Puzzled Hackers LED Badge (DEF CON 34) official checkout and team announcement

announced handoff route

The checkout lists Linq 3535 / Circle Bar pickup on Wednesday August 5 and Thursday August 6 from 7–10 PM PT and says there is no shipping. It says a receipt and offline QR claim code are sent after checkout; the Team says a badge must be collected at a meetup or by separately arranging DEF CON handoff, and the QR may be given to someone else. Those terms do not confirm venue access, checkout completion, code delivery, identity verification, handoff, or redemption outcome.

r/DEFCON Meetup Post #4 — Final Badges and Information

Contemporaneous announcement signed by the Puzzled Hackers Team. It corroborates the CTF-account free-redemption route, top-50 eligibility statement, capped paid allocation, post-cap giveaway intent, meetup/QR handoff terms, free badge-optional meetup model, location, dates, and the statement that an actual DEF CON badge is not needed for the Wednesday gathering. Reddit media is not a reusable image grant.
