Not at the level where it could replace cookies- BUT- in time, possibly.
Also, again coming from a community background, I see high potential to use this to identify fraud. Not only could you use this to identify people like nigerian scammers, but maybe could use it to identify chargeback customers down the line.
Again, the technologly doesn't seem to be there yet, but I see alot of potential in it.
