> you really believe facebook will ask users to manage private keys instead to authenticate with their facebook account?

Yeah, I know that your private key will probably be your Facebook username&password tuple, but this is still better than credit cards because the merchant will not need to know this tuple to be paid.



How is this whole thing different than paypal then? We all know how "better" paypal is. Frozen accounts anyone?


Paypal is linked to your credit card.


It's not really mandatory. You can use the paypal balance to buy stuff.

In case you wonder you will need to source your facebook wallet with a credit card or bank account too so it's really no different than Paypal.


Wtf really? Is that in the whitepaper?
