I ❤️ Pimoroni.
Run by a Bitcoiner I think; at least they used to accept Bitcoin in the early days.

The hope is that the RP2350 microcontroller will be an easier platform on which to port SeedSigner to MicroPython. Getting us onto a microcontroller (while still fully supporting the original Pi Zero hardware/codebase, of course!) will open up some huge new possibilities.

Whoa! Checking now... currently only accepts credit card, PayPal, Shop Pay, G Pay.
Boo.
I think this is my first time ordering from them. Usually I stick to the US options. Adafruit generally has everything I need.
But this pimoroni board uses the RP2350 "B" variant (note the bigger physical package (um, heh)) which, crucially, offers more gpio pins than the "A" variant on the sparkfun board.
