Well I think this will be my first kickstarter participation. The novelty of changing channels on a public set is alone worth the price for entry.

#32Amazing launch, congratz to Pavel and the team! I really like that it's extensible, has a battery and contains so much features for a compact device. Great multi-tool for me as a maker / hardware/software developer.
If you want to build something similar, this seems like a good place to start: https://hackaday.io/project/169103-low-power-esp32-handheld
That's pretty cool! I also backed Flipper Zero so hopefully will have the device in feb 2021 :D

#33Hi, founder here. I'm glad you liked it.
Super cool!
I have a rule for tools in my lab - only open source hardware. Will you consider releasing schematics?

#34So, why buy this v. s. building a pwnagatchi? Am I just missing the use case. difference?
I was sold on: > Flipper is made by makers who got tired of all these rough PCBs and bulky external modules.
I'm a maker and I DO love rough PCBs and bulky modules. And tangled wires and etc.
But I ordered (backed) a flipper on kickstarter instantly. Godspeed, guys!
Edit: the reason for me was a nice design and not spending time researching which chips to buy and reading through all the manuals. It is interesting to build it yourself, but once in a while I just want everything sorted out for me.

#35This looks awesome! Just backed - very excited for February!

From the page: Flipper was inspired by the pwnagotchi project. However, unlike all the other DIY boards for hackers, it's designed with the convenience of everyday usage in mind. Flipper has a robust case, handy buttons and shape, and none of these dirty PCBs and scratchy pins.

mmmm, scratchy pins... Though there's nothing like a DIP-16 chip biting into your heel...
Maybe that's why I prefer QFN chips nowadays ))

#37> Out of the box, Flipper Zero can emulate remotes for popular garage doors and barriers. You can keep hundreds of remotes in Flipper's memory as well as create a blank remote for the new wireless gate. I'm struggling to find an honest use for this.

Physical security pentesting?

#38Hi, founder here. I'm glad you liked it.
May I ask you how you are going to declare them in shipment notification? Will it be "Flipper Zero" or "Hacker multitool", for example.
I'm worried to order one myself due to possible questions from authorities.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Congrats on hitting your goal! What's it like watching the number go up?
Never see so much money, haha. But this just a beginning. Next challenge is to produce it and deliver. Also I'm afraid of NFC goal, because this is a HUGE part of new code. But I will do my best to get this project done.
I like that the stretch for NFC is supposed to be high enough that it's off limits, but the pledges are rapidly making it look possible.

#40Does this device have any security features? It opens garage doors, acts as a 2FA key, etc, etc. I wouldn't put any of my own data on this thing unless I could lock it somehow, but it doesn't look like it's designed for that.
Other than that it looks really fun!
