Bitcoin implants?

[magneto]

What's the point in an implant? Some sort of key embeded into your body can be extracted, or even brushed against to be indecure. What should be done is some sort of encryption of private keys through biological data, maybe a fingerprint or the like. If someone breaches the implant or knows your private key, you will need to extract it. Just a waste

The fingerprint a great idea.

However, this will lead to people 'robbing' others of their fingerprints. Honestly, it's not a good idea to keep anything directly on you. The best method is just put it elsewhere so someone doesn't get tempted to rob you.

It's already very easy to carry around a trezor wallet which is secure enough. There is no need for anything else.

Yes. Everything about implants is wonderful, but the issues of health and security are of utmost concern, rendering its ability to become practical in the future.

I would become surprised if such implant with extreme security becomes designed for the government's own desires, eventually leading to complete control over your finances, personal info, and more. Technology is constantly evolving each day, making proposed solutions become a reality sooner than we've ever imagined.

But other than that, I think that we're doing great with the hardware wallets. Just my thoughts.

[Youresioure]

This isn't a new thread. For now, I hope you know this technology's operating in practice, in a few countries.

What would happen if someone hacked your implant? Or would get to know your private keys somehow?

Sounds pain to me... ))

Yeah. Those are the major concerns among everyday people, as having an implant would put their life at risk. No matter if there are health or security issues, they need to be of utmost concern before making implants a practical method for making transactions in the mainstream world.

For now, we would be doing fine with current wallet methods, but I believe that as society and technology advances, we might be able to see implants in our body in the future, when it becomes mature enough towards mainstream use. In some way, manufacturers would devise new security mechanisms, to ensure the safety of using implants on everyday people.

As I've stated before, it might not be Bitcoin, but instead a digital currency issued by governments themselves with their own implants and a full-fledged blockchain system. Just sharing my thoughts.

You can always change your implant or your personal key for the implant but godspeed doing that with your fingerprints.
Also your fingerprints can get damaged, you can always have a new implant.

Well one of the best way to carry something is having it on your own body and making something a part of it. As we can see in the future in movies, people access certain doors and securities by using their hand and having some chip on it. Of course it's good but I think it will be more prone to bad people. They will cut your hand if necessary in order to steal.

I've heard some news about making DNA as a storage device which I think more reliable than implants. The bitcoins are in your cell not worrying about a wierd chip in your body. Well it's still all speculations and we won't know what happen for sure in the future. We still have a long way to go. Stay tuned.

That is the worst case scenario and it will happen if chip implantation will be implanted. I dont want to imagine a chip implanted on my hand and a robber will not only steal my chip but he will cut my hand off. Much worse if the chip is placed on our heads then we can say that our heads will be rolling when the bad guys comes to steal it. For me we dont need chips and web wallets as well as app wallets are the best way to store bitcoins.

Yes. Having an implant is too risky, especially with an asset or currency like Bitcoin which is highly valuable. It would be a huge target for theft, exposing the risk of death. Also, it may break anonymity when using it, which goes against Bitcoin's value proposition.

I was only talking about implants for Bitcoin at first, as a possibility to become a reality, but I guess that the health and security risks prevail, making such concept not practical for real world usage.

However, as technology advances we might not see implants, but rather something that would be even better, with security and health over its users in mind. In the meantime, we could focus on using hardware and/or software wallets, as they provide all the necessary functionality to send and receive Bitcoin. Just my opinion.

We should also think of good idea with constructive criticism, not all robbers will know if we wear implants or not because this is still privacy, If we talk 100 years ahead of course the use of implants will be in accordance with era development where radiation and global security system is adapted to adapt the implant. Developers will also think about anticipation if implants are used unreasonably from robbers (hand pieces etc), then their chip will switch off by itself using gps system. I think using bitcoin implants also requires keywords to perform all transaction.

[just_Alice]

I'm not sure if this has ever been implemented yet, but can you imagine a way of paying with Bitcoin by just using your own body?

It would be more of like a microchip implanted into your left or right hand that would contain both your public and private keys to send and receive Bitcoins.

So in case you want to send or receive some BTC, you would just pass your hand over at a scanner and it would perform the desired operation. This is would make it a very convenient and easy way to transact, and carry your Bitcoins with you anytime, anywhere. However, the only thing to be considered would be the security of your private key from within your implant, to protect your funds from theft.

Nevertheless, I want to know your opinion about this, since it would be pretty cool to have such a system to help spread mass adoption of the cryptocurrency. 

I don't see any necessity in it, nowadays people are carrying their phones wherever they go and there is no problem with making transactions using them. And by the way, such a microchip might be rather expensive, so it would be protected from destruction inside your body by enzymes or free radicals and still be able to recieve and send data through your skin layer.

Yeah. Maybe at some point in the future, this would be practical due to the advances in technology. New security mechanisms would become implemented, reducing the possibility for theft and bringing the convenience of carrying your funds, personal information, and more.

But, until today, we would be better off with hardware wallets, as they're proven to be the most secure way to store your Bitcoins or any other cryptocurrency. There would be no need to worry about the health implications this would have (unlike implants) since it's a separate device operating on its own and not into your body.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to seeing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin become practical in real world applications like: Grocery shopping, filling up your gas tank, and even more. The future is unpredictable, but it's cool to imagine what it would be like with the high advances in technology. Just my thoughts.

If it did not work on Fiat Currency why would it work to a cryptocurrency? Like what I said earlier chip implants was created before for you to withdraw cash in atms but was surely taken down after no consumers are willing to use it. And what I am seeing right now is that Bitcoin is better off im what it have now in which there is a Bitcoin Wallet app that is portable and also secure. I don't think that an implant would be any better in terms of security.

Thats already coming with the new one world government but it wont be bitcoin it will be government currency. Its called the mark of the beast - 666.  That is the first thing I thought when I saw bitcoin.

really? i don't really sure about this and until now i don't see that its related with 666 like you said or maybe if its true, then i don't know about that. for me, as long as i can still continue involve in bitcoin industry and i can make money from bitcoin, then i will continue to earn as much as bitcoin that i can. but if i think something is wrong, then maybe i will considering to stop for a while.

I would say very scary. I guess we will see.

Yeah me too. Due to the high advancements in techmology, and the emergence of Bitcoin and the blockchain, it opens up new possibilities for a new world government to rise with its own digital currency using implants on their citizens.

As the blockchain has been proven to keep track of transactions, property ownership, and more, it makes this closer to becoming a reality in the future. Governments would have more control over their citizens, greatly disrupting their privacy. Just my thoughts.

Chip implants were tot created for withdrawing cash.
The first reason was medical data in case of emergency.
The second most used chips were for security reasons , access to buildings or restricted areas.

And a chip implant is currently more secure than anything in this world.
The most advance come with triple security so you still need a pass and a finger print or retina scan after it so it's next to imposible to duplicate.
Your phone can get stolen so easily it's ridiculous.

Wouldn't you feel better without having to worry about it?

Nobody is implanting anything into my body. Ever.

What the fuck?
Chip implants are only being conceptually used for security access reasons by a single company, there is not another instance of chips being used in the other ways you mention. Most of them are unnecessary and you can't use a chip implanted in your arm like a phone.
Are you sure that you're fully aware of what chips even do? What they're used for and when they're used?

[youdacapt]

The concept I think is barely a barcode, and it's natural for people to think of more brutal crime like hand-cutting, but I think of the authorization system where if the implants still require a private key or password in use, it doesn't matter. GPS concept has been applied to some detainees at Guantanamo, but I don't really agree because GPS will only make us a doll that can be monitored by others at will.
