  • I assume you're joking... What the heck kind of idea is that? You have a very peculiar mind there... How does surrounding it with raw meat sound? Like chicken breast or ground beef? I know that sounds odd, but I'm starting to think it's worth doing some sort of range test prior to implanting it anyways. Though, I figure if…
  • I know it would result in a thicker coating, but would a diamond layer surrounded by a more commonly used bio compatible coating be potentially useful? I imagine it would then have the typical compatibility of most other "good" implants while having the durability of the diamond coating. I ask just because I've read a lot…
  • For future reference, I did a bit more research regarding the original topic here (bone replacements), the main secondary function bones serve (after structural functions) is of course housing bone marrow, where most blood in adults in produced. Found a few things, firstly, the bones in the arms produce little to none of…
  • If we move to another software, like Discourse, that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Admittedly it's probably fixed in the newer version of Vanilla as well.
  • I tend to go long, so I'll try to split my post into two distinct sections... Organization: I don't currently have time to do much with organizing or writing up wiki content, however it has come to my attention that with so many people linking images from various file sharing sites to share on the forums (videos and other…
  • I'm curious to know what other data storage implants you've found, any completed and practical ones? I ask because I'm working on my own. Currently somewhat in the design phase though.
  • What do you mean? You access it by connecting to it via Wifi. I considered that the range may be reduced, but if it's accessible from a 15 foot radius, that ought to be sufficient for the typical phone or computer access, I don't think it'll be big problem, wifi tends to be stronger than Bluetooth or gps signals when…
  • I was thinking about it last night and will likely peal back the cover just to see what's behind it. Any finished product will have it in place. Good thought about the copper tape acting as shielding, I figured it was copper tape just because it's thinner than traditional heat-resistant electrical tape, but if that were…
  • It's still a little ways off, but my plan is to make 2 completed devices in the 32 GB size and send them both to someone else (from the forums here) to biocoat and test. Assuming that goes well and the devices are both still fully functional, I'll be convinced that I succeeded and will make at least one larger capacity…
  • Another post while I was typing... I plan on building in a Qi charger (a wireless charging standard, the kind used in new wireless charging phones and some watches). If I can, I would also like to incorporate a Peltier Generator, which is a type of TEG (thermoelectric generator), which would charge the device from your…
  • Thanks for the response, you posted while I was typing the last post there (which took a lot longer than I anticipated since I ended up setting up a new website just to host the pictures). I may move the battery to the end, or the side, instead of underneath. Depends exactly where I end up wanting it implanted, will need…
  • Pictures now...(After noting how they look if I just insert them from a link, I've deicded it'll be better to just insert a hyperlink to the picture.) http://jupiterflux.com/photos/IMG_7263.JPGhttp://jupiterflux.com/photos/IMG_7264.JPGHere I adjusted the battery so it's next to instead of underneath the board. The MicroSD…
  • If I end up rigging a Qi chargers to it successfully (and a thermoelectric charger if possible) then I will also attempt to build some sort of status light into it to indicate charge level, which solves the issue of only being able to view the charge level from the iOS app. As for the total free/used storage space, well,…
  • I pay to host my own server, Discourse itself is free. I'll get a blank site online one of the next couple days so you can check it out if you'd like. I'm not a fan of Docker just because the primary reason they state they use it is so that all setups are basically identical and thus there aren't any user specific setup…
  • I'll give my opinions, but they're probably not quite what you're looking for. 1) People here. @cassox is the first that comes to mind. @AlexSmith too. Some others whose exact names I can't think of off the top of my head. 2) When? Uh... A while ago... though I'll admit to not having any actual implants at this time. Still…
  • Pardon that error in my typing. I just now noticed it. Have no idea what that was supposed to say.
  • On the topic of chat bots that have been frequently mentioned. I really don't see how useful it is, I'd rather just read a web page if I were looking for information. But I wrote a regex based IRC chat bot that utilizes multiple terms and could be configured to respond with user specific details, like username, channel,…
  • Okay. So, just read the whole thread. Joined the slack discussion and I'll post here what I said there, I'd like to contribute. I just don't have time these days to contribute anything that takes time, like coding or graphics design. What I do have is a 2GB VPS hosting tiny websites that hardly see much traffic these days.…
  • Feel like throwing in a good word of advice, it's not a cure, but when I have a migraine (used to happen all the time, less so these days) I'd sit down, take a moment to control my breathing. And clear my thoughts. Which may sound difficult, but my goal was never to not think of anything. Rather to think just of one thing.…
  • If it's in the finger tip, I'd be curious to see if a magnetic bone would work as a sensing magnet. H can its probably work as a gripping magnet too (for small things) at that size.
  • Just throwing it out there... Sapphire. Second strongest transparent material (second to diamond). Currently used for camera lenses (particularly on phone cameras) and in some other places on phones, iPhone's home button is made of Sapphire, as an example. Although typically thought of as a blue color, it can be made…
  • A "cover all" solution vs a "bandaid" solution is what I'd probably call it. EDIT: On second thought, not a fan of the term "cover all". Not quite sounding the way I envisioned it in my head.
  • I also finished early. Only by half the year (finished in December, 5 months sooner than I would have on a normal schedule). If you'd like to send me a list of questions for your... project... I can answer them and send them back.
  • Fortunately and unfortunately "replacing" fingernails is a problem. On one hand, if you screw something up, it would grow back. On the other hand, if things go well, you still need to find a way to keep the natural fingernails from growing back. Aside from surgically cutting out the entire nail bed, any thoughts on…
  • It's maybe a little late to add something, but (in my experience) reactions range from "I don't want the government tagging and tracking people" to most of you guys here. The former, of course, is somewhat of a... uneducated... point of view. I try to... educate... some people. Pointing out that the government could much…
  • @_Larry_ Hadn't thought of that. Well, I don't imagine I'd do it with toenails anyways. Not at first at least. The practical uses of cutting things or handling smaller objects better or mounting tiny tools (i have no examples, just thought you might could do so) don't really apply to toenails like the my do fingernails.…
  • @JohnDoe I am also looking into the details of actually putting something in implant form, but I figure it varies enough that starting with the idea and then picking specific coatings and implant methods is best. Since I can't say "that's a good coating" and then go design an implant around a coating. All that said, the…
  • First tip. Don't go around telling the world, "my hand opens my locks like magic". Think of it like an ordinary key. You don't go dangling those in front of people and saying "this opens my house where the valuables are stored" do you? Chances are, if anyone even notices the implant, they won't also care to clone it to…
  • The video clearly had him using the accelerometer most of the time, to track head movements. Not thought patterns. But, regardless. I've always figured those were a bit like the Myo Armband https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myo_armband and they look cool, but then you find out they only recognize a small number of pre…
  • I was. Uh. Always was. My interest in bio hacking didn't develop until after high school though, so I don't think my being homeschooled is super relevant. Though I suppose it fits my mental state better than any sort of public school would have.
