The prospect of getting away without a wallet is exciting to me! If I could get down to just driver's license, this, and billfold, that'd be pretty cool.

  I would pay 2x what they're asking if it worked like it's supposed to, and I could leave everything else behind. But realistically, I think mobile payment systems are much more likely to succeed. Plus, I already have my phone with me anyway, and it doesn't seem too far fetched that it could provide all the info on my driver's license. So with that and widespread adoption of ApplePay (or whatever ends up succeeding in that space) I'm down to just leaving the house with my phone and whatever cash I want to carry.

    > I think mobile payment systems are much more likely to succeed It's not either/or. Something like this or Coin are essentially interfaces for what will be legacy devices. If it were either/or, then mobile payments would certainly be the better solution.

      That's true, though I think once major retailers, gas stations, grocery stores and ATMs are accepting mobile payments, you'd be able to get by without any "legacy" forms of payment pretty easily.

    And why wouldn't you want all your financial and government information sitting on a single computer, network accessible, and running gigabytes of random software, much of which uses the network. What could possibly go wrong?
