Is there any message from the Flipper Zero people that this is actually their device?

It’s not mentioned on https://www.flipperdevices.com/, neither on https://flipperzero.one/ or their Instagram?

They have been plagued with peopling scamming people in their name before

Hi, Pavel Zhovner here, Flipper Devices CEO. Yes it's our product, but it's not ready for announcement yet, so we keep it secret.

Right now, we are working on implementing Matter smart home protocol and will slightly change the product concept.

No need, the user profile (cryptographically) links to their keybase profiles which corroborates the identity. The future is here! :)

And... How do we know the key base profile is correct?

Here is how Keybase works: https://book.keybase.io/docs/server

Then take a look at the HN profile, which leads you to the Keybase profile.

I really wish keybase had taken off. I should have realized it was going to fail once they started adding the cryptocurrency wallet.

Keyoxide seems OK as an alternative: https://keyoxide.org/aspe:keyoxide.org:Q6B7ZBQITV7IE2RG4EMVK...

Doesn't have any of the social "features".
