NFC payments
Ok so I know this has come up before but I'm making a new thread on it.
I'm currently wearing an NFC ring and have been for over a year now. This ring isn't payment capable. A new version from NFCring.com is being made in partnership with visa. That ring will be able to make payments.
My question I now ask is could @alexsmith or @amal produce an implantable version of this ring? I'm pretty sure you would need to get approval from the card company. Actually I'm positive you would. They use tags very similar to the flex tags that were recently put out.
The information on the rings are open source so it should be really easy to get me information on. I'm going to be sending them an email asking about it also. I'll be posting the response once I get it ( hopefully a good response).

I'm not gonna really paste it but I'll just say it.
Q. What card/bank issuers currently support it? Not many visa cards get full support when it comes to Apple pay and Android.
A. TBD
Q. What sort of upgrades where done to this tag to enable payments and could it be encapsulated?
A. Sorry it's a whole new tag inlay. A glass capsule would be impossible for this one.
Not quite the responses I was hoping for but it's something.
Also this was sent from John mclear of NFCring.com McLean ltd.
I'll give uki a look.
For future payments using NFC. I'm not sure which kind of tag is in it, as i can't read it with any of my NFC-readers, but when i hold it to a light I can see something in there.
What phone carrier?
Did you try it on the reader with it in a phone or out?
I've tot KPN as carrier.
I use the acr122u as reader.

It seems to me that the card is capable of doing it but there is probably a security feature where the phone has to authorize it when being read.
Like apply pay and android pay I doubt simply reading it will work as it's probably got some sort of security built in. Still pretty cool though.
Also prices what might we be talking about? I'm on the fence of getting a payment ring or this. My ring would be a wedding band but I want something nice so I'd prefer the implant for payment.
