so what are the device requirements for the end consumer (me) and then for your consumer (store/merchant)? If I get something like a keychain tag (like cvs, etc) whats the explicit advantage of this over barcode/scan ?
- auston 15y agoyou as the developer (cause they are the hypothetical consumer for us)? or you as a person who was given a tag? for our purposes here, we're like twilio in that developers are our target market. they then develop & sell solutions to businesses (like callloop.com does on top of twilio.com)

Any combo of readers, tags, etc NFC has many advantages over bar-codes which result in a much friendly end-user experience. No wrinkling, crinkling, smudging or any other ways of wrecking bar codes. Plus NFC can come in many form factors - plastic tags, sewn into clothing, or even ingestible pills. Also, NFC is being incorporated into mobile phones. Imagine a world where your iPhone could unlocked doors, replaced all those crappy frequent buyer cards, and pay for your meals. We think that sounds pretty cool.

Well, it's already replaced all my frequent buyer cards, but the other stuff means that I just have to worry about losing or having my phone stolen or hacked just that more. It's certainly not something I'm readily comfortable with.
