2. Telecom company Telx announces the world's first cryptocurrency SIM card

The cryptocurrency & telecommunications company Telx Technologies announced the launch of the world's first cryptocurrency SIM card wallet for SMS transactions. According to the company's August 22 news release, the card allows users to send encrypted currency via SMS and provide a dedicated encrypted phone number. It is worth noting that these transactions do not require a smartphone or an internet connection. On the other hand, the system also has no control over the user's encrypted wallet. However, in the “Key Proof” activity in January of this year, the decentralized wallet found obvious shortcomings. That is to say, the SIM card wallet will be used as a third party to manage the private key, thereby improving the user experience. The encrypted SIM card will be available in more than 180 countries, allowing unlimited SMS and support for BTC, LTC, Dash, ZEC and BCH. Recently, the company promised to do its utmost to prevent the security risks posed by SIM card exchange and phone number porting, accept only transactions from the correct SIM card, protect the wallet with a dedicated password, and provide a spare key when stolen or lost.
