I have a few qualms with this project:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting a 3D printer, designing and printing your own cards, and making your own circuit boards. From Windows or Mac, you can then just use whatever you made on Linux.

2. It doesn't actually replace physical cards. Most people I know e-mail cards to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to play games, but they still carry physical cards in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service (not buying, but also playing with the cards), is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
