# Key Points from IRC Log

* ThomasEgi shared his experience with an RFID chip implant in his hand, which he's had for 3-4 years, allowing him to unlock an external hard drive by placing his hand over it - he described the chips as approximately 15mm long and 1.5mm in diameter.

* Lemminkainen and eudoxia discussed a cryptocurrency project called "Curecoins" being developed by the Pande lab (creators of Folding@home), which would use mining to solve molecular dynamics simulations.

* Several scientific papers were requested through paperbot, including studies on immunology (Nature Reviews Immunology articles) and what appears to be a dissertation from Purdue University.

* A discussion about RFID microchip implants for animals clarified that the procedure is simple, requiring only a needle injection rather than complex surgery, with ThomasEgi noting that human and animal biology is similar enough for comparable implantation.

* Users shared and accessed various scientific resources through paperbot, demonstrating the channel's focus on open access to research papers in fields related to transhumanism and biotechnology.
