I ordered the dev kit early on, got charged for it, now waiting anxiously to have it show up. Nice to hear they are moving along. I really think that something like this is a solid answer to some of the vulnerabilities in the current card system and for a subset of identity problems. My interest is in solving one such subset which is this:

At the time of account creation, create means by which both the web site and the user can prove unequivocally at a transaction later, that they are the same person who was there when the account was created.

Nothing about "who" they are, or "what" or "where", but just that the person or entity doing this transaction right now, is exactly the same as the person who created the account.
