I created an account HN just to say that this is the worst example of gate keeping I've read. The original poster has legitimate questions regarding the security of a purchase in this device. Do "real hackers" have unlimited funds and don't have to worry about $800 purchases on still-virtual products? |

No, but you can invest in a product you believe in. We all understand it's an investment, not a guarantee. This phone is about the user being in control of their phone, if you don't care about that, or are not willing to invest, either wait until it comes out or get another smartphone.
The pre-order is for free software enthusiasts, not the general public.
As for the security, the company has previous experience shipping hardware, so I'd say it's better than your average hardware Kickstarter, but it isn't Apple and that's not the point.
