I participated in the Kickstarter last year, along with a gazillion other people, and am waiting patiently for my Flipper Zero pet.

They asked the Kickstarter funders a month or so ago for their CC numbers for shipping cost, as well as shipping address, color preference, and any additional accessory&unit orders. But I don't know how soon the main production run will happen.

(I did find that a little funny: the idea of a bunch of customers of a "hacking" gadget, earnestly sending their credit card numbers and home addresses to a group of other hackers. :)

I always thought it was odd that people are afraid of giving away their CC# but willingly give away their browsing/shopping history, home address, phone, etc.

My CC has fraud protection, and I can always get a replacement. all those other things have 0 protection and are not easily changed, especially home address.
