i understand the "coolness" factor of running around with a btc lightning payment ring (like the #boltring) to show how easy it is to make #sats payments, but in reality it's a vulnerable gimick.
unshielded nfc tech like this begs for your coin to be stolen by a cheap rfid skimmer.

Not a fan of rings or watches for payments because it’s out there totally unprotected but I guess for some people making small everyday payments with its simplicity of use is probably acceptable trade off.
I’d use a satscard like implementation myself that’s in a rfid blocker wallet
good on you. it's a gimmick. you can't sufficiently rfid block a ring on your finger.
I agree. Bolt cards and their offshoots are fun party tricks that are easy to implement, but ultimately distract from real UI improvements, such as broadcasting a Bolt11 invoice over NFC.
say again?
I love my Boltring.
+1
you can set limits on the bolt ring. also it has replay protection.
I'd argue that they aren't even cool. Not the best of products in this space that's for sure
