This project is awesome, but I'd be worried about my hand brushing up against all that lead every day for years. Or am I being too paranoid? In any case, easily solved with some casting epoxy.
I want to work on projects that do good.
I don’t want to work on projects regarding surveilance
or the weaking of existing cryptosystems.

My barrier to entry with a lot of DIY hardware projects was an incorrect assumption that it was difficult/expensive to get PCBs made. Looking into this, I found the blog of the guy running this project and he had some experience with various cheap PCB vendors, with stencils going as low as $18.

In addition to the vendors you mention via that link, OSH Park[1] is great option for hobbyists (or very small-volume production). This is the same source listed in OP. It's a board pooling group that puts many small-run orders on the same panel to economize on setup costs. OSH Park uses high-quality US manufacturers to produce the boards (with tight tolerances, silkscreen, soldermask, gold-flashed pads, etc.) I beli…
Open source made from parts seems like it would be very much under your own control. But it is also... bespoke. Which raises a different threat model, doesn't it?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

This must be awesome for training and university settings, to have such low cost options for learning the craft. Is it used much by startups / is it bringing down the barrier to entry that much?
My last company did care about turn time but also wanted affordable boards. They used PCB-Pool: http://www.pcb-pool.com/ppus/index.html
This is neat! Is there also source for the firmware that runs on the secure element?
No it is purely a hardware peripheral that just has configuration options. http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-8923S-CryptoAuth-ATECC508A...
Is there a similar chip with Curve25519?
