"A totally immature market" = "I have no clue about the market's needis" you can't dictate needs to the market

  Actually, we knew what the market wanted. But that need doesn't help anyone at the end. I created a system so users can digital sign documents. People wanted the silly Adobe PDF signature like to instead using their national eID. So, those signed documents aren't valid to a judge. Our biggest problem was that. Immature market because: a) very few people uses their eID cards, b) there were technological knowledge involved in the process. We did a great job on taking down all the barriers but the OS ecosystem right now is a mess with the digital signatures. We really felt like Credit Card Companies when they launched, no one used CC in the past until they become a major need. When the government worry about stimulating the use of eID as it should be expected, is when we will see the market grow and know what people need about eID. But do the adobe thing is just a piece of cake and even using it on 1000 documents, all will be pure crap before a judge of the European Union or any country, I assume, outside the United States.

    As I understand it, in Polish law documents signed with XMLDSig (with a qualified certificate) are as good as paper ones. I'm not sure how much it's used in pratice outside transacting with governemnt (filing taxes etc.)
