Well, not for nfc. If youāve seen the peg leg projectā¦
I have not? Should I google that? I feel like google will give meā¦interestingā¦ results
Pegleg implant is safe to google.

Iām both tired and bored right now. Needed something to entertain myself (and hopefully you) with.
If youāre guessing, youāre not even close. When you know, You. Will. Know.
When / If you get it. DON"T SPOIL IT FOR EVERYONE. Put it behind a āblur spoilerā if you must.
Iād also welcome some of your favorite riddles.
Edit, @vampire_blue had it in like 30 seconds. Iāve seen a little kid stump a rooom full of adults with this riddle.
Edit #2, for those not used to U.S. currency, the coins are Penny, Nickel, and Quarter in that order in the video.

I predict a bug rush of new cyborgs real soon, like next spring.
The stars are aligning!
- The flexNExT blinky hype, much social media coverage
- The Titan just happened and will be talked about much next months
- US Payment Implants are a thing now
All this only (hopefully) months before the release of the Apex.
How much better could it get? What else could get more attention to grinding?
The payment thing is huge, because I think people will likely notice that IRL.
2021 will be an epic year!

For those who donāt do social media, where can one see some of the coverage?
I google it up every now and then, see it that implant gets some press, but itās all quiet as a church out there. If thereās coverage, itās not indexed.

More like many installers shared flexNExTs on instagram and talked about it to clients.
Did this strike a chord (between 20 and 20K Hz) with anyone else?

Oh right okay. Thanks.
Near the end of last year Alex Smith was having trouble with PayPal and dealing with some personal stuff so he put the site on deep freeze. I donāt know if heāll ever bring it back, but he might. A lot of big name biohackers have trouble with the business side of things (partly why I like them so much 
). He was making some cool stuff in his lab, but compared to DT the RFID stuff was meh, and some of his other experimental stuff really should have had better quality control and testing.

Iāve always wanted to āfeelā more dimensions. Not science-fiction-style dimensions, but mathematical dimensions: I can conceptualize perfectly a scalar as a point, a one-dimensional array as a line, a two-dimensional array as a plane, a three-dimensional array as a volume, possibly a four-dimensional array as a volume evolving over time (the sense of appropriation of the concept starts to break down there), butā¦ anything beyond that is just math. No intimate connection with 5D+ at all. Humans arenāt wired for that. It frustrates the hell out of me.
Or said briefly, I want to see a tesseract like it really is!

@Satur9 - since youāre always pretty āup to dateā considering fellow biohacking companies, are there any news about the northstar? I frequently throw a look over at Grindhouseās facebook-page or their youtube-channel, but I have heard nothing about it for quite some timeā¦ think the latest news was a short introduction of the v2 and the ācattle-implantā (forgot the name, sorry)ā¦
Might just be me, but it reminds me of āI have seen things you people wouldnāt believeāā¦

Ehh. I mean, you saw their update video a year and a half ago. I wouldnāt hold your breath. Ryan talks about the regulatory hurdles (FDA, FCC) they would need to go through to bring something like that to market in the US.
DT is able to fly under the radar because itās a completely different product than what theyāre targeting. They want to implant lithium batteries in people using experimental coatings. That might work fine for small batch stuff, but it would never fly as a āproductā. It seems theyāve completely pivoted to livestock labs in Australia as their gateway to regulatory safety, and it seems like their hitting some serious hurdles on that front too.
To further confirm that the Northstar may be on indefinite hiatus, 24hr Engineer has been hard at work on a new(ish) project called the Cardinal (which Iām trying to help him out with), which basically just vibrates when facing north. The Northstar was supposed to do that, it had an IMU. Heās very friendly with the Grindhouse Wetware team, so I canāt imagine he would go to all that effort to design something that they already had working.
All told, I think they fell victim to feature creep when they tried to pack everything you could want into one device. They also didnāt seem to have a clear path to market defined when they set out. It may be possible for you to get one of the prototypes if you talk to the right people, but I doubt youāll see it in a purchaseable format any time soon.
