I’m not exactly East Coast but it is my time zone.
I live in Northern Indiana.
I have a current xNT NFC Chip implant that I use daily. (I also took pics of the at-home procedure when I installed it).
I’m also going to be purchasing the xSIID NFC + LED Implant; so that can be documented.
I’ve been a full-stack web developer for almost 20 years. (this includes 2FA, data encryption, & application security)
I tinker w/ lots of IoT / SoC devices.
Years ago I did a TV interview for a PBS show segment about the future of “Cloud Computing”.
I’m also apart of the VivoKey Apex (Flex) beta. I did receive a first batch model that I still have and works. (It’s just not implanted due to the known wireless coupling issue when writing applets to it).
I’m near Philadelphia and I would be willing to weigh in if you want. I plan to have two removals and two installs done soon (in the next couple weeks, I’m waiting on Amal to ship). I develop implants, and one of the installs will be a custom one I designed to convert my debit card.
I had to go to Alabama for mine, so I’m not sure about the Jacksonville side. Georgia might work but I’m not sure. If I remember correctly it’s not technically allowed to be done at piercers in Florida, but that might just be made up by the shop that told me.
Subparagraph 381.0075(11)(a)5, Florida Statutes, states that body piercing salons must use only jewelry that is made of implant grade, high-quality stainless steel, solid gold of at least 14K weight, niobium, titanium, platinum, a dense, low-porosity plastic, or silver and that is free of nicks, scratches, or irregular surfaces for new piercings.
That effectively rules out glassies. The dense low porosity plastic might allow for flex implants though.
Staying on topic tho in this thread, I am near East coast myself, I do love to talk about implants and technology with anyone, only thing is that I would request complete anonymity with online and media related stuff. I have no prob talking this stuff in person, but I absolutely can’t stand the crazy conspiracy theory stuff, like invasion of privacy, government tracking, mark of the beast, etc.
