Official docs, app stores, wikis, talks, repositories, and issue pages across the badge catalogue.
First-party public Shopify product payload. In this source pass it identifies the single $75 variant as unavailable and reports a June 24, 2026 publication timestamp. The payload supplies no inventory quantity, sale ledger, delivery confirmation, production audit, or rights-cleared image terms.
Organizer-controlled PWNEDCR home reviewed on 2026-08-04. It is currently the PWNEDCR 0x9 site, so it establishes live series continuity only and does not preserve a historical 0x08 event page, badge archive, maker credit, technical release, allocation record, or image-reuse basis.
Public live shop endpoint observed in the official storefront code. At this source pass it lists all first-run stock at zero: 86 $120 Standard, 25 $130 Pro, and five $140 RAD editions. It is a time-sensitive inventory/status record, not evidence of delivery, buyer receipt, or a funded second run.
Badge.Team homepage advertising HackerHotel 2027 badge ambitions and project phases.
Live seller page for SKU SS-TB, observed InStock at a USD 75 sale price from a USD 100 list price. It provides continuity evidence for the historical Tipsy artifact but does not label a distinct DEF CON 34 revision; its product photos are not copied because reusable image rights are not stated.

Punk Security's historical event timeline dates its BSides Cheltenham badge-sponsor appearance to June 3, 2023 in Cheltenham, names a talk on building the BSides Delorean badges, and calls them functional conference badges. It is maker-side event evidence, not an organizer recap, venue record, recipient ledger, or image-rights grant.
Punk Security's historical event timeline dates its BSides Newcastle badge-sponsor appearance to October 5, 2024 in Newcastle and says Simon Gurney would present the making of that year's conference badge. It is maker-side event evidence, not an organizer recap, venue record, recipient ledger, or image-rights grant.
Zachary Peterson's July 18, 2026 commit message reads Version 0.1 - FINAL: art, code, and PCB. 1000 made for DEFCON34. It is a direct project-publisher claim about a run, not an independent manufacturing audit, recipient ledger, pickup confirmation, or completed event handoff.

Jacopo Franco's first-person retrospective documents the clear PET flex-PCB concept, fold-to-cube form, ESP32-C3, 42 WS2812B LEDs, audio/sensor development context, custom cell, and production process.
