Databases are so stupid-easy that I am using a DB. I've tried both an angry hard-core DBMS and LC connected to <censored/>. Both work great. If you are scared of/inexperienced with databases, then there are several LC database libraries that will make that problem go away.
I think you guys are overthinking this. You are right that the server side is the hard part, but there are lots of ways to fix that: a) Implement an HTML server - there are several examples, and somebody (sorry, forgot who) has a LC Server hosting service, if you want to keep it all in LC. b) Think about it - the communication of the token and notification prefs does not have to be real-time i.e. this very millisecond. That leaves you with thousands of possibilities. For example, you could generate a file on the mobile device, encrypt it, then use one of the dropbox externals to upload it. Then your "server" can pull the file/data, decrypt it, and update the database at your leisure, or half-a-second later, whichever suits you better. c) Pick some other asynchronous method to transmit the data from the handheld.
