I think this would be great. It could be a resource for people interested in learning about biohacking, improve safety, and serve as a repository of information. But please, no paywalls!

The way glow-in-the-dark powders work is by storing energy and remitting it. You could charge it with a firefly, but the light coming out the powder would not be brighter than the light coming out of the firefly (in fact, there would be some loss) so this can't work. I suppose if you charged it with a flashlight first the…

@IvoTheSquire I'm wondering if what you're talking about is more about quality of life/independence/not wanting to be a "vegetable" for hospital patients, where @Cassox's experience is more with biohackers and others interested in modifying themselves. I mean, if there was a "quality of life"-type reason to install rfid…

@IvoTheSquire I see, that makes sense. I wonder if the sense of hunger would really disappear if you weren't getting the right nutrient load? Clearly it's lessened, since it functions as an "easy" diet, but I imagine the body would figure it out before it got too bad? I guess that's one aspect of what @Nwilde1590 is…

> @IvoTheSquire said: > Please don’t. > > Apart from all the tissue damage and discomfort (while I haven’t experience it, it is bad enough that palliative patients would rather die than to have it), your body actually do need nutrients and not feeling the need to eat is a receipe for malnutrition. I want to clarify: first,…

This is really cool, is anyone working on this sort of thing in the biohacking community? I remember seeing the "third thumb" a while back, but it seems to have disappeared. I'd personally be very interested, but I'm not sure where to start.

Yes, this is true, I'm actually part of the Vivokey beta. But for the moment, despite the Vivokey having the right hardware, we can't expect to use it for EMV payments.

This is from a different forum, but it's the best summary I've seen. Tl;dr it can't really be done right now on more than a short-term basis. https://forum.dangerousthings.com/t/making-payments-with-an-implant/643

Same as Hunter, I really hope to be able to make it next year! This year I was out of the country for a work conference, this year I'll book the time as soon as dates are decided. A comment about the dates: I teach at a university, the dates that you have been holding it work okay but if you push it into May it may become…

I responded. Good questions!

Where will information be posted? I'd really like to make it this year, I need to plan ahead since I teach.

I'm a graduate student and an adjunct professor studying differential geometry. My current focus is on sub-Riemannian foliation theory. Also, I've done some programming and general computer science; I designed my own "macro"processor, but I'm still saving up the money and time to build it. The ALU was working, last time I…

This article was written by Rich Lee, who was the first (I think) to do this. Yes, they are subdermal, and they vibrate (producing sound) in response to an inductive coil worn around the neck. Basically you must have an external device to create the signal which they then amplify. Please correct me if I'm wrong about any…

I'm definitely late, but can I get in on the next round? I'm also interested in having you install it, are you anywhere near New England?

I'm pretty sure the issue is your reader. The xEM is a low frequency (LF) rfid tag, which means it works in the 125 kHz range, while your phone and the pn532 readers are NFC devices, which use the high frequency (HF) 13.55MHz range. I haven't done anything with LF as I have the xNT and am hopefully getting a DESFire (both…
