I can understand your point of view. For now the ring is not built to work like that; it works on the finger. But you bring an interesting conundrum and I think that we can add this as an optional for people to decide whether they want to left their rings unlocked or lock them. I still don't understand how the tangem ring would *know* it's not on your finger unless you have an actual information being transmitted, i.e. locking the ring, but we can probably implement a locking mechanism that you can activate from within the app. I'm not 100% sure if we will be able to include this in the absolute first release but I'll have a deeper look at it.

It's just antenna placement and shielding for the NFC. If you get it *just* right you can get it to scan while on your finger. But there is no way you can do it easily. Not so much tech as design.

Ok, that makes more sense. I'm not sure that's very good design though if you plan on using it daily / multiple times a day if you always have to take it off. I had figured it's more of a "lock your ring" type of thing which would've made a bit more sense in my opinion.

Perhaps 2 versions?
1 with an better antenna for the people who leave their tap to pay credit cards in their pocket.
And a version for people like me who have their tap to pay credit card in a RF blocking sleeve in an RF blocking wallet in a RF blocking pocket.

It's definitely good feedback and honestly not something we had considered a lot. For now I believe a good intermeidary solution would be offering an option where you can manually lock the ring from the app for a period of time. I will consider perhaps having 2 version, but realistically, from an operational & stock perspective I'm not sure that is viable for a first version.
