$2, or $0.25, what exactly is being paid for here? A promise that they'll verify that it's indeed me before I sign a document?

- rgbrgb 5y agoI have the same question about what makes up the cost structure. How much does it cost docusign/hellosign etc to be the "notary"? FWIW the other signature providers have an enterprise sales process which is very negotiable. Pretty sure you can hit this price point at scale, but I hate doing enterprise sales negotiations.

- mindslight 5y agoElectronic signatures are free right now. The heavyweight rigmaroles are just security blankets for lawyers. /mindslight/ mindslight (ref: https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/sigexamples_alt_text.pdf https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/sigexamp... )

- scubbo 5y agoI was _really_ confused why you signed your comment when the HN UI already shows who made the comment - then I remembered the context of the conversation :P
- paxys 5y agoNo, they in fact do not verify this at all. Anyone with access to the document link (which is usually sent over email) can sign it using any name they want.
