ah as Thinkpenguin is only 2.5 people, one of whom does not
answer the support email, the probability that you were answered
*by* Christopher Waid (without realising it) is very high.  apologies
for not making that clear.

Thinkpenguin is not a sole trader, but there is only Bob (internal-only
technical R&D), Chris (main frontline support), and *one* part-time
helper.

it's a reasonable (but unclear) logical deduction.

hang on - you sent a message to *Crowdsupply* and got a response from
*Crowdsupply* saying "contact the project creators directly"?

that being the case, that was the correct response.

it's just not their responsibility to do that.

it turns out that Joshua has in fact gone out of his way to help, at
no obligation.

Joshua has - *PERSONALLY* - offered to carry out the testing of all
Cards, which was what i transferred 0.8 BTC to Chris for him to
do [which Chris appears, as best can be discerned based on current
behaviour and complete lack of responses, to have embezzled].
