ToorCamp 2024 Shadybucks Wristband

Camp identity, Shadybucks payment, and Euphoria CTF artifact

ToorCamp 2024's source-backed badge artifact is modeled here as the Shadybucks wristband / Shady Tag flow: each attendee received a wristband at registration, activated Shadybucks at Shadytel, registered a Shady Tag handle, and used the badge or wristband trail as an entry point into the Euphoria CTF.

Why It Mattered

It extends ToorCamp beyond the 2018 electronic badge while staying honest about what the 2024 sources prove: a camp-wide identity/payment artifact and game interface rather than a recovered PCB badge archive.

Hardware

The official Shadybucks wiki says attendees received one Shadybucks wristband at registration, activated it at Shadytel, and could link an external burner wallet; the Euphoria CTF page says the first challenge was on the badge after Shady Tag registration at Shadytel. No source in this pass proves a public schematic, MCU, PCB, firmware repository, or exact electronics inside the wristband or badge.

Software & Apps

Public sources document a Shadybucks account flow, Shady Tag registration, QR-code wallet setup, sponsorship/points transfer, wristband/card acceptance tooling, and Euphoria CTF challenge flow. The record does not claim a released wristband firmware image, app source, or server implementation beyond those official wiki workflows.

Lore

The 2024 camp theme wrapped registration and play in Shadytel/Shadybucks/Shady Tag language. Euphoria CTF published the practical player path: register a Shady Tag at the Shadytel Experience Center, start with the badge challenge, then follow the remaining CTF tracks.

Issues & Camp Impact

artifact classification note

The public sources prove a Shadybucks wristband, Shady Tag identity workflow, and badge CTF entry path, but not a recovered universal electronic PCB badge archive.

The record is classified as an identity/payment and CTF artifact instead of inventing electronics, components, firmware, or distribution details beyond the official wiki.

Confidence: official wiki sources
Status: modeled conservatively
Timeframe: ToorCamp 2024
Source note: Shadybucks and Euphoria CTF wiki pages.

hardware-source gap note

No schematic, firmware repository, bill of materials, wristband electronics description, or exact badge hardware implementation was recovered in this pass.

Future work should revisit ToorCamp and Shadytel archives for hardware details before adding component-level claims.

Confidence: source review
Status: needs deeper archive recovery
Timeframe: current ToorCamp 2024 pass
Source note: ToorCamp 2024 official site and wiki source trail.

missing rights-cleared image note

No ToorCamp 2024 Shadybucks Wristband image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and ToorCamp 2024 Shadybucks, Shady Tag, and Euphoria CTF wiki source trail.

payment-system caution note

The Shadybucks page documents burner-wallet linking, sponsorship, transfers, and spending flow; this catalogue stores only artifact context and does not reproduce private account, wallet, or live transaction details.

The compendium keeps the badge-history record separate from any operational payment-system use.

Confidence: official wiki workflow
Status: documented
Timeframe: ToorCamp 2024
Source note: Shadybucks official wiki page.
