Ordering OpenPGP Smartcards and readers

Basically, you need two things: A card and a card-reader. The card is about 15 euro, max. 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.

Below is a list of people who want to order (one or both) of these pieces. If you can, please sponsor one extra set so we can have a few extra in case more people show up during workshops, or in the future.

List of people who would like to order a smartcard and/or usb reader:

• Wizzup (1x smartcard, 1x reader, will sponsor: 1x smartcard, 1x reader)
• Chotee (1x smartcard, 1x reader)

TODO

• maybe some IM/chat solutions for mobile platforms?
• Dropbox replacements
