Hey guys
Up for auction is a set of badges from the 26th Annual DEF CON from the Monero/BCOS (Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Open Security) village hosted in Las Vegas this year. Unfortunately I was unable to make it and was lucky to see that they were selling some at the last week or so before the event online, so I got a few of these sets.
You can learn more about the Monero/BCOS village & this year’s DEF CON event following these links:

100% of the proceeds will be split between both funding requests for these guys with the 12 pound heads that make Monero’s math homework check out. I’m still currently without cable/WiFi and in the middle of a move so I can’t fire up my node to make a donation... If these requests fill up before the end of the auction, then all funds will be forwarded to the dev fund wallet. You can find their funding requests here:

hereThe test version of the monero hardware wallet is a radio-connected device that stores arbitrary data, such as a secret spend key or public address. The prototype is an NFC badge which can transmit the data stored to a smartphone. There are a few protection features to stop the badge being used as soon as it comes into contact with NFC-enabled devices; most importantly, you have to push a button for the device to transmit data.
The badge is composed of two halves, two separate devices on a PCB. First, there is a radio circuit which does not need a battery. Secondly, there is a battery, and 16 LED lights in a matrix to give the device some aesthetics and flash the color orange.
