Issue dossier

The volunteer page asks volunteers to commit to all three days while naming a Friday August 6 through Sunday August 9 span, whereas the official event page says Payment Village will be on site all four days from August 6 to 9. The public pages do not explain whether this is wording drift, day-count shorthand, a shift requirement, or a substantive volunteer-schedule distinction.

Payment Village at DEF CON 34

Payment Village's official event page gives the August 6-9, 2026 Las Vegas Convention Center dates and says the village will be on site all four days with talks, workshops, competitions, and hands-on demonstrations. It establishes event context, not volunteer-badge form, technology, allocation, or final handoff.
