In my todo list there is a line for building one of those for the guys I just started working for. It will sms the number to the phone of the developer requestiong it. I will probably be using an old netbook, though.

I hope you're not assuming sms is "secure"?

I don't mean to be trite, but it would seem like the $5 is the part that's for the lulz.

It is. I just happened to be one of the earlies adopters, provided some feedback and received 5$ voucher... I know this task is much more sophisticated but just for I just post it to let is off my head, to resonate :)

As secure as the current system, which involves someone reading the number out loud over the phone. As each code is only valid for a one minute window, and our profile is not that high, I'd say sms will do.
