Magnet or NFC tag as first implant?
Hi!
First a little introduction: I'm a robotics major based in Montreal, Canada. I've had an interest in prosthetics, haptics and general integration of technology in the human body for a while. I had thought of getting a RFID tag a few years back, but nothing very concrete until now. I've been reading this forum and it convinced me to get a first implant.
I hope I can bring something useful to the community, my big strength is 3D modelling, plus I have access to a pretty good 3D printer via work so if any of you need help with that, hit me up.
Now onto the main subject:
I'm interested in getting both a magnet pair in my left hand and an NFC tag. I rank both equally in terms of usefulness to me.
Should I get the magnet or the tag first?
The tag seems like the best choice to me, considering the applicator and the fact that m31 magnets are out of stock, but perhaps I'm misguided.
Also, I think there isn't, but is there an estimate for the m31's being back in stock?

Capsule injections are very easy to work with, a great place to start. A lot easier than the surgical process for implanting a magnet if you're new. Would highly suggest studying up on both, but do the tag first. ^^
Speaking of, you might have fun with this thread, perhaps you might have interest and ideas. :o

Keep us updated on things, we love reading people's stories and growing knowledge. Just don't make the same mistakes that have already been established to be bad. Please ask questions, and there's buckets of things to read. ^^
Many people have suggested it like you said. I would try it no harm done if it doesnt work.
Not physically touching nerve dense material is going to reduce the Sensation that you feel, but it is a pretty good proxy just to get an idea of what it's like.
the fingernails a very stable place to put it, but for receptiveness maybe on the pad? :o
Don't worry about the PMK for an injection. it's too quick to be 'necessary'. ^^
The nail gives much less sensation.
Both have the problem that the glue does not last long and after a few days it will come off.
Make sure you clean and dry the nail (or skin) really well before glueing or the glue will fail in a matter of hours.
You can buy nail glue but it's basically just cyanoacrylate which worked just fine.
@eggit mostly access doors but they are implanted so it's really not cumbersome. I'm going to be (I know I say that a lot but I will) making my truck access through my chip.
I think you're right, I probably could clone it. For some reason I had it in my head that I could use it for multiple applications if they added it to the system instead....but I could just as easily program anything I use personally to recognize the tag on my keyfob.
(I'm doing this on the top of my head so excuse me if i don't get every value correct).
You have NFC which works on 13-ish Mhz and RFID which usually works on 125khz, so you need to decide what you want to put on the chip to decide which one you want inside you.
NFC chips like the xNT works with your phone for example and can store 888bytes. Many people store URLs or Vcards on there. I for example have 2 xNTs both with my Vcard on them, just to fill them. I'm still waiting for a project to do with the second one.
I'm currently in the waiting for a shipment which will let me make an implant that has RFID in it, so I can use it on my frontdoor of my buildig .
The door uses RFID on 125khz, those tags usually don't store much information on them. Mostly their UID( Unique ID) is programmed in the doors to choose which is allowed to open the door.
RFID is in that way more secure as you need to copy the UID instead of just some bytes that are stored on NFC.
If you do some research about NFC you will see that many types of cards have been cracked, like public transport cards which use NFC and had amounts of money on them. Which would make it suitable for increasing it without actually spending money, just changing values.
The biggest difference is that NFC stores more than RFID and the difference in frequency. So you need to decide what you want to do with the implant before you order an implant.
I hope this helps and if I forgot something , someone else might fill in :)
