#2$2, or $0.25, what exactly is being paid for here? A promise that they'll verify that it's indeed me before I sign a document?

#3Can anyone describe the target market here? Docusign and others have monthly sub rates that would drive the per-signature way lower for large volumes.

#4I know bikeshedding about names is discouraged, but in the case of signatures, isn't there a desire to evoke a "trust" feeling? It's hard to tie "cheap" to "trust". Some other synonym like "eco" might project trust better.

I have the same question about what makes up the cost structure. How much does it cost docusign/hellosign etc to be the "notary"? FWIW the other signature providers have an enterprise sales process which is very negotiable. Pretty sure you can hit this price point at scale, but I hate doing enterprise sales negotiations.

> NaCl's goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools
The services being discussed are the higher-level tools.

Electronic signatures are free right now. The heavyweight rigmaroles are just security blankets for lawyers.

No, they in fact do not verify this at all. Anyone with access to the document link (which is usually sent over email) can sign it using any name they want.

I'm pretty sure NaCl does cryptographic signatures. Docusign is a way for a human to "sign" a document with their computer - the legal equivalent to writing your name on a physical contract.
