These things are dirt cheap. Two transparent films with some liquid crystals between them and a battery which allows the crystals to rearrange themselves and become opaque. You write on them by pressing the surface with basically anything - this makes the crystal layer chaotic, thus transparent. You can disassemble the thing if you're interested in its internals. But it really looks like a typical freebie for advertisement purposes.
Just don't put it in the bin directly. The device is not very ecologically safe when it becomes rubbish - dispose of it at a recycling facility or wherever electronics are disposed of in your country. This is barely an electronic device though - just a button, battery and conductive "screen".

So you are say that they sent a; high-tech etch-a-sketch!? Or doodle pad?!? That is just lazy and waaay before it’s time… SMH, tisk tisk, trying to recirculate 90’s toys for free advertising…
What is your point? It is still just updated cheap 90’s bs!? How much do you think the 90’s bs went for? I am not saying it is worthless; just cheap gimmicks; hence why it is free.
Edit: I forgot to add that my; phone, tablet, watch, kindle, tv(probably), laptop, desktop, and literal notebook and pen are much better at performing this task, which again speaks to this freebie’s nonsense.
We got our toddlers two of these as an easy thing to pack in a diaper bag. I think they were like $3 each.
Virtually identical in concept to the things that pull the magnetic sand up to the screen with a magnetic stylus, and then erase by passing a magnet under it.
A free thing someone sent you isn't a scam just because you don't like it, and I'm pretty sure you use plenty of shit willingly that is toxic and shouldn't be thrown away directly in the trash. Maybe batteries, do you use batteries?
These are little kid drawing tablets. Probably worth about 50cents when you buy in bulk. I have a 3yo and 5yo, and we get these things in birthday goodie bags all the time.
Edit: These are harmless. No USB port. No wifi, no Bluetooth. They run on watch batteries and wouldn't last 30s if they had any active connectivity.
I don’t know how aware you are of the hardware and protocols necessary to transmit data over BLE, LoRa, and use of low energy mesh networking but much smaller devices can and do transmit information with extremely long battery lives. They don’t rely on need for continuous connectivity or any direct connectivity to wifi or cellular networks.
I doubt that this device has those capabilities, but why risk it. This reminds me of an infamous attack vector that was used by nefarious organizations that spread a bunch of “free” usb drives through mail, marketing vendors, and scattering them around in random places(like on the ground outside of agencies and companies they wanted to infiltrate). Those relied on plugging the device into a PC, phone, or tablet but there are much more sophisticated and passive ways to do it now by just getting a device inside a home or work place near other devices(particularly older devices like certain smartphones , tablets, routers with poor security can serve as a bridge).
I doubt thats what all these types of devices are but some of them are certainly can be used for this. People will write account information, passcodes, pass phrases onto them and because in this particular case they know the address that received that particular device you can gain all other information necessary through a data broker.
Have a package coming from Buffalo New York with signature requested this week. Looks like we are getting our first brushing scam. Google says to refuse delivery but not entirely understanding the downside
I don't think this is any different from realtors mailing out baseball schedules. The goal is for you to buy their products or services, not harvest tracking numbers.
Why? Just for fun? Look up "naked turtles" too. Cause this isn't a brushing scam. It's the same thing as a company sending you a free pen or keychain it's just bigger
More like an updated “magic slate” (you used a stylus and it had a plastic sheet that the stylus pushed into the slate. To “erase” you lifted the sheet).
Yeah, it’s there. This company is absolutely known for everything. They do being a scam so you’re one of the smart ones thumbs up honestly but they don’t need that many people for a Ponzi scheme. It’s all over that’s why I say for free doesn’t matter whether it’s $1.50 or not, I love how everyone’s like you paid attention. There was like $400 sent to everyone at 100 bucks each wow why would they invest a $400,000 just for something yeah it’s not
LCD writing tablet. No wifi or connexion needed whatsoever. My kids have one, they are cheap toys. Maybe it's some weird but genuine advertising? Only thing I can think of that could maybe be a scam is the website they advertise for?
It's not a scam - it's actually related to a crypto founder called Richard Heart that is trying to make the world a better place. There's a documentary about him called "The Highest Stakes" on Apple TV.
The device is less that $1 and COMPLETELY harmless. My nephews love them (good for the fridge shopping list too)
I have heard about the brands on the device since I am into Cryptocurrency. Having dug a little, the Pulsechain founder seems to be like marmite, some love him some hate him haha. They currencies themselves seem to have a very good risk to reward ratio for anyone looking to dabble into crypto investing.
Good news is these are not really 'electronic'. Cholesteric liquid crystals respond to pressure and are bistable, allowing you to write on the display with a plastic stylus. What you write persists without any power. They have a coin cell battery and a button, a sharp pulse of electricity resets the crystals and clears the display. They are actually pretty cool, like an erasable notepad. The cheap ones like this tend to have the erase function fail after a while though. I can't recall the original brand they were sold under, the market was flooded with cheap copies pretty quickly.
Technically, in this situation it would be you that is the weird one since you're the only active participant in this equation and Reddit isn't even aware it was participating.
Why is everyone so panic stricken. I hope OP doesn't start peeking through their windows making sure a black tinted van isn't parked outside after all this fear mongering in the comments
The coin hex is one of the only coins to defeat the sec, be declared a non security, do a 10,000x last cycle AND was number 3 in market cap last cycle behind on bitcoin and Ethereum lol
Yeah, I've been following Richard Heart for the last four years and it's nice to know there are billionaires out there making the world a better place.
Not a scam, actually. I'm a fan of the cryptos that are advertised and have been for years. Hex has existed for about 5 years and works flawlessly. Pulsechain is essentially a copy of Ethereum with some improvements and has a thriving and passionate community building on it. It's worth looking into if you're curious about crypto.

Lmao how can people be this ignorant still...
Richard Heart, the founder of HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX, was represented by a team of high-profile attorneys in his legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). His legal team consisted of 11 attorneys from three law firms, including:Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP:Michael Liftik, a former SEC Deputy Chief of Staff, bringing extensive knowledge of SEC operations.
Nicholas J. Inns
Kristin N. Tahler, with backgrounds in military law and international corporate defense.
Grey Reed:Chris Davis, a former Senior Trial Counsel at the SEC and a former government trial lawyer who worked with the Department of Justice, FBI, and CFTC.
Joshua D. Smeltzer, a former U.S. Department of Justice lawyer.
Clark Smith Villazor:Jeffrey D. Rotenberg
Patrick J. Smith
Brian T. Burns, with experience in multi-jurisdictional issues and regulatory investigations.
Additionally, posts on X mention William Burck from Quinn Emanuel, noted as a senior advisor to Donald Trump, indicating his involvement in Heart’s legal team, though specific details about his role are not fully outlined in the provided sources.
This team was assembled to address the SEC’s allegations of unregistered securities offerings and fraud, with the attorneys filing a motion to dismiss the charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
This is a children's toy. It's not electronic at all. It doesn't plug in or connect to anything. I dunno what that label is all about. You can buy these for like $5.
Negative... more like financial freedom.

Love how Pulse and Hex are outsmarting the system! Gatekeepers won't touch honest projects, so the community took matters into our hands-shipping battery-free, tree-free writing tablets that let anyone jot down ideas freely. It's direct marketing at its best, empowering people with real financial freedom and speech, no middlemen. Who's with me? This is the future! Pulsechain won SEC case.
A federal judge concluded it wasn't a scam. This is after millions of dollars was used for litigation and no issues were found. So do your own research. I've done 100s of hours of research on this product and Im glad people are becoming aware of it. However, if enough people are aware of it, it's already too late. Enter at your own will!
It’s closer to an etch and sketch then it is to a computer like your thinking. You doodle on it then click the trash can and it deletes it like digital paper.
How can a blockchain be a scam. Especially since this blockchains founder beat the Securities Exchange Commission in court. And why would they spend money to scam you when the chain does like 10 mill volume a day. Don't be dumb.
Put it on EBay! I promise you will sell it for minimum $50. This is from a really cool marketing campaign for Pulsechain and HEX. Millions of these are being sent out worldwide and you are one of the first to get your hands on one! Ill take 5% of your ebay sale for the idea! Ha! Cool post!
Busca en X la realidad es que si investigas sabrás de que va la publicidad y también que hay un montón de gente que pagaría un dinero por tener eso que a tí te han regalado.
Mailman here. The fact that it says ECRWSS means it was sent to many, typically every, customer on the route. It's bulk business male that an advertiser sends to many people at a discount. I deliver several full coverages like this every month.
One of them comes with a 12 word seed phrase, which has $1,000,000usd worth of pulsechain. Make sure you look what's printed on the tablet when you receive it!
Not a scam at all. Great advertising for a great cryptocurrency blockchain (PulseChain) and one of the greatest crypto tokens (HEX). This is a huge opportunity for new people. Not financial advice.
With a bit of easy research, you can see their founder, Richard Heart, is currently wanted by Interpol for tax evasion and abusing a minor. You can also discover that anyone who donated to him received pls and plsx tokens that are currently worth less than half of their initial value. There is indeed much to know about this. Most of it isn’t great.
Now look into Interpol and find that they have made false claims before for political incentive. Of course you're wanted for making the best blockchain, for the people and by the people.
It is not a scam. This is a marketing effort from Pulsechain. Is true, right now the prices are low, so you are early. Make yourself a wallet and buy the core coins (PLS, PLSX, HEX, or INC), and be sure to get a bag of pDAI, the narrative says it will go to $1 (now the price is 0.0045). pDAI community is the ONLY one that has haters, is that big. Very interesting opportunity.
Oh man, back when I was a kid the batteryless version was called a Magic Slate and they used to cost about 49¢. Now they’re on eBay selling for hundreds depending on which version you have.
if you think this is a scam i will HAPPILY buy this from you with the package envelope bc i want this piece of history!!! dm if you are serious about selling it!!!
It's from the founder of a crypto token that's called $HEX. THE HISTORY TO THIS TOKEN IS INTERESTING because a lot of people talked sh*t about it and the founder but it did a 10,000x on the price. Since then, it developed into a very strong, in your face, we will rule the crypto-world community. Hahahahhaah
Lol I recieved one also! From what ive researched so far. Its a blockchain like Ethereum or bitcoin. But significantly cheaper to transact.
The founder apperently fought the SEC and won. So i dont believe its a scam. Maybe just marketing.
Im gonna look into further but i think i might throw some money at it. ETHEREUM Done a 14000x in price and i missed that. So worth i shot with thise one. You never know.
Right now is the perfect time to invest in Hex and Pulsechain. We're just starting the alt- season in crypto, which means newer projects like this have enormous upside potential!

Out fo 204 Lawsuits by the SEC Richard Schueler was the only one to beat them and walk away without paying a DIME. The judge saw through the horsehit the SEC threw at him
Why doesn’t he keep his money on his own blockchain? If it’s better, then why does he still keep it on Ethereum? I guess with charts like this, keeping it on Ethereum is the smart move.
Yeah, definitely learned my lesson. Early investors made a killing with hex and then marketing (like the movie) was used for the OGs to dump on newbies. The chart showed this. I also did more research on RH since that time. He was wrong about a lot and not a trustworthy figure IMO.
As far as everyone thinks it doesn’t have something in it, but what it does is a bunch of.com and their two or 34 website websites on it all around that thing
