Co-founder stepping down soon after a public launch is bad news.

We are all skeptical too, but really it could be any number of things and he stated that he wanted to do more programming and less CTOing.

I just got the email to join them today but when I went to sign up they won't let you unless you have an iOS device. If you select Android it states that you have to wait until they release an Android version. Disappointing.

It's probably worth the way. It takes time to work out the intricate details of transactions and UX. I, for one, am excited about this. and I look forward to finally ditching my bank of 10 years!

The simple website still says it's invite only. I've been on the waiting list since December and haven't heard anything.

They're definitely working through the list: I was on the waiting list since August/September and I just got an invite last week. (Received my debit card in the mail yesterday, too.)

Really? I understand they can only target one mobile platform in the beginning, they don't want to spread themselves too thin, but why is a mobile device a requirement?
