Issue dossier

The repository README calls the project a DC-34 DEF CON badge, but no reviewed DEF CON organizer or event source confirms its author, authorization, sponsorship, booth, seller, price, run size, fabrication, recipient eligibility, registration inclusion, allocation, pickup, shipment, completed handoff, admission role, or post-event outcome.

A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

public independent DEF CON badge-project repository

eggsactly/DC-34-Countdown-To-Singularity

Public GitHub repository whose README calls it KiCad 6 design files for a DC-34 Countdown-To-Singularity DEF CON badge. The root exposes board, firmware, board-art, library, and BOM areas. It establishes a source-backed planned independent project, not an official DEF CON issue, production run, seller, price, allocation, delivery, final-unit state, or image-reuse grant.
