We’re happy to announce that the 21 Bitcoin Computer is now officially shipping to its first destination outside of the United States. You can now get started with the easiest way to learn Bitcoin, mine BTC from the command line, and create Bitcoin-powered applications. For instance, you can:
- Set up a bitcoin-payable translation endpoint, to automatically convert English-to-French or English-to-Chinese
- Host and sell digital goods that are as varied as your Instagram pictures, e-books, or Soundcloud recordings
- Set up an intelligent agent that can identify and transact digital goods with buyers internationally for small amounts of digital cash
- Build simple grid computing applications based on Bitcoin micropayments
For those in Canada, shipping internationally is a first step for us as we look to build the foundations of a machine-payable web, where borderless currencies like Bitcoin can thrive. And for those outside of the US or Canada, we’ll be opening up new territories for shipping over the next few weeks. In either case, you can order your Bitcoin Computer today at 21.co/buy!
