I get that, but I agree with what Rosco says
Pretty “simple” swapout, I feel it is worth the convenience. 3-5 years might not sound like a long period of time, but once you start using it, it’s then that you realise how good it is and how many times you will even use it in even just a year.
Of course the choice is yours, but don’t let the expiry period make the decision for you.
Think of it as a functional placeholder whilst you wait for an alternative (probably Vivokey) to be available, rather than wishing you had a pay implant, you actually do…
For example a common side effect of the implantation is swelling.
The first evening when you brush your teeth, you get a good idea of how limiting it is to not be able to use your hand properly. And something can always go wrong.
You only know how important your hand is when it is restricted.
Thats the reason why i would reconsider it twice now.
At the beginning i had the same fears and thought about it for a while.
In my mind the biggest problem is when the reader stands too low on the counter and you have to bend down your whole body to put your forearm on the reader.
But im not sure how often this happens. Most readers are a little higher to protect your privacy.
I got my walletmor in my wrist because my installer told me that he experienced problems with installing them at knives edge in the hand (the implant started to grow out of the hand).
I’ve had it for aprox 3 Weeks now and most POS Terminals work fine. There is one place where the reader is super low (hip height) but i just pick up the reader a few cm and turn it a little which works fine.
If i could change one thing thoug id ibstall it on my right hand so i didnt have to twist my arm to pay. but thats only a minor inconvenience.
Hi everyone, im new to this forum and im looking for some help.
i ordered a walletmor in germany and try to test it before the implantation.
Yes, it was in the tube but i get regestrations on many terminals.
Usually “authorisation failed”, some say “insert card”.
I have a sumup terminal which also was used in promo videos.
With a xfield detector i can see the antenna is 1cm inside all around (excuse my technical english)
I tried every position/direction it says insert card after 2-3 seconds.
After email with walletmor i decide to implant it.
And now what should i say, the detection of the chip is now 1-2 seconds. super fast.
The problem is, it is not accepted. Same problems as before.
All terminals say authorisation fails???
Icard Standard, payments with nfc possible, wearable is “already installed”.
Its a 5/29 valid chip.
Anyone knows what i can do next?
PS: I read a lot of your posts and im impressed what happened since i got mine in 1/2018
I have a small hostel and i only modified all doors to rfid with different lockingsystems, like chinese ones, germans and rothults Than i fall asleep and waited for the holy payment chip.
Now i saw your Community and have a new xm1
It is the worst case. i have implanted it for 150,- and it doesnt work at all.
icard say if its activated in the app its installed propperly, but still every terminal say authentification fails.
I asked my piercer, he wants 200,- to replace the old one.
So this gag will cost 550,- in total. But i get no replacement, Walletmor does not respond since 5 days…
I was wondering what i can do with this chip and a proxmark.
Maybe reset it and use it in different ways?
Proxmark give me infos which i can not really handle.
I could keep the old one and implantat a new chip in the other hand for only 150,-, so i have more money for beer
Wojtek send me a link to the app digiseq and it says all is correct with the chip.
I think its a problem with icard and the regestration to a financial service or some.
The chip works and is detected but everytime “authorisation failed”.
Whats curious is that tag info says batch number 00 00 00 00 00 and production date is 00/2000??
Sorry for the delay in reply. Would you mind telling me what your name is? I am answering emails regularly, and I am pretty much sure that you got the response. Anyway, let’s clarify that.
When it comes to the implant, which is readable (triggers a reaction from a terminal or gets read by a phone), it is still kind of an unknown issue. @amal is doing his best to find out what might be the technical issue. We had like 10 similar cases like this.
From Walletmor’s perspective, all we can do is provide you with a replacement. Honestly, when it comes to technology, Amal is the only person who may sort this out and answer more questions. Walletmor is fully dependent on him.
Authorization failed seems to me like a processor issue. @anon3825968 had a similar issue in Finnish bus and transit until he asked them to authorize his chip. Basically the iCard chips register to processors as coming from Belarus and some processors just assume fraud and refuse to authorize the transaction.
If your code is correct and iCard shows the wearable as registered correctly, and the terminals appear to read it ok, but you are getting authorization failed errors, you might be experiencing the same issue Rosco did with the processor. I’m just not sure how to resolve this problem other than asking the vendor which payment processor they use and contacting them about it with times and dates you attempted to use the implant (don’t tell them it’s an implant).
Than i fall asleep and waited for the holy payment chip.
