Build a WordPress Plugin and you could get a huge market share with blog writers etc. I know its embeddable using JS but build a WP plugin and could be huge for you. All the best.

Yeah, it's been the #1 requested feature so far. It's in progress!

The plugin itself can be free and it will give you huge marketing exposure with literally millions of people. Use the recommended practice by codex and get it added to wordpress.org. Profit while giving something back to the community. Win-Win. Don't delay it. Get it out there NOW.

What benefit would a wordpress blog have from this over native comments?

Similar benefits to most hosted commenting solutions, most of which have to do with scale in one form or another. If you're a small blog who gets a handful of comments a month, you might not see as big a benefit (though, there are still some).
- Decreased server load.
- Reliable multi-region storage and delivery.
- More login options.
- One login account across several websites, which decreases friction whilst still providing the safety of having comments from verified users.
- Moderation filters that can act based on past user behavior, before they ever interact with your site.
