For now the original SW seems to be a dead end.

The control center at the mycroft.ai account page doesn't let me install skills and even the settings of skills don't work (anymore).

My Mark 2 with the original #mycroftai software is at least usable but very limited in it's possibilities.

I was trying #mycroftai Mark 2 for the last couple of days.

The experience bringing the original software (Dinkum) online is straightforward and works like a charm.
You start the device, it asks you to join the wireless station named "Mycroft" where you can add your preferred WiFi credentials. You need to create an account at mycroft.ai first to be able to pari the device.

Afterwards you are able to control your Mark 2 using a web interface at mycroft.ai.

Have you had a look at #mycroftai ? I haven't used it personally, but always thought it was worth looking into.

It finally arrived, my own #mycroftai Mark II device.

After the Kickstarter campaign in 2018 I lost my money, but decided to go for it anyways.

I ordered a device in march this year and this is waht I got.

I will share my experiences with @mycroft_ai Mark II as I'm getting it to use.

Bit first let's see what is in the box...

Finally — Finally! — I have regular backups running again on my home network, using #BorgBackup .

Next computer project: #OpenPGP using #Yubikey . Then automatic signing of e-mails, then default use of the proxy server, then DKIM for my e-mail, then #mycroftai , then...

So sad to hear that #mycroftai is shutting down operations. I really loved the idea of a voice assistant that was local only. Kinda also wondering what this means for the #HomeAssistant Year of the Voice. #FOSS #opensource #fossdev #payfossdevs

@arsfeedbot .. how does anyone still fall for crowdfunding? I swore that off after a few burns many years ago.

Sorry to hear about #MycroftAI .. really wish they made it. This is an area where they probably needed real funding to overcome the up front costs to deliver a competitively priced product. At their current price point (and niche market) they just couldn’t compete.

With the death of #Mycroft AI, I'm wondering if anyone'll run with the open source for easily creating your own. The software for the next generation's been published and worked on via Github, so wouldn't surprise me, especially with an add-on for @homeassistant as an alternative to the Genie one that I can't seem to get working and the Google Assistant SDK you can't get a device ID for now. #homeautomation #mycroftai

@emacsen @mycroft_ai
That's awful. I was just looking at their website the other day, and apparently the company is more or less kaput: https://mycroft.ai/blog/update-from-the-ceo-part-1/ [0]

But it also says "all Mark II orders outstanding and those placed in the future will be delivered." So I understood that included the crowdfunding units.

[0] That update is labelled "Part 1", but eleven days later, there's no Part 2.

This is unfortunate news. Those of us that backed it get nothing. #mycroftai

Oh .. https://mycroft.ai/blog/update-from-the-ceo-part-1/ #mycroftai

My #MycroftAI Mark II's have shipped!

Can't believe I ordered four of the #OpenSource #Privacy-Focused #VoiceAssistant

I think I specced them differently back then, final shipping model is all the high spec version!

Yaaass! #MycroftAI #MarkII

@tylerb @evacide I was extremely unimpressed with the original #MycroftAI. But they reworked the entire thing including the hardware and re-launched like last week.

I watched a couple videos and for the price it still doesn't look like much...

@evacide Maybe it's time to take another look at #MycroftAI - I saw it a few years ago at a conference and it sounded promising. https://mycroft.ai/

@HoernchenCecile gibt es da nicht was von #mycroftai ?

@mycroft_ai .. if the #MycroftAI #MarkII was $299, you’d have a deal. At $349, it’s too steep for me.
