You thought credit card skimmers and SS fraud were bad.. I'm going to take my black-market orb to time square and start collecting identities..
But seriously, I get the feeling software people just assume hardware is infallible somehow? Hardware-centric blockchains are extremely sensitive to Sybil attacks. Somewhere in that glorified iPhone of an Orb, there's a sensor sending a plaintext 'yes this is a valid iris, proceed' message. Now the validity of your blockchain is based in the physical security of a device..which you're distributing to contractors worldwide?
