I can rapport that the visa ring looks badass. No Epoxy, no inlay visible! It's all one big "unibody" design. There's no visible seam either! Crazy! 2017 will truely be amazing.

Cool! Not a fan of the forum thought! But i guess that's more of an issue for me rather then you, free forum software you can grab on pages like that just isn't neat enough. Love the infinity table!

Will definitely be backing you!

Yeah, definitely full contact info, getting that vcard in there was painful when you had to leave out so much details..

bitcoin addresses anyone?

Unless somebody else in the community has these phones, I'm afraid you'll have to test for yourself and report back to us! :)

Hello, @Domenico .
What exactly are you trying to achieve here? Could you please elaborate ?

You cannot pay with the current NFCRings available. If you are talkng about the VISA Ring available at the select area of Rio, for the Olympic games, they only work with VISA, in Rio at this moment.

The short answer is no, you cannot use your phone to open the door.

The long answer is that, in theory, it should be possible (correct me if i'm wrong), however, you need access to the encrypted key on the card that prevents you from manufacture multiple cards from just one card (cloning the card). Not to mention that you would probably run into problems which requires 'card emulation mode'.

Thread locked, duplicate thread.

Awesome! looking good! Congratulations!

I just have to protest here, you see- the watch thing did not come from apple, and they should not get any recognition for that- It's not even released yet.

The first watch that got this trend rolling is the crowed founded Pebble, which is using an e-ink display that does not use a ton of battery to power the screen. So reasonably, Pebble can hold a charge for much longer then it's competitors.

And then there is the other generation of watches, which has been out and about for a better of 2 or so years now, we're starting to see new generations of clocks from hardware manufactures such as Sony and Samsung (and they will be able to work with other phone OS' soon enough, they are 'working on it' ).

Apple might be able to help to push the idea to the average people, but they really wouldn't need to be involved to get the average peoples interests, it's already there- and that is what Apple is afraid of, that they are "missing the train"- they are just jumping on it and rushing out a product which people will probably buy without even considering the others.

No, this is not something that is worked upon, Android doesn't really have inbuilt support for locking certain apps, it's usually a feature of skinned versions of android from the manufacturer of the device.

Oh and, you don't have to store password in plaintext, so you could add a bit of extra security for other applications were security is important, for example signin onto your webpages with Symple ID (another KS backed project) or the idea of signing in on your computer with an Arduino-

Threw in a good word as well~ the comments seems to be toned down now, until the people responds.

Over on IRC, it was said that shopify has an limitation to how many codes you can type in (one code to be exact, per purchase). Repackageing single rings into one bit shipment seemed to be too time-consuming aswell to be ideal, for the fullfilment guys.

I have this issue too- if you reboot the phone, the screenlock using smartlock won't let you log in with your nfc tag until you delete and re-add the tag into smartlock, it's certainly the OS' fault and nothing we can do about it

Kewl. Does this mean we're finally able to talk about this without those pesky NDA's they have on you?
Here's the Visa Pressrelease about it.

Engraving was a kickstarter-pledge, and was highly delayed because of the issues and hard to track these custom rings after, AFAIK it is not something they want to offer to everyone thought the store.

Every custom ring has to be manufactured and shipped individually, which is a huge pain the behind for the team to manage and deal with incase the ring cracks or the epoxy gets loose.

If you are interested in this for a special purpose (other then just having your name on it for no apparent reason other than "coolness"), I suggest contacting support@nfcring.com though email for details.
