Coinkite lists it as a long lead item and notes in the clocks description that lead times may vary  no delivery date guarantees due to high demand. The devices main website also has a big button to Reserve Now <3 that points to Coinkites store, which doesnt fill me with confidence. <\/p>\n<p>Also, its $399.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See original here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/3\/25\/22350705\/jack-dorsey-bitcoin-clock-house-hearing-blockclock-mini\" title=\"Jack Dorsey wants the entire world to know hes got a bitcoin clock - The Verge\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Dorsey wants the entire world to know hes got a bitcoin clock - The Verge<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> If youre watching Thursdays House hearing on misinformation, where Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai are testifying, you might have noticed a clock-like device prominently displayed over Dorseys right shoulder.
