Benjamin: some of what your write below is not correct. For example, FELICA is NOT managed by Bitwallet - Bitwallet is just a company making one of many applications (ecash) on the Felica Platform. Bitwallet does not manage Felica at all - Bitwallet is a competitor of SUICA for the e-cash area, but not for train tickets. There are some other accuracies. You'll find a lot of info in our FAQs and our reports.
