The project appears to be a concept with no verifiable digital footprint. The URL provided does not resolve to an active product site, and search queries yield no evidence of the brand or 'BlazeStone'. The claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false given the lack of market presence. The technical description (credit-card sized device with touch screen and multiple radios) is highly complex hardware that contradicts the lack of evidence and small team size. The submission contains significant red flags regarding credibility and traction.
