Coinkite Blockclock Micro
Smaller sibling of the Mini — price, block height and sats/dollar in a compact display.
Overview
The Coinkite Blockclock Micro is the smaller, more affordable sibling of the Blockclock Mini. It delivers the same core idea — a dedicated device that shows live Bitcoin price, block height and sats-per-dollar — in a compact LED format at roughly $175 instead of the Mini's premium eInk price. It's the entry point for anyone who likes the Blockclock concept but doesn't want to spend on the flagship.
The appeal is getting glanceable Bitcoin stats on your desk or shelf for well under half the Mini's cost. It's small, simple and does its one job. The trade-offs are the same networked-gadget caveats plus a step down in presentation: the LED display is less refined and lower-resolution than the Mini's eInk panel, and like the Mini it needs Wi-Fi and pulls price data from an external API. It stores no keys and is decor, not a security device.
Buy it if you want the Blockclock experience at a friendlier price and don't mind an LED look over eInk. If you want the best display quality and a more giftable premium object, step up to the Mini; if you only care about the data, your own node or a free app covers it.

Coinkite Blockclock Micro: frequently asked questions
How is it different from the Mini?
The Micro uses a smaller LED display and costs less; the Mini has a larger, higher-quality eInk panel and a more premium build.
Does it need internet?
Yes. It connects over Wi-Fi and fetches price data from an external API, so it's not offline or trustless.
Does it hold Bitcoin?
No. It's a display only — no keys, no funds, no wallet functionality.
Is the LED display as nice as eInk?
It's more basic. eInk on the Mini is crisper and lower-glare; the Micro trades presentation for a lower price.
