Re: I have magnets implanted in my hands
#12There are a couple of sources of implant grade magnet, such as steve haworth and https://cyberise.me/transhumanme/37-sense52.html
I’ve had several procedures done by Steve and recommend him for anyone else looking to get this sort of work done. He is a professional and pioneer in this field. I have one of the earlier generations of these magnets implanted and everyone needs to understand the risks. Mine has lost its charge and I hope that it isn’t due to a leak in the silicone and that it isn’t being devoured by my body. It’s probably been push…
In all horrible honesty is self removal with a localized anesthetic not an option? for a subdermal implant it's not as deep as one might think. Once you overcome the initial pain you should be able to remove one yourself. (this is not medical advice and I could be horribly wrong)

#13Can I just buy a magnetic ring somewhere, giving all the same benefits but without the downsides of surgery? Still sense EM fields but without pain, infection risk, can still get MRIs etc.
not really. the sensitivity of magnets under the skin in contact with nerve endings is an order of magnitude more powerful.

#14I've had a programmable NFC tag embedded in my right hand, between my thumb and pointer finger for the last 5+ years. I forget about it for a month or so sometimes. It's neat, I guess, for storing a small amount of text information (bitcoin private key, stuff like that). Can read with any NFC capable phone.
Do you worry about the security implications of this? If you storing something sensitive like a private key, I mean.
A private key is only valuable if the person knows what the key is for and how to use it. Stealing a random looking string off an RFID can't be that valuable unless it's a very targeted attack.

What about something that conducts vibration + an exterior device?

Sure...I imagine it's an option. I know someone who digs moles out with a pocket knife and a bottle of isopropynol. Lots of things are options. Doesn't mean they're all good ones.

(rimshot)
But to the actual question of anybody actually getting this done, I still don't see the reason why. Yes, these things can be done; but for what purpose? Like, is there a professional advantage?

I've tried taping a Zen Magnet to my finger, and while I'm sure it's nothing like having an implant, it was mildly amusing. For a few minutes.

It's not any amount of bitcoin I'd miss. Just kind of for fun. I guess I could encrypt it with some passphrase that's easy to remember, but I haven't bothered. Honestly I'd be impressed if someone retrieved the bitcoin.
Re: I have magnets implanted in my hands
#20I always wondered why you can't do this topically. Perhaps a magnet in some kind of elastic band around your finger? Or even glue a magnet to your fingernail? Surely it's not necessary to put one inside you.
I think you're missing some of the point. Enthusiasts for this kind of thing are the same kind of people that inexplicably embed metal objects into their face just to feel different.
