Ordering OpenPGP Smartcards and readers

Update: The orders have been placed. If you still wish a smart card and there are no 'sponsored' cards/readers left, we can do another order. User:Wizzup will hand out the cards and readers on the upcoming workshop to those who have paid. (Details in email)

Basically, you need two things: A card and a card-reader. The card is about 15 euro. And it can hold three subkeys of 4096 bits. The reader offered by the same company is usb-stick sized and costs about 20 euro:
