BTC-linked timestamping solution[edit source]

Sorry Louis, for making this page on the wiki.

In order to watch your youtube videos, I use one of the Invidious services.

On the video page I couldn't see your email in the summary.

Here is a possible solution for a way you can self host an archival service AND have it be zero-trust:

Use the BTC squarechain (banned words not letting me post) as a date and time marker to digitally sign an archived webpage/picture/video using your BTC private keys.

(Optionally / Preferably): You would run this host as a Tor onion site and/or I2p eepsite.


Disclaimer: I think BTC is horrible as a form of money.

However I think it's undeniable that the BTC squarechain (banned words not letting me post) is a form of timestamp that can't be edited by any person or entity in the world currently.
