Meow from the Sydney Bio Foundry talks about implantable RFID technology and "Grinders" who biohack themselves. And he shows off the RFID / NFC tag embedded in his thumb on a consumer payment terminal.
They are currently working with banks to get the technology introduced into consumer payment systems, but currently only works with PayPal Braintree.

And I'm here with meow and he's got. Show us the chip implanted. Okay, here we go and I'll see if I can get it's implanted. it's implanted underneath my skin.
Let's see if we can get it. Can you get it? There we go. Transaction cancelled one day. Stay tuned.
Nice October. I think we're gonna launch. And why did you put it in your thumb? Because you could? Um, Oh yeah. so sorry.
obviously. Yeah, I put it in my thumb because I saw some other people doing it. and a big part of biohacking is this movement called grinding. Right.
Grinding is about the taking technology and putting it inside your body. Yep, so one of the things that we've thought about doing is approaching some people where this might actually be useful to them. So, uh, Banks, for example. They spend a lot of money on biometrics.
We everyone wants cardless cash and no one's worked out a really frictionless way of doing that. Yep, so we thought, instead of grabbing fingerprints and vein patterns and things, what about if you took the existing technology and just convinced people to stick it sticking inside their body? I think that's a tough sell. A few of them have been wrapped. You'd be surprised we have people queuing up for implants.
Wow. Nice stage of the business is to bring someone on who wants to do the implanting. and um, we're doing demo Nfc payment using Braintree Paypal at the moment. Hopefully.
so that's how we're going to bootstrap it and then hopefully one of the big banks or payment providers will buy our technology from us. Fantastic, Best of luck. Thank you. I don't know if I'll sign up.
Maybe I don't know that you'll do it. I'll do it. Yeah, I know. Okay, it'll make a great video.
How would I set this up with PayPal Braintree?
devil stuff here warning yall
Personally, I'm not sold on this kind of technology.
Not because I think it's going to lead to any problems, but because it seems like a novelty at best.
Having a password or similar, or some kind of encryption which is held in your conscious mind, is always going to be more secure for any kind of transaction than having a physical device needed for security. Combining the two is even better. Where the device is located is meaningless, as well.
Give me a regular card anytime
The fuck is going on with this comment section right now, it's an rfid chip, not a mind controlling device. Holy shit.
What is so nice about this stupid idea…………………
+EEVblog If you are all for this tech, and believe all those who oppose are religious nuts, then you are not just an Atheist but also a Gullible FOOL. Branding yourself with a number, as a possession of the establishment, is insanity. Its the mark of the beast, it doesn't matter if you are an Atheist, the higher powers who dance around an idol to Child Sacrifice at Bohemian Grove, disagree with you, and it is they who are in charge of the economy. Your atheism doesn't control their beliefs and desire to fulfil prophecy.. And as an electronic expert, you should know that future developments will allow a dictatorship to put all kinds of interesting extras with it. Even without the extras, having a beast mark, because that's what it is, will lead to the end of physical currency, and then the elite will have total control over the masses. If the establishment tires of you, they'll just turn off your chip and you won't be able to buy or sell or exist in society, just as in the prophecy they're fulfilling, you will starve as an outcast. You won't even be able to depend on the charity of others either, as they're trying out anti-begging laws in Scandinavia where a person will be committing a crime if they share food.
Yikes! This could very well be used for the Mark of the Beast. I will never get an RFID implant. Ever.
Don't turn dave on! take it apart!
I will never get one, it's against my ethics and I don't want this forced on us cash is king.
Good luck taking an MRI examination with that chip in his thumb.
Nope. Nopely nopesk. Happy with my card thanks.
Satans Son.
Neat Tech, don't know if I wanna have it inside me. And to any Christians watching this, no its not 666, this guy put it in his left hand, read your bibles.
I love electronics, but putting them into your body and not being able to remove them yourself?
No thank you. I'd rather use a smartwatch with NFC for payments, just as easy, and you can take it off any time.
And no, I'm not paranoid about "Mark of the beast" stuff, I'm an atheist. I just wouldn't want any synthetic foreing bodies inside of me.
Yeah No! one smart Hacker and we're all lining up to have our implants replaced.
Meow!
Meow!
You'll probably end up needing more than one due to the various incompatible versions used by different banks and retailers.
If i had a chip implanted it's definitely going in my middle finger so i can go to the counter and say "Scan that"
why so many dislikes?
is that the 666 chip? good luck with that! venture 😭
He should have put that chip up his ass is all I can say. Good luck if you want to be bar coded with a chip.
Human Cyborg Hmmmm..
he can stick it up his arse for all I care, it will never go inside me
Damn, a bunch of religious-tin-foil-hat-wearers on the comments lol.
What a wonderful technology! Even easier money spending! That`s what people call progress and technologoy! And that`s eactly what our planet and humanity needs right now!
Man, artificial teeth may be rejected by human body… And even if I wasn`t such a jerk regarding economy (probably bigest human invention and biggest disaster made to our planet), how frequently will people need to swap these chips because of, you know, security, hijacking, etc, etc…? It`s just bullshit, maaan, it`s so wrong… Just like 3d tv, 5d cinema, iot, and so much else… The only people wanting this would be sale managers from banks and stupid, technocratic kids…
Fuck that shit.
