Hi Tony,
By the way, I do think that this is an interesting idea, and look
forward to seeing a world where OPs compete on security.
The refund guarantee could be something that a Bank OP, or other very
secure OP, could offer their customers, similar to "safe shopping"
guarantees that credit card companies offer today.
