The watch one doesn't seem noticeable to EMTs. Silicone sounds comfortable, but I thought these are generally made of metal or other more durable substances to ensure they don't break, melt, etc., if you're in an accident.

Daily check in call service For individuals who live alone and are closer to death, you might consider having a service that can call you every day, and then call emergency contacts if you do not respond. This way you would not go for longer than a day or so of legal death without being discovered....

Well, we had a few spam posts sneak through. Still not sure how. Any new user is supposed to require post approval, so I'll keep going through the settings to see if I missed something. I don't think any of them made it into my email notifications. Perhaps you are the only one who got notified sinc...

Please do something about the spam. I have 20 new spam notifications from the past week.

Stopping registration completely is not a good tactic. The tactics I listed in my last comment work better.

New account approval works very well for me on my forum. There are addons I use that show the IP type (VPN, etc.), and let you know if their IP, email, or username has been banned for spam on other forums. If you pair that with checking for "temp email addresses" or email addresses from ce...

This particular forum is designed so that anyone can peruse it years later. The discussions persist and are easy to find. Yep. That's why I prefer forums over the other options. However, people perusing this thread years later won't be of much help to what you posted today, since what you posted re...

Starman would like this, as it supports his desire to recruit the masses to cryonics. It's unfortunate how spread out the cryo community is over different email groups, social media, and forums, so discussions/ideas like this one reach a very small percentage of cryonicists. If we were more connecte...

Ha! Interesting replies

If we get a phone call, we would have nobody to send to check on you unless you had a local advocate. The police... for a wellness check, which is what this thread covered. I personally spent months trying to build alert software. It's just too hard, which is why it doesn't exist yet. The CI app ex...

Even if someone has a lot of money to spend, most people don't, and inexpensive options should be available soon. It would be important that your patients/clients have something available to them too no? Nikki's app isn't too far away, and that'll reduce the alert delay down from 1 hour to just some...

I wrote to Alcor but haven't received a response. We also discussed it more in the private CI group, but apparently no one is interested. I think it's vital to have a service that can respond to CI app alerts and call 911, so hopefully more people contact their cryo providers about this. Dennis Kowa...

Thanks!

I discussed it with Nikki a bit, and her group does have plans, but they're long-term and not necessarily the most optimal solution. Some things to keep in mind: It's important for the police to arrive ASAP because of restrictions/laws around messing with dead bodies. So you can't have a non-police ...

Well, it sounds like you're all set then. If she's as healthy and young as this guy there's no need to worry.

There is no way you're the only cryo in the Phoenix area.

Starman, it's not clear to me from your response whether this is something you care about. I assume you're using the CI app and depending on your wife to notify Alcor if you die? What if your wife dies before you? You would rot for days with no one knowing? Have you tried to form groups like Minneso...

It might be possible to set up Cloudflare as a front end and have them block bot traffic. https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=cloudfl ... ock%20bots

I use their free plan on my forum. I'm not sure if they block bot views though.

A related thread: http://forum.oregoncryo.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11 Hi, Here at my city and in my province, we have a service for old people who are alone. The police call the old person alone, everyday and the person needs to press on a number, number 1 I think and then the police know that th...

So you're self-hosting this on your own server? Why is there no https?

The CI 2023 Annual Meeting had Nikki present her progress with https://www.cryonicsmonitoring.org. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtAnD1nr8EQ&t=3939s. The main benefit over the current CI phone app https://cryonics.org/members/ci-check-in-app/ is that the alarm/alert could go off when yo...

So she had a completed contract but it wasn't funded? Was this the primary issue? Did her family chose to cremate her because of the cost? This reminds me of the warning Mike Darwin made in regards to CI having never had a court case defending one of their patients, when contrarily, Alcor has shown ...

Jordan, to people such as myself who do not believe that 3 days necessarily equates to complete information-theoretic death (I refer to things like memories stored in DNA/RNA), this is extremely concerning and cannot be brushed off as "they actually did no harm since she was already dead"....
