Why you should consider the PundiX Phone
Technology is fast evolving and businesses are been built at the speed of thought,one may look back and wonder how much change has taken place in our world over the last two decades.
Human communication has been impacted heavily with innovations ranging from the television,radio,telephone and the internet.
One could look in amazement how telephones look like 50 years ago and what they were capable of.
Today there are more phones in our world than there are people,these devices are in the pockets of everyone.
It has changed how we do business,our we communcate,one could simply object against a government policy on their phones,date someone in a far away land and consume contents hosted in fat away nations.
On top of these mobile revolutions are heavy players who either build the hardware components of communications(like Samsung,Apple,Hauwei) or provide service that connect mobile owners together(Verizon, AT&T) and resource providers(app providers,website owners etc).
Many companies today including Samsung,LG and others are looking forward to building phones that leverages blockchain technology.
One of such projects is Function X,an offshoot of PundiX ecosystem.
PundiX is a blockchain company that specializes in building point of sales machines and cards to enable people buy,sell crypto and also make purchases with their crypto.
It is already functional and running.
FunctionX according to a Press release on Prnewswire.com
“Unlike other blockchain powered phones still in development,XPhone can operate independently of centralized carriers,users can route phone calls and messages via blockchain nodes without the need for phone numbers.
The phone comes with two operating systems: a function X OS and an OS built on android 9.0
You can toggle between each OS by pressing the X button on the side.
The blockchain mode ensures that users data are encrypted and safe.
The dream according to FunctionX is to make everything decentralized,the user gets to own everything,in Function X one share any file with anyone and whenever the owner deletes that file,the state is updated and all other devices that has the file will have that file deleted as well.
To use the phone
First,you have to register the phone on the blockchain and ensure to secure and record your recovery seed phrase just like you do with an ETH or BTC wallet.
You get to see different nodes with credibility scores that you may hook up to.
Secondly,you create a unique node name
Similar to a domain name system,you have to create a unique name that can be used to reference you(this is called Node Name System in Function X).
After this,users can now call and reach you.
Supposingly you unique name is James123,and Peter98 wishes to communicate with you on the blockchain without a mobile carrier.
