Your NFC Ring has 1K of Storage, how would you use it?
-
additionally to one professional and one private VCF I'd really like to store either my medical info (like most important diagnoses, allergies, organ donation decision, blood group and medication plan) in an encrypted format or at least a www-link to that information. This way this vital information could be retrieved even if I'm unconscious and/or badly injured.
Hm. Come to think about this idea it would need to be much more common to have an NFC device providing that info in order to make the paramedics routinely search for it - but hey, this is about ideas and dreams! For the medical information much more storage would be required, but maybe about 4k would be sufficient (which translates easily to "we need another generation of NFC rings soon" :-D ) -
Something less practical, but more "sentimental": if you're a fan of space exploration, you could put the compiled code of the Apollo lunar lander's guidance computer on the ring. Not sure it will fit in 1K, the source code is definitely too big.

I would use a 2016 NFC Ring for pretty much everything it was able, just as my last one, and would love to try out any new features and ideally use it in conjunction with my Google Wallet account. I loved having my original NFC Ring from kickstarter, and only removed it for work and the shower. I used my last one for my phone unlocking and to send people my contact info, as well as a great conversation starter (people were often in awe of my magic techy ring) where I would then demonstrate its usefulness and ease of use by sending them a link to your site/kickstarter. That is until it was stolen from my work locker (I work in a wet, sharp, and very messy job and wanted to keep it pristine). Needless to say I was quite upset, and searched for hours to find the culprit and retrieve it, but to no avail. While I would love to purchase a 2016 model, as a poor college student, I cannot responsibly afford it. I would be incredibly excited to have another chance to show off and feel proud of my first, and favorite, kickstarter company/product. So while I may not be the most creative user, I would be happy to assist in any way I would be able to perfect the ring (product reviews, bug reports, stress testing, etc). I hope you see my care for your product and are willing to give me another chance to share it with the public.
Thanks,

I know its already been said but seriously the best thing is being able to fit full contact information.
I would also love to be able to store a complex key on it for Dual Factor authentication with a password to get into a password database
-
Would like to store vcard and if possible like to keep a track of latest limited unlock history for any investigation purposes.
-
I could totally dig a vCard and Wi-Fi connection information for when guests come over to my house
-
Due to my job, I often have to exchange contact information with people that I meet. So, besides using it to unlock my phone and making it do various other tricks, full contact information would definitely be tops on my list.
-
I would like to use it as an asymmetric key for unlocking my keepass database.

Some brilliant ideas, guys! Keep 'em coming.

I have been autodidact in c++, web programming, and robotics for the last 10 years. I use my current Ring, which i got during the kickstarter campaign, for security on the front door to my house and my phone. However, i plan to use the NFC ring to send basic commands to a a robot i am constructing now that will verify the identity of anyone who enters my home as either me, or someone else, telling me my reminders or adding on security respectively. I'm currently in the building part of this project of mines where i have all of the c++ and Assembly programed, i just have to put the robot itself together..

I would use it to...I don't know yet, because my NFC ring has never worked. :-( Ordered the carbon fiber, it never came. Got a substitute ring in the wrong color, which simply doesn't work (my finger is too small for there to be sufficient contact, I suspect). Got a $15 voucher for a carbon fiber ring, which won't cover the cost of the carbon fiber ring. So bummed, because I was a huge advocate for this project.

@Kerri That's a shame - you didn't end up talking to support about a change to Alpha? I know you've said previously you have small fingers, but it's not that bad really.
Anyway, imagine the possibilities of a 2016 NFC Ring. They're going to be really special. -
I'll add more security to my Arduino based login solution

I´d be using it for medical records. I´m a keen runner wherever I go, so if I get involved in an accident, people can tell who I am, and what medicine I take and if I´ve got any allergies
-
@birgertaylor and @Friedemann I think the medical record/allergy alert/medical condition idea is brilliant. I know it can already be done with implantable chips, but not everyone can use or wants to use those!
-
As an avid runner I'd love to store vCard of my emergancy contacts with full info, and a quick list of blood type and allergies. That way in case of emergancy the hospital could have all the pertinent data to get stated.

Passwörter, Medikamente und Unverträglichkeiten sowie Blutgruppe würde ich auf einem solchen Ring speichern.

Naturally one will be used to store Bitcoin but I already have been doing that for almost a year with my NTAG216 implants. (Google: Bitcoin Implant Man) I tried doing this with the first-gen ring but because capacity was limited I use that as an ICE (in case of emergency) telephone number. The implants are used as Bitcoin Wallets, NFC Keepass unlocker, snooze button for the sleep as android alarm clock (works great with the first gen ring too!) and to unlock the phone (only on my rooted droids though)
What we really want to explore is the possibility use the ring as an 'unlocker' or 'enabler' of smart-contracts as this is where the extra capacity will really come-in handy and both my NTAG216 implants and the first-gen ring just don't have the capacity to do that kind of magic. We can't wait to get hacking!
-
I would use it to keep my public encryption key, my name, and medical emergency information (In Case of Emergency, or ICE). If push comes to shove, the ICE would be the top priority.
I have one of the first generation rings, but could never really use it because, unfortunately, I'm a klutz and have to keep my devices protected in cases, etc. and the NFC won't reach through them... So, I'm definitely interested in this new ring.

Hey Guys
I use my current NFC ring for basing stuff. I change the using nearly weekly.
Normaly I use it to unlock my phone. Thats nothing special.
I was at the Gamescom. There I linked my little youtube channel as a short cut in my ring. And when people asked me what kind of channel I have I was like: Ok I show you something cool. Thats the easiest way to see what I make. Do your smart phone have NFC? I show you something cool.
And so I showed some people my Channel. Everybody said that they liked the method to show someone they stuff in the internet.But now I use my ring in my work. We have there a special room. Its locked with a NFC door. I talk a bit with my boss and now I can use my ring to unlock the door. Thats cool because I dont waste time to unlock the door with the chip on my keys :)
Here is a cool little picture of my ring ;)
