Signing devices and NFC
Cold Storage can now also be done with the help of NFC. With Satochip.io and TwentyTwo you now have two new outrageously beautiful variants in addition to the NFC-cabable Coldcard MK4. The Tag is Java-capable of a different sort than those from NXP.
With Satschip you get a signing device that can authenticate artpieces as legit which is a wonderful addition to the use cases !
Boltcard as an implant
Its doesnt come as a surprise but still a controversial issue – implanting NFC tags is back!
Since the HCCP21 which has had a high focus on NFC there have been several people like the one above, that took the offer to get a payment-method implanted via static LNURL links/NTAG215 chips. Since they are unsafe for bigger amounts, its only logical, that those tags evolved and you can now have a Boltcard-ready NTAG424 under your skin from https://nuro-ef40e75e30cd.herokuapp.com/
Further looking into the future there are also already implants using Java if you plan to do so.. https://dangerousthings.com/product/flexsecure/

Fund your card with a tap
Adding funds to your wallet has just gotten easier with so called LUD19 “Paylink discoverable from withdraw link” improvement. While before you had to import your Boltcard-wallet with the LNDhub extension to e.g. Zeus wallet or Blue Wallet to top it up more easily you can now add sats to your card from your funding wallet (so far BTCpay, CoinCorner, OBW, LNbits).
E.g. for LNbits you will need to add the TPoS extension to your the wallet that has the funds you want to add to your card. Then you set the amount you want to fund the card with, hit ok and tap the card to it. For the feature to work you need to have the “ATM” feature activated on your TPOS.
Spend and repeat 😀


A NFC capable LNPoS
Opago has managed to extend the features of the LNPoS with NFC functionality.
Please note that this device switches to offline mode if no WIFI is available (which is great!) and that this will disable the possibility to use NFC payments. Boltcards but also static voucher links need online connectivity on the opposite part – because they are offline themselves and only one of both can be offline.
