hi guys… a few things going on in the personal life at the moment so i’m not responsive as i could be… here’s a dump;
Purewrist
When they went down for a few months and had shit comms with customers I speculated that they were done for. Miraculously they came back online somehow… but several red flags were triggered with that fiasco.
From nearly the moment Walletmor discovered the chip expiration date was a problem, we started asking when a new batch of chips would be available for Walletmor to convert with a better date. They kept saying a new batch of chips was in the works… but as we know now this never came to pass.
When Purewrist went offline a few months back, I personally put Walletmor US out of stock on the website. I had the ability to do this because Dangerous Things was also doing fulfillment for Walletmor US on top of manufacturing. As far as I understand it, it was not the intention of Walletmor to stop selling chips in the US, but I had bad feelings about this and so I dropped the inventory to 0 and disallowed backorders for the US. As we can see now, that was the right call.
Walletmor
Currently my only involvement with Walletmor is as a vendor - Dangerous Things manufactures conversions for Walletmor. Out of habit and, well, a sense of obligation to the biohackers that purchased Walletmor products, I still provide some level of support when asked. There are also currently some issues to sort out with Walletmor regarding manufacturing arrangements for EU payment implants.
Plans for the US
All I can say right now is that there is a plan being mulled over / considered / noodled to create payment implant option that is a Dangerous Things offering… but at this exact moment, with Purewrist shutting down, there does not appear to be any options available for US customers.
