Interesting startup coming out of YC

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Y Combinator, but their Demo Day is today. I've been following it, and I found an interesting startup there that emulates a lot of what other submissions are trying to do:

Check them out. I think you'll see a lot of similarities. What do you guys think?

  Quite similar indeed.

  The notion of using emails to transact means that they are using an idea similar to what I used for MintX (http://mintchipchallenge.com/submissions/9423-mintx) or what Justin used for Payme (http://mintchipchallenge.com/submissions/9457-payme-free-mintchip-email-money-transfers)

  I suppose the time for digital currencies is likely upon us and the basic idea is in the air. If so, that is exciting!
