You don't want to be scanning your fingerprint on any device connected to the internet, unless you want it stored on some government database somewhere.

What country are you from?   US government would love a company to do that I would think.  Then they would just make the company hand over the data...

I was reading about PayByTouch, the company that allowed consumers to pay for items with a swipe of their finger on a biometric sensor. Fingerprints and BTC seem like they are naturals for each other, particularly with consumers who are less interested in privacy than they are convenience. Maybe your fingerprint is used to generate your keys and then is forever associated with them through some sort of protocol?
