How so? Who's going to pay for it?

I reckon I could do it, you know. Use PGP for the backend (duh) but take some time off work, hire actual designers for the UI, make the identity verification step make sense for the user. But 98% of users don't care about security, and 98% of the remainder can't tell the difference between good and bad security.
