Chakra Badge Status Update

We assembled, tested and packaged the last of the Chakra badges at last night’s meeting, the last in-person group meeting before the big event.

I’m going to disable shipping for badges tonight. So if you want one shipped, and it’ll make it to you in time, order it today.

I have added “in person pickup at Def Con” as a shipping option. So if you’d like to reserve one for pickup in Vegas, use that option. Then make sure we find each other during the con.

If you plan on getting one, you can either reserve one by ordering it that way, or you can take your chances that we’ll have some left at con. We’ve sold over half of our supply, and we’ll probably bring about 50 to Vegas with us.

We’re very happy with the community’s response to this badge, and the feedback we’ve gotten so far. We finished the prize trophies this week, and decided not to post them in advance, so they’ll be a surprise. Again, the first three in-person finishers and the first remote finisher of our badge challenge will get a trophy!

Turns out EVERYONE will have fo flash the final firmware. Never fear, it’s easy. Just make sure you have a USB-C cable and a computer. Or find one of us, we’ll probably be able to do it for you at con. The final firmware is done, we just didn’t have time to flash all the badges before packing them up, so they all have demo firmware on (which is beautiful, but not competitive).
