Guide to HTC’s blockchain phone called Exodus perfect to play real money pokies in BTC
HTC had announced few months back that it is working on a blockchain phone called the HTC Exodus. It is expected that HTC will release this phone at the end of this year. HTC isn’t the only established company making a play for the cryptocurrency space right now: web browser company Opera has just announced it’s releasing a new version of its Android browser that features a built-in crypto wallet. The new app is called Opera with Crypto Wallet and its available in private beta for now.
With dedicated hardware that allows you to use the phone as a cold wallet for your cryptocurrency, and software for decentralized apps, HTC says every Exodus smartphone will also serve as a node, which the company claims could “double and triple the number of nodes of Ethereum and Bitcoin.” The browser supports Ethereum Dapps (decentralized apps), allowing you to pay for goods and services uses the Ethereum currency which means now making a deposit to play real money pokies with HTC is more valuable.
According to Opera it chose Ethereum because it has a large community of Dapps and features a Web3 API that allowed the company to integrate the technology into the browser in a way that makes it easy for users to send money to other wallets or make payments to online merchants that use the Coinbase Commerce system. Eventually the company could add support for other digital currencies.
In terms of security and privacy, the keys are all stored on a user’s phone and users need to grant permission for each site requesting access to a wallet. Instead of a PIN code or password, the browser “relies on Android’s secure system lock to sign transactions so users don’t have to learn any new codes to use the wallet.”
Cryptocurrencies have become a multi-billion dollar business in recent years and have become a popular deposit mode to play pokies at online casinos and such user-friendly devices and apps like the HTC Exodus and Opera with Crypto Wallet would help the gamers to process the BTC transaction with their HTC mobile with ease.
Cryptokitties game with HTC Exodus
In partnership with CryptoKitties this cryptocurrency wallet, HTC claims, will be the first ‘cold wallet’, which in context to Bitcoins, refers to keeping some of the currency offline. CryptoKitties, meanwhile, is an attempt to use blockchain technology for fun; the very popular game allows players to purchase, collect, breed and sell various types of virtual cats. Now teaming up with HTC, the game will get an Android mobile app version that will be made available on the HTC U12+ smartphone, later making its way to Exodus. It’s not clear if other brands will also host the game. HTC’s blockchain phone Exodus will come with CryptoKitties as hoped this year. It appears that HTC is looking to make all its devices blockchain-friendly, not just the Exodus.

Exodus is described by its makers as ‘the world’s first phone dedicated to decentralized applications and security.” HTC Exodus will thus feature a secure hardware system designed to support cryptocurrency and provide direct trading between peers with no additional fees and no cloud.
