It's hard to imagine how this could be faked short of digital manipulation, and it seems implausible that it would be a known high TC superconductor because it would warm up too fast. Absent the former explantation, I'm starting to believe this is real. Also, it's not like all the author's are unknown hacks. Hyun Tak Kim has about 10k citations (Google scholar, which sometimes combines people who have the same name though) and authored a paper in scientific reports which got L&K interested in collaborating with him. The guy seems to know superconductivity so I'm feeling rather optimistic about this.

So, it's easy to imagine how this could be faked.

Well, yes

Hoax is quite a strong word where there's been quite a few replication attempts with various degrees of success. Like others have said, we're not sure what this is, but it almost certainly isn't a hoax. As for this video, well, it's like all the other ones that came before it, we'll know more once we have more data/videos/replication attempts.
Some of the other videos were at least from some more or less reputable sources. This one appears to be anonymous, or am I wrong?
The source[0] seems to be the Douyin (TikTok) user 炼丹师阿翔[1], who also posted a different LK-99 demonstration video[2] a few days ago that shows similar results to previous demonstrations by other researchers.

Well, yes
I'm holding a small basket until one of the reputable labs reproduces this. Anonymous videos on Twitter are a bit too anonymous for me.

#36Is this material safe to handle?
It feels like this thing soon will start appearing all over ebay and aliexpress

Yes but what research institute are they affiliated with? For all I know this is an pseudonymous TikTok user who is good at faking videos. Why should I take this for anything but complete fiction?

#38Re: Flux Pinning in sample of LK-99?
#39is it possible in theory that flux-pinning could occur without actually causing superconductivity? because LK-99 seems to be decoupling alot of properties we thought were coupled if I'm understanding correctly?
It could be an entirely new hitherto unobserved phenomena, but that seems pretty unlikely. I think that having a bunch of tiny superconductors chunks separated by a regular conductor would explain a lot.

#40It didn’t pin, it bounces, if it was flux pinning it would not bounce when you push it down.
