There’s another post on the forum from a few months ago where we hypothesize about the functionality of this payment implant. You can take a look for it. In all likelihood it does do “payment”, but it accomplishes that by using a non-programmable chip cannabalized from a pre-paid debit card. IIRC it only works in Germany, not the entire Eurozone or world. The issues with doing “payment implants” that way is that the rights of that chip can be revoked on a whim by the card issuer, and will naturally expire after 2-5 years. There are also often hidden fees and other limitations on those cards put in place by the issuer to steal from low-income individuals who do not have reputable credit and cannot defend themselves in court.
So there’s alot going on in this picture. The fact that the seller chose this as their primary product shot is possibly the biggest red flag, because this is a prototype at best.
Biggest issue is the encapsulation. The edges are rough like they were cut with shears and then not smoothed. You’re going to get jabbed by those corners when your muscles move around. The integrity of the seal is questionable.The edges seem to have been heat sealed together. It looks like it was done by hand, which means it probably wasn’t performed in a vacuum chamber. There are likely to be small pockets of air inside the implant as a result, which will move around and possibly coalesce to put pressure on a small corner of the seal and burst it.
Once the coating inevitably fails, all of the materials inside need to be safe and biocompatible. Each LED is a standalone commercially available fingernail tag, which is nice from a performance perspective. Unfortunately those fingernail tags are made as cheaply as possible and we do not know if the materials are safe for implantation. The conformal coating that allows you to put nail polish on them alone…
The antenna attached to that chip is janky as fuck. I don’t even. “Flexing” that thing would be the quickest method of throwing away € 289.90 that I’ve ever seen. What limited performance it does have is being significantly impacted by the fact that there are three distinct coils in one field, all detuning each other and sapping field strength.
tl;dr
You do whatever you want with your body, but I wouldn’t put that thing under my skin.
