# IRC Log Summary for #hplusroadmap (March 5, 2015)

The log contained minimal substantive discussion, but these points were noted:

* A user shared information about NFC implant technology from Dangerous Things, including a professionally marketed NTAG216 glass implant tag and sterile injection kits with lidocaine, which emerged from an Indiegogo campaign (https://dangerousthings.com/shop/xnt-ntag216-2x12mm-glass-tag/).

* A discussion of cryptocurrency regulation in China noted that the Chinese government recognizes Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies as "lawful virtual commodities" that are legal to trade, with fewer restrictions on cryptocurrency crowdfunding compared to the US.

* A user shared links to gaming videos featuring Kinect Sports and "Inizibles" (likely "Invizimals"), showing motion-controlled and augmented reality gaming technologies.

* Several users discussed Python programming tools, with recommendations for using the "sh" library (http://amoffat.github.io/sh/) as a superior alternative to subprocess.Popen for command execution.

* A brief mention was made of "Antha lab automation language," which was described as a "golang fork" but criticized as "obviously bad stuff" without further elaboration.
