Im not good with name but what about “Cyborg’s Testing Center”?
Also are you using the 1mH in the 0510 package?
I know you made it so we can build it ourselves, but id love to throw a beer or a coffee (or whatever your drink 
) your way …

Yup! This is up to date: Lodestone PICO · AxelFougues/Lodestone-biomagnet-tools Wiki · GitHub
I will either setup some sort of donations or I’m considering making the app paid, like 5-10
(comes free with preordered lodestones)

Donation link plus 5-10 for app?
Or donation of a new implant? 
I’ll take it!
I will probably do that and hopefully fund the next gen lodestones and some more coding nights. It’s just that I know the community has strong feelings about open source and proprietary stuff and I don’t want to upset anyone… I guess the lodestones are fully self sufficient and that makes it okay

What about “Cyberware Calibration App”, “Cyberware Analyser” (or analyzer for the American English), or “Cyberware Test Centre”?

Yes but also no 
I’m looking for the first keywords someone would type in the app store when they discover biohacking… I remember looking for apps involving “cyborg” and “implants”. “Implants” might be a bit too sensitive for our politicaly correct algorithm overlords so maybe cyborg, biothech… If I include “nfc” or “magnets” in there it becomes too restrictive
RE the community and its feelings; open source is great, but it still costs time and money to develop it, and nobody is entitled to other people’s labour, so it’s important that it be adequately funded, and that you be fairly compensated for your knowledge, skills, and hard work.

I don’t think you should worry about upsetting people, You have done the work and made a bespoke product for the community.
I have a paid version of the MCT app, because I use it frequently and it does what it says.
I would happily buy yours for the same reason.
As you are offering the app free with the purchase of the lodestones, I think thats a great decision, Buy a product get the software, If people don’t want to buy a lodestone, but if people want your app, and the functionality that comes with it, I don’t think buying it should be an issue.
How are you going to manage it?
Paypal for lodestones and an .apk link?
How will you stop people sharing the .apk? Hopefully they don’t But I would hate for you to miss out on what you have earnt?
Are you going to put it on the playstore? Again, Personally I would prefer you got ALL the profits…
Also I hate PayPal and avoid it where ever possible, will you have other options?
I wasn’t going to get a lodestone as I don’t have any biomagnets and don’t think I will get any, but I can think of a use, so I likely will grab one.
Have you considered selling via DT / Amal?
Would be a nice add on purchase to an xG3 or TiTAN 
If Amal is interested of course, that would take care of the shop front
Maybe sort out a DT Credit for implants 
Anyway, thats a YOU and AMAL thing to discuss if its a possibility
I will shut up now…
Sorry

For the lodestones either PayPal or bank transfer for europeans (international is a bit costly and complicated I think). If someone wants to use something else why not. Eventually I will get something more permanent setup if I keep making them.
For the app, it goes on the app store and I can give out codes with the lodestones. No handling of apks, it makes things easier (for more organized open testing versions and device compatibility).
Let’s see if the concept works first with a first batch. Amal is usually very busy, I’ll just send him one when they get sent out and let him decide. I wouldn’t be against it.
Do you know the YouTube show Drawfee? They end their video in a similar way 
Edit: by app store I mean google play. I’m not even considering apple, just too much native code for NFC…

I was thinking about selling the lodestones as well as accepting donations. I do have a Buy me a coffee
account already from previous projects but I feel like I could do everything with Patron. Have the lodestones be a reward for a tier… That would simplify the logistics and it’s not paypal

So just curious… I lack a phone with a usb C
What are the chances of a flipper app running the pico?
Can a flipper be made compatible with usb-c headphones? I don’t know but if it does you can run a pico for sure.
(The pico uses the AL5686 usb-c DAC/Amplifier)
I have to much going on to look into programming something for the flipper but I’ve thought about it for sure. If someone knows if the usb port is compatible please share

That might only work for power and maybe data. I don’t know if audio protocols carry over
@Eriequiet maybe your pc or laptop has one? That would work.
I’m hoping to get my titan next month-ish and am extremely interested in this but I only have an iPhone. Are there any low-end or small android phones that folks here would recommend? I was considering jailbreaking my old iPhone 4s but I just now realized it doesn’t even have lightning so I doubt the connectors exist to magic that into usb-c.
Convert to Android
I’ve been seeing ads for Back Market. Not sure if it’s any good, but might be able to find a newer android for cheap? I see one with a USB-C for $35.

I’d consider it if my entire family wasn’t iOS and I didn’t have to play tech support for them. I’ll take a look around there and see what I can find, thanks!

I’m sure you can get decent one used one for <100$. As long as it’s android 9/10 you should be good.
My family thinks I know how to tame printers and recover passwords just because I code for a living 
the good side is you eventually learn how to fix almost anything
By the way I’ll be posting updates “very” regularly on Patreon to keep this place clean and only post big milestones here.
