Ooooo I’m interested. Since these are prepaid do they still last the full 3-4 years?

You use the app to reload the card and it is available in the. Canadian Google app store. A quick google shows a fee Canadian news articles about it, bit only from small no-name sources. I’m tempted to get the wristband and test it… If it works, maybe I’ll send it and a transit pass down for upgrades …
Edit:. Looks like the wrist would work here but has a 3% fee on international purchases…

How is the range?
I imagine the original card would go through skin hoodie and jacket. At least the vimpaygo can do that.
How about the wedge?
Real life tests coming soon

Maybe a dumb question but I was curious as to how the purewrist solution is any different than say my Citi mastercard which has tap to pay? Could I just send in my CC and have that converted to an implant?
It’s the antenna. It has to be specific to the chip, and Amal only has a specific selection of them available. This one was convenient because he already had an ideal antenna.

Also the fact that normal cards with dual interface (contact and contactless) are seriously a pain in the ass to get at the contactless antenna leads from the card. It’s technically possible but you also end up with a huge implant anyway because the entire silicon die is under the contact interface.

Do we have any information on expiry for these? I thought I saw someone claim that they were able to do a wristband with a custom expiry of 99 years later, was that ever a thing?
I’m almost certain they still have like a 3 year expiry. That’s why the website says too. Atleast purewrist
You did see it, but that was iCard buddy, not purewrist

What I got from that. A 2099 card is not doable, but a 9 year expiry is doable.
That’s a serious move in terms of acceptability vs the current 3 year expiry. I’d probably pass on a 3 year card, but might would go for a 9 year. What’s the chance of PureWrist or some other company being coerced into setting it to 9 years?

I would be pretty happy with 9 years, but by the time I get around to getting something like that there will probably be something better.
Yeah, I saw that and was thinking 9 years would be pretty spiffy. It seems unlikely you wouldn’t replace it before then anyway.
What colour leds can be added to these implants and how much do they cost for the extra work? I’ve seen people with leds added I think and they look really cool.
We used to add them but the led modules are just crap and tend to die pretty quickly after implantation.
