I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don’t trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

    Forget about privacy, this is just fucking dumb

    One point of failure that can’t be replaced if stolen?

    This won’t ever take off, and will most definitely die out quickly in favor of literally any other technique including just embedding an nfc chip and battery to your palm surgically. Which I probably still wouldn’t be thrilled about but

      I’ve see where you can pay with your fingerprint at some venders. It’s a similar concept, in terms of single point of failure. Regardless, I hope you’re right.

      E: **mostly right. I won’t embed anything in my skin for payments. CC or cash or phone NFC (and I don’t like that one for it’s security implications). That’s it.
