some cards are evil + Perhaps a Consumerium card could be arranged
(approach with no need for worn device, Post check-out Consumerium, using a swipeable card to give address information for delivering the digital receipt via internet)

I wouldn't base so much emphasis on worn devices. Ok, if we can arrange for information to be delivered to a worn device, that's great, but maybe leveraging on existing devices (ie. PC at home) and infrastructure (ie. Internet for delivery) we will be getting to implementation a lot faster then with the "techno-gizmo of tomorrow"-approach.

Take for example the fact that many [[card]]s are swiped at the [[check-out]] cashier and the implementation effort (and cost) would be minimal if those cards conveyed an email address (or other drop-box distribution method) where the [[digital receipt]] of the purchases would be delivered to, naturally containing the [[GTIN]] codes of the [[product]]s purchased.

This would be a form of [[Post check-out Consumerium]] that requires no additional hardware for the consumer, a simplification compared to [[Check-out Consumerium]] in which [[NFC]] (or [[Bluetooth]]) would be used to transmit the [[digital receipt]] to the consumers [[worn device]], most likely a [[cell phone]] or PDA
