It would be neat if we had an OS that costs SAFE to install apps, but is free to uninstall an app. It gets fun, when somebody got to pay your pubkey and txfees to install an app and run it on your device and you can adjust the cost to do so. If you install an app you could pay 1 nano, but after that it would automatically jump to 1000 MAID, malware installs would disappear real quick. Another option is that only your privkey could install on the OS, but that would take away the fun of making an attacker pay. What if the attacker gets your privkey?

That is all good and well, but what is tripping my lack of knowledge in the area is that the keys are alphanumeric? how does that magic work?
