Yay!!!
Also, just a quick update… After ensuring the materials conformed to requirements, we actually released wire transfers to material suppliers today! Campaign funds have been officially used to put the Titan production in motion!

I’m thinking the crowdfund page is malfunctioning. This shouldn’t be possible.
Raised: $18,050.50
Unless you somehow subtracted material costs, but that seems unlikely.
The fifty cents are really suspicious: who the hell pledged an amount with cents in it?

Yeah, I can’t see any realistic way, but to count by 500’s.
17,000

This just shouldn’t be. Probably just a glitch in the Matrix, but still.
Also, @amal, maybe add the stretch goal video to the crowdfunding page?

It’s a glitch because we had to process a refund for an order that included a titan backing and other things… It kinda borked stuff… mostly because I had to mod the calculation code anyway to fix some crap… anyway… it’s gonna be looked into. Thanks for bringing it up.
Found the issue… not due to a refund but incorrect application of sales tax for someone from Washington State who ordered. Sales tax (if collected) has been excluded from the calculation.
We’re at 40 with 14 days left.
I’m so excited.
And I just can’t hide it.

Are you about to lose control, and do you think you love it?

Well, I did just text my installer to start trying to set something up.
Ok… we’ve got an official announcement to make regarding the Titan campaign now… but I need to sort out a video about it. We’ve basically hit enough backers now that I’m being compelled to get a new piece of kit for the lab that will make it possible to do something kinda cool with the Titan magnets which will be both stylish and actually useful… stay tuned.

Quick someone find out if there are magnetic laser diodes

My guess is a laser that can engrave/heat things.
Still unsure how this is stylish though if it is this route.
Are you going to be able to engrave in the magnets?
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
somebody insert a shutup-and-take-my-money gif for me please ( ＾◡＾)っ [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅5̲̅00)̲̅$̲̅]
What we recon, amal is getting a laser etched titanium housing.

Ok actually I think I will put a poll together. Yes, I am getting a CO2 laser etcher so I can mark the Titan magnets to indicate the North pole of the magnet. This is something that has never been done for magnet implants before, and it will make setting up arrays or choosing specific polarity easy to do.
The CO2 laser will create a thin film of titanium dioxide (TiO2), which is even more biochemically compatible than pure Ti. My plan at the moment is to etch the circular DT logo to the north side of the Titan magnets… but I realize some people might not want that… or they might want something else… so… maybe a poll is in order.
- DT circle logo
- “T” for Titan
- Custom (50+ mags backed)
- No marking

So in short, I want to mark the north pole of the Titan magnet with something… and maybe we mark the south pole with a special symbol for our Hall of Fame backers of this very special Titan campaign… I’m still thinking on it and doing some testing on some Ti stock.

That is super cool. Taking any side projects?
That is super neat. At the end of the day, it will be in my finger. So to me, it makes no difference personally if it is engraved or not. There is not that option in the poll, unless I should take my vote back.
Were you going to splurge for these to be E.O. Sterilized?
Edit: I voted T for Tyler
