 21 Bitcoin Computer’s potential to early Web browsers and his time helping develop Netscape in the 1990s.

Bearing the name 21 Bitcoin Computer, it can boast of bitcoin built in as an integral part in every single piece of content. Pocket size of the device enables bitcoin developers to make bitcoin transactions without taking their mind off daily routine.
