Update from the Volareo Team – Project is being put on hold for now. Waiting on further updates from the team. 

 

I am not affiliated with Volareo in any way, I am only an interested customer and am excited about the potential that the device they are selling offers.So,

 

Why I am looking into getting a Volareo blockchain speaker?

I have been looking at the various smart home assistants, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Smart home and well, all the smart home initiatives and products that all the big tech companies are pushing out to consumers lately.
I have already picked up a Google Home Mini, using a Roku 3, Chromecast at home, so why am I keen to explore this device?
Well, a few key reasons:

1. Sound/ Music – Sound music speaker that also has a Smart Assistant. It is Open Source and built on top of Musicoin which is the only live music streaming system with a blockchain
2. Smart enable your TV (via HDMI) – to give it voice controls. It’s the only one on the market that does that. Essentially, it is a speaker that doubles Android TV box as well.
3. The speaker that doesn’t spy on you

They are pitching it as the following, but the above are my personal highlights. As some of the following are more “nice to have” features, as at the end of the day, you need the device to perform it’s core purpose, which in this case is provide 1) sound/ music + 2) smart enable your TV.
