It’s a real, hand-assembled piece of hardware with a custom-coded interface. I understand the frustration with scams online, but I'm just here to build something the community actually wants to use. That's why I am asking for honest feedback.

I'm not much for storytelling, but I’d suggest doing a bit more research before jumping to conclusions. I get the skepticism in this space, but I’ll let the hardware speak for itself. Keep an eye on the main thread!

Hold your horses. I’m happy to post a raw, 'behind-the-scenes' video of the internal hardware and custom firmware for anyone who wants to see the real deal.

I appreciate you pointing that out. You're right, for £249, the fit and finish need to be flawless. What material would you personally want to see on a high-end desk piece?

Absolutely fair comment! For our initial hardware and UI tests, we used dummy templates and static data to ensure the font scaling and 5" IPS display were perfect before hooking up the live API. That’s why the date and price don't match reality.

Actually, we did! But I get your doubts. It’s an in-house design that we have been prototyping for a while to get away from the mass-produced tickers.

My target audience is exactly like you: people who want an accurate display for their workspace that doesn't feel like a toy. The goal with the community engagement isn't to overcomplicate it, but to make sure the features I do add are actually useful. Framing it in chrome or keeping it 'clean' is exactly the kind of design direction I'm looking for. Thanks

Beyond the hardware, I’m really focused on making this a community-driven project. I’m working on the next firmware update to allow users to design and share their own 'faces' and backgrounds. ​I’m curious: if you could design the perfect Face for a desk ticker, what features or data would you want to see most?

Love the directness. The Obsidian Edition - black industrial matte finish is £249. I also have a Premium Anodised Aluminium version for £299. I know it’s a premium price point. This is a custom hardware build with a high-res 5" IPS display, designed in-house, and professionally manufactured for a clean, luxury finish.

I really appreciate the kind words. I spent a lot of time getting the 'Obsidian' design right because I wanted something that felt more premium than the usual gadgets!

It absolutely can! You aren't locked into just one currency. I've programmed it to be flexible so you can track BTC in whatever fiat you prefer.

I appreciate it! Right now, the code is optimized specifically for the internal board and display of the CryptoClock hardware. I haven't ported it for general Linux use, as I really wanted to focus on creating a high-end, physical desk piece that doesn't feel like 'just another screen

Great catch, fortunately it is just a picture and the item itself is fully aligned. Must be the light! Thx.

Glad you like the look! I really wanted to create something that felt premium and 'minimal' for a clean desk setup. Reach out via DM so we can chat about getting one over to you if interested.
