I thought Tom Scott had a great video on the subject but I canāt find it 
In the very narrow niche of using hand tracking for fun stuff with magnet implants this is new and exiting! 
I want one really bad but I just invested in a Flipper. Also developing on a platform that nobody has is not super fun

@5hi3ld That looks like a typical install, nothing to worry about.
I do have a question though
Is that remnants of iodine on you skin!?
Did your installer allow it to dry before piercing your skin?
Numberphile did one aaaggges ago
wait one, let me find a linkā¦

Okay thatās it Iām getting one. I find the price reasonable actuallyā¦
Brace yourselves for some wild augmented reality - biomagnet shit. Which I will be sharing for whoever has one of course 
If I find a way to integrate it on Android then this is going to be crazy! Precise hand tracking + androidās AR in unity?! Youāre about to touch unicorns 
Done!

Hello @Pilgrimsmaster.
Yes, itās ābetadineā which contains iodine. And yes, he let it dry.

AWESOME
good to hear
Itās a me thing, not a you thing 
I did consider it also, for the same reasons as you mentioned.
BUT
I decided to go case sensitive for a number of reasons.
I thought the same a while ago with xEM, thinking nothing of it, UNTIL somebody wrote
exempt
Its fine now though, because, the NExT was the outlier, so I made the watched word as āThe NExTā
Then somebody wrote
"The next implant i get will beā¦:
So this prompted me to contact the Discourse developers, and after some back and forth, and a very long time later, they finally fixed it
So now, since I asked for the ability to be able to do it, I really should use it.
Plus, it also āTeachesā people to write the implant name āproperlyā, and when they do, the reading of post become just a little more easy.
AND, the are some people that the āblue linksā annoy (no idea why, it seems pretty inert to me), so this way there will be slightly fewer for them, but still plenty dotted around to make it easy for people reading a post/ thread of interest and a link straight to the webstore

Ok perfect. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for all that work!!
And I love the blue links. Cause then I can just click them and see directly what people are talking about.
One more thing. Cause I still donāt quite get it.
Between the Xmagic and the NExT, the Xmagic would also be able to open the HF lock for my bus right? Itād just have to be programmed first?
Is that right?
Or is it a different chip type?
Where as the NExT comes preprogrammed?
Iām thinking of getting one of each. The price difference isnāt important.
Thanks for redirecting me to where my questions donāt bug as many people. Haha. Trying to learn but itās slow going.

Yes
Enroll would be easier
(use the āaddā card, then swipe your xMagic)
Programmed, similar, but you would just copy a pre-enrolled card/fob and write that to your xMagic
yes, different chip types, but they are BOTH compatible with your bus lock.
I think where you may be getting confused is:
the UID (Uniquie ID)
The NEXT (HF side) has a UID number that cant be changed.
The xMagic (HF side) has a NUID (non-unique ID), meaning
I think this is a great idea, you will have 4 chips, and all very useful.
I also think you should get them sooner rather than later, becauseā¦
I think once you have them, all will make sense.
Heres what I think you should do
Get both NExT AND xMagic (although, you probably really only need the NExT for your situation)
Put the NExT in the hand that you plan on opening your bus with.
Use your flipper to copy a current enrolled card and write the LF side OR the āaddā card of your LF reader to enroll it into the reader
Then use the āaddā card of your HF reader
and the to enroll it into the reader
From then on, you should be all sorted and never have to change them again.
You can also use your NExT for sharing a business card, or storing links etc.
With the xMagic, that, combined with your flipper will become your āhackingā toys.
for making projects or when staying in hotels etc.

Hi Pilgrim!
As per usual. Thanks So Much for taking the time to reply.
Itās hugely appreciated.
Such great information.
So, the HF lock wonāt be in use. For a long while. Maybe ever. I just want it to be able to work if I go that route .
And do I understand correctly that the Xmagic is better for hotel keys?
I was thinking of making it my predominant hand if so. Just for the heck of it.
I was secretly hoping to maybe talk Amal into doing the placement for both when I go to visit my brother this summerā¦
Iād seen him offer for some others and thought maybe I could inquire about it, if I went directly to him.
If not Iāll look for someone maybe in seattle. Since thatās the biggest place Iāll be for a while.
.hoping to get it done before going to Mexico in November.
Anyways, much appreciated. And I always learn something and feel less newbish with your replies.
Ok. Back to checking out nuclear waste. Haha.

Yes, because the UID and the contents can be changed to match SOME hotels room cards.
It really depends on the System that the hotels use, but Mifare Classic 1k cards (Same chip that is in the xM1, xMagic, FlexM1, FlexMT ) are still frequently used in many hotels.
With a flipper or PM3 you can copy the card and write to your implant.
It is by no means guaranteed, but better odds than with an NTAG216 (Same chip as the xNT, NExT, FlexNT)
These implants COULD be compatiable, but pretty low odds, and you would need to ask the hotel to enroll your implant, and thats not always an easy thing to convince people to do.

Just got my key card. Maybe I shouldāve made room in my luggage for a laptop and PM3 lol
Edit: Hey @Az_F, does your app have functionality for cloning Mifare yet? XD
Edit 2: If anyone is searching for cruise room key cards, adding this for search terms to possibly copy clone cruise room key card. Hereās info on the Koningsdam ship from Holland America.
