It's a hardware wallet that just looks cool. Where's the "black mirror vibes". There's not much nefarious tech here.

The ick and black mirror vibes comes from the technical fact that bitcoin is non fungible and publicly traceable by design making it a surveillance states dream. Luckily there are superior alt coins that don't have that flaw.

Err, actually the ick factor for me was the crypto bro mentality and the general seedy nature of the state of crypto and those who use it.

This looks immensely useful I've been thinking about ways to count my chickens, making sure they return to the coop and don't get locked out at night. Most of the time all tge birds get in, but occasionally some will dawdle and wind up sitting outside a locked coop door. You mention this can read for a couple meters. Can it read all the members of a flock, so I could mount a single transmitter in the ceiling if the c…

I haven’t played with any stationary antennas but I think it’s possible. The scanner that is used in the video has configuration for transmit power. At its maximum setting, the range is 15 feet with clear line of sight. Tags with larger antennas, generally speaking, have longer range but might be too big for younger chickens. So overall there are a lot of variables.

Looking at Chafon and some other vendors, they seem to have a decent amount that might work for what I want. Do you purchase your stuff from Aliexpress? Or is there another vendor worth using

Turns out if you only look at people trying to turn a profit you will find bad people. It's like complaining about investment being seedy because you only watch wallstreetbets.

That should be the point where the intellectual curious hacker should try to broaden there horizon beyond the superficial surface.

I don't see the seedy nature you try to apply to a whole industry if anything i experience the opposite.
