New to this as reality, but I've been thinking about this for a long time
Hello world
I am an ametuer coder/maker, a nerd and a lover of all things cyberpunk. I cannot believe that I did not hear of this sooner, but I feel like I'm home. I'm in Florida and I'm talking to a few friends about setting up a little space and trying our hands at this stuff, although all we'll be doing is replicating other people's grinds for a while to familiarize ourselves with the skills/type of the thinking necessary for this sort of work. Before any of that, though, I'm trying to arrange to have a magnet implant done somewhat soon, if I can get my hands on the material and a decent body modder (mostly, someone who will do it locally). Because of the possible difficulty of aquiring the magnets, I may go with RFID (which would be fun to toy with).
This is the sort of thing that, while I may have not been familiar with you guys and what you do, I think a lot of us out there have thought intensely about. I've known for a long time that my interest in this stuff would prompt me to somehow be a test subject or early adopter, anything really. This is something that I feel I should be involved in. I'm sure many of you have had a similar realization, that flash where you realize that at least some of this stuff is or can be reality. Hope I'm not coming off like a weirdo, ha.
Anyway, here I am. I'll be lurking around learning what I can, trying to establish contacts and organize the people I have around me into something useful for the community. I don't think any of us have the expertise for wetware but things like the thinking cap are within range for us. I'd love to hear from anyone else in a similar position, or who would perhaps be interested in collaboration on code/whatnot.
