This is the super secret, super special number. Philips is currently using this number to share updates. This number is random and the sequence of this number does not reflect your position on the list.

Option 1
  1. Go to https://philips-picopix.backerkit.com/backer/review
  2. Right click with the mouse and choose View Source or Page Source (depending on the browser);
  3. On the newly opened page (you’ll see a lot of code), search for (cmd+F on Mac / ctrl+F on Windows) backer_id .

Thanks @Vin
