You may want to wait until you get someone to answer you before sending a video and a PPT. You don’t want to overwhelm the public servants: anything longer than 3 sentences with a simple subject / verb / object structure and you start encroaching on their coffee break time Not to mention, most email servers are configured to discard emails sent to public-facing addresses that have attachments.
But I’m happy to share the PPT with you for when you have an actual name to talk to. Just let me rework it a bit so my own name is out of it.
I’ve read through this topic, since it is becoming viral in Europe.
So I have the 574 byte .hcert file, generated by my local C19 certificate app, how do I load this data into a NExT to that it will be recognized by my Android phone? Is it possible to do with NFC Tools Android app? Storing as plaintext seems to do nothing. Thank you all for your outstanding work of trolling the world <3
It won’t do anything… yet. Or rather, depending on how you store it, it’ll do something you don’t want.
If you store it as plain text, when you scan it, Android should open a popup telling you it’s read something, and - depending on your cellphone - show the text. Or not.
The idea is that, at some point, national COVID certificate checker apps will include the NFC NDEF processing bit that will correctly recognize the certificate text string and decode it.
Right now, none do, but we’re working on it. Or rather, we’re waiting for sluggish EU public servants to leave the coffee room and gp back to their desk to do a tiny bit of work.
I’ve bumped the merge request with a ping comment. The APK app linked above does read my cert from the NExT chip, but it displays it in red, only shows my name and nothing else, stating the reason is the vaccination has failed. But I love the direction we are moving towards.
The conspiracists heads will be blown by the news that: “Covid-19 verifier apps now read NFC chip implants”
Well anything that promotes implants is good for DT I guess…
But really, look at it this way: offering a “COVID certificate implant” is a 2-minute job: stick a URL on a xNT and voila, you’re offering an implantable NFC COVID certificate that you can milk for all it’s worth in the press, even if everybody in the field knows it’s kind of BS. It would’ve been good and cheap publicity for DT.
Unless of course Amal wants DT to stay in the shade (because of the “Dangerous” bit in the name, or because he wants to use DT as the supplier of more public-friendly fronting companies like Vivokeys or Walletmor) in which case I hope Epicenter is in fact an Amal-owned company
Well see I dunno about that. Cuz half of Digiwell’s “biohacking” offering is new-age nutrition bullshit, and I really, REALLY can’t get past their biomed section.
I don’t think Digiwell is good publicity for DT. Quite the opposite.
In this case, I was more thinking of doing a modicum of work and see if it’d go viral. If it did, great. If it didn’t, well no real effort would’ve been expended.
Technically, all that is discussed in this thread is not only possible, it’s also completely trivial. The problem is relying on powers to decide that it’s a good enough idea to implement it nationwide or worldwide, enact it into law and turn it into a working infrastructure.
As of today, no nation has decided that implantable national IDs are a good idea - for obvious reasons - so no nation’s police, public service or hospital will accept one that you made yourself, even if it’s valid, for lack of the necessary scanning equipment or for lack of trust in your homemade ID.
for now i have just uploaded my certificate to my google drive a a photo of my valid drivers licence put the url on my next and instead of having to wip out the printed copy or my wallet I just scan my neXt with my phone it theb pull up my certificate qr code and my Licance at far it seems to be accepted have not had issues yet makes it quick to present rather then haveing to search my phone for the Doc
