I think you're right on the money.

I've decoded keys that I've seen people carrying on rings on their belts (and, in many cases, the pin values are stamped right on the key). I don't carry keys where people can see them, but I'm a little bit paranoid. With the advent of this service it probably pays to be a bit more paranoid, since somebody could take a picture of your key, send $5, and get a copy w/o knowing anything about pins and tumblers.

I think I just found a new people-watching side hobby. Next on HN: Burgling across Brooklyn as hipster keychains "pic-pocketed" en-masse...

I'm really looking forward to when I get the time to rig up my door so I can use my yubikey instead. Much easier than all the metal keys I have to carry around now, and much less damaging to my pockets and belt-loops.

I've actually seen 3D printable keys for KW1 and SC1 which accept the pin values as a parameter - I think it was on hackaday a few years ago.
