Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The catalogue preserves an observed marketplace state and intended pickup path without presenting it as a completed limited run or delivery report.
Evidence
First-party maker storefront for the $45/sold-out snapshot reviewed August 4, 2026; five-NeoPixel/ATtiny 814/dev-pin/USB-or-battery/custom-theme claims; partial-assembly terms; no-included-minibadges statement; and August 6-8 DEF CON pickup wording. Its product media do not state reusable-image rights.
Public `.ino` source defining a five-element eye/tongue LED array, ten named modes, a button, clock-labelled minibadge pins, and a 200 ms color update path. It is source-level behavior evidence, not a final shipped-firmware or support/release record.
Public DEF CON 34 response identifying Krampus Minibadge Holder as a new $45 Badge entry, with ghoul.lol as maker link and `distinctm1nd/krampus_minibadge_holder` as project source. It is submitter-provided pre-event association, not official issuance, final delivery, source-license, or image-reuse proof.
Public tree containing KiCad PCB/project/schematic files, a parts-list workbook, and a `krampus_minibadge_holder_saintcon_2025.zip` archive. The filename is lineage context only: it does not independently prove a 2025 distribution or identify a final 2026 production revision, safety validation, or fabrication license.
Public distinctm1nd repository whose README describes an ATtiny 814, small development connector, three-pin Sneaky Connector, and a holder for six minibadges. Its visible hardware, firmware, and image directories support traceability, but the reviewed root does not visibly supply a LICENSE/COPYING grant or prove final DEF CON 34 production parity.
Source trail
Primary first-party source for the $45 price, observed sold-out status, DEF CON August 6-8 pickup condition, five-NeoPixel, ATtiny 814, development-pin, USB-or-battery, programmable-theme, partial-assembly, and no-included-minibadges claims. It does not establish final inventory, payment, delivery, complete electrical specification, source license, official status, or image reuse permission.
Primary public hardware-source tree for KiCad PCB/project/schematic files, parts-list material, and a Saintcon-named archive. The tree is a traceable implementation source, not proof of a completed SAINTCON event artifact, DEF CON 34 final board, production order, electrical safety, hardware license, or image reuse permission.
Primary implementation source for the five-element eye/tongue LED constant, ten-mode state, button mode cycling, 200 ms update interval, color output, and clock-labelled minibadge pins. It supports source-level behavior only, not exact final LEDs, every-unit firmware, programmer configuration, release mapping, or end-user support.
Primary public project source for the ATtiny 814, six-minibadge-holder README statement, small development/three-pin Sneaky Connector wording, firmware/hardware tree, and lack of a visibly detected root license. It does not prove which source revision or mechanical configuration was offered for DEF CON 34, final manufacture, delivery, electrical safety, or a reusable-media grant.
Primary public self-submission source listing a new $45 Krampus Minibadge Holder with the maker site and public repository. It supports current event association but not DEF CON organizer issuance, admission, final manufacture, completed pickup, hardware completeness, or image rights.
