@Cassox I would like to update the implant sheet and wanted to make sure I have put in the right thing. Are you going in a different direction than what you implanted in me or is the reference in your Jan 6 post above about the one you did with me? And just so you know: everything appears to have healed perfectly. There is…

@NEWKIDDO I am a runner and live at altitude here in South Africa (greater than a mile high) much like Nairobi Kenya and Addis Ethiopia. The greatest runners in the world come from these places frequently because of the effect of altitude training and the advantage it confers for V02 and all that good stuff. But for you to…

I am interested in the North Sense and its effect as a sense extension. I am curious mostly though about what Cassox mentions above: not mounting it to dermal piercings but to attach it to something. I am curious if it would really be feasible to hang it from a chain or something and wear it as a necklace instead of a…

Hi Cassox: I am interested in participating in the next round. Please put me down for one. If I fly into LA is there any way I could meet you to have a proper implantation? I am glad you have solved some of the technical concerns with other TIN magnets by utilizing the molds.

Maybe a slight derail but: I'm not sure it is a good idea to be allowing just anyone to be putting satellites into space. All it takes is one sufficiently bad accident in space to essentially lock humans onto the planet earth. All these new cubesats, for instance, with no navigation controls are just an accident waiting to…

@Zebula That was the most recent post I saw. He also indicated that he would post results again after getting the final version. I am curious if the results changed or were measurably different than the first time. It would seem to me that it would be possible if those previous results were some kind of outlier or…

@Dragon5 yes I was part of that discussion way back then but he did finalize the product now and may have made some other adjustments. It is pretty standard in manufacturing to give a confirmation of final outcomes on specifications. I'm not really expecting a big change.

That is a needle of nightmares! @AlexSmith did you get a final reading on radiation output for the V2? That looks like an awfully scary amount of glowing green stuff to stick under your skin for a while... would be nice to know what the risks were besides passing out trying to stick that gigantic needle through your skin.

If it comes down to a group purchase and needed funds, I would be happy to contribute $20 to the development. As far as desires: as shown above and in other places, 1X3mm is a great size for a finger. Any more and you have a disfigured finger with a giant lump in it. The people who make other implanted objects intended for…

@Glims This is good conversation. I probably came to the boards well after these discussions were being had. Hopefully this whole thing isn't tedious. What you said makes me laugh and reminds me of the "illusory superiority" effect or "above average effect" where far greater than 50% of people think they are above average,…

Frank: Awesome stuff man. I am working my way through the entire swathe (as far I can find) of transhumanist literature. The trends you are talking about are fully articulated basically as far back as the "official" record goes. I have been reading a bunch of Max More's stuff from the early 90s when he was writing on…

Cool pix @BirdMachine. Thanks for sharing! I wish I could come... I will be back in the US during this time next year and it would be fun to come see what is going on live! What is happening in some of those procedure shots? There are multiple holes being punched into arms and something that is happening to the knees/lower…

I don't post much but I read with interest, especially on developments like this. I find it fascinating that this is the course that is being taken with transhumanist philosophy and hope to continue watching and participating in this. This is particularly interesting to me as I am in the fledgling stage of work on a PhD in…

Hi @Chironex: Thanks for writing such a beautifully designed and articulate summary of a cool nanotechnology like quantum dots. Are you going to keep posting on medium or are you going to nestle that back into the Thought Emporium? Also, not to be a douche and grammar nazi, but I wanted to offer a few corrections to your…

@AlexSmith: Have you tested the radiation levels of the tritium in the new vial? Is accumulated radiation a log function or is just additive? Would adding a reflective backing "concentrate" the radiation in the direction which the light reflects? That thing looks awesome and I am keeping my eye on it but I am curious with…
-
Cassox: I live in South Africa and won't be able to attend this coming April, but this sounds amazing. I wish I could participate. Are you intending to make a video of anything that isn't incriminating? I'd love to hear some of the discussions and even wonder if it is possible to attend in some ways via Skype or Facetime…
-
Great news! Those are looking great. I retried the site last night (for me) and it did reload. It had gone a couple days without. I'm sure you'll let us know what passes the test and what the next steps are when you are good and ready. Hopefully with a first batch through the system this will pave the way for whatever…
-
Good news, Alex! I hope that they get allowed through this time. On a related note: how are you intending to process the requests, in terms of payment? I cannot get your cyberise.me site to load but maybe that is just me. And how many magnets have been requested via this channel and elsewhere and how many are you…

I would be very interested in seeing an implant work similar to the one that Moon Rivas has going but for lightning. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is the lightning capital of the world. There are some serious, 8+ hour lightning storms that would be a blast to have measured with their proximity, intensity, and…

@AlexSmith I'm not sure if you see the 'activity' page as a regular part of your feed but I asked there if you could notify me as well. I appreciate the foresight and generosity you display in facilitating this. This is a small but energetic community and I love the collaborative spirit. Keep up the awesome work!
