Hopefully the sensing abilities only improve from here! IIRC some people have said as long as 6 months for fully sensing depending on how many nerves were cut during install

Correct there! sometimes even more.
On odd placements you might also need to train yourself up a bit…
And on that note: Holy Cuntflaps!!!
I’ve been trying to keep my titan away from anything eletromagnectic, to speed up healing, but I just accudentaly reached out for something under my desk…
My solid metal framed desk…
WOW! 
Could feel it really crisply!

Nice! Big congrats to that one!
It might be a bit early to tell… buuuuut… so you would say sensing is there, even though the Titan is placed in an unusual spot?

I definitely felt it much, MUCH, more than I expected, especially talking about just being plain metal.
I literally felt as if I had bumped my wrist against the frame, but was at least an inch away from it!
but you are right:
I plan on starting to run tests only about 3 weeks from now.

Don’t hurry… it is far more important to have a good healing

This was my experience too, my expectations were set for a lot less than what i felt. I actually got spooked at first cause i thought it was something else
Maybe you should have implanted the magnet someplace else for a less painful experience

Me too!
I actually thought I bumped into the frame and pulled out as a very quick reaction.
Lucky me, I had just covered the spot in gank, and the spot was still covered and the frame was dry!
I’ve met folks with 3 padlocks there.
Not sure a magnet anywhere else would be less painful. 
That would make them holey

I have an old metal desk, I’m already fearing the pain(s) already!
I have so no idea what this means…
I though you brain learns to ignore this feeling after some time, so you just know without actually feeling the pull, right? Or is that just w/ EM fields? Or is it completely wrong?
So even if this is nice now, it’s not the actual experience?
I wonder if we know the same person or just the same kind of people
Being that it’s an scandinavian… perhaps? 
The surprise came from how my brain interpreted it, especially while it’s so new.
I did not felt “a tug”, as it’s expected. I literally felt as if I banged my arm.
That was both much more intense than I expected with a wrist placement, and much faster than I expected to reach that level of abstraction from the feeling.
For some people, yes. Depends a lot from individual to individual. but overall it’s like you said:
Begins as a tug feeling but quickly should translate into more of “a feeling”
It’s reading well (even through the swelling) on the acr122u made a very bad video cause holding the phone and the reader and all one handed is hard. Still no read on my iphone though.
Should be just the swelling.
iPhones put out a lot less Oomph than ACRs, in general, so that could explain it. 
I am more interested in how hard is it to get a read (i.e. how many times you need to pass through, or if you need to try and angle the hand in a special way).
I’m starting to think that either I got an underperforming new antenna, or, most likely, an exceedingly overperforming old antenna.
Anyway, here’s a long Thread I’m putting up about it, so we can stop derailing this thread!
(hope this isn’t a derail, wanted to put it in the spoiler thread as this is where the implanted Titans get posted)
This may sound like an odd request, but I would super appreciate it if anyone could test this:
Anyone with an installed Titan + access to retro computing equipment, specifically 5.25 inch floppies (hoping there’s at least one of you), would you mind doing some practical tests at some point of copying/writing a floppy, doing some everyday handling of it with your titan hand, then testing data integrity?
I really want a biomagnet, and am considering hopping on the second Titan campaign/order when that happens. However, I’ve mentioned this before, but retro/vintage computing is one of my major hobbies, specifically Apple IIs and early DOS machines.
I would hate to accidentally wipe a disk that had yet to be backed up anywhere (a lot of my collection is old handwritten BASIC programs from people locally, don’t exist anywhere else). That risk is the major reason why I didn’t hop on the first campaign.
Obviously magnets will wipe floppies, but I’m wondering if a sensing magnet, like a titan, is strong enough once implanted to pose a practical risk.

Dont know if that is helpful:
I handled some Tape casettes (audio) from a friend.
After using the Tape Deck for some Days i rememberd the Xg3 in my finger and was quite scared that i destroyed the Tapes from them.
I was like FUCK - Could i have destroyed the tapes?
Lucky all of them sounded normal…
I mean at some point it just scared the Fck out of me.
to be clear, there was likely some damage done, but only in the form of some signal smoothing… basically a low grade signal degradation… this happens whenever a field interacts with magnetic media… but as you heard, it’s not enough with such short and infrequent exposure that it caused any noticeable difference.
The real sketchiness comes into play when dealing with old digital media where the signal level required for a bit to be considered a 1 and not a 0 is already pretty close to fully degraded… any interaction with a field at that point to strengthen or degrade bits in the field, depending on their polarity and angle of magnetic flux.
not terribly important, just being pedantic

And now the stitch is out. It’s been 4 days (I thought it was 5 but I’m awful at math) and the incision looked pretty closed and I kept catching the threads on stuff and frankly I’ve always been shit at keeping stitches or splints or casts or whatever in place.
It’s looking amazing though.

Looks absolutely great 
Very happy that your healing appears to be going quite well, congratulations on the overall great install 
Mentioned it before, but I’m beyond excited to hear your experiences once healed.

Any inconvenience typing with that finger? Or is it too soon and you’re not even trying?
