Screenshots of NVK posts, some already deleted, kept with dates and, where one exists, a link to an independent archive; solicits further screenshots via the #wtfnvk hashtag. Same operator and stance caveats as nvkwtf-articles. The screenshots are third-hand material: anything that matters here is captured from the original post or the independent archive it links before it backs a claim.
Every check is recorded, including checks that found no text change. A detected edit is therefore bounded between two checks. The publisher's exact save time is not observable from this record. Last checked .
This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at , which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
Snapshot and diff bodies for this chain monitor are held in the local evidence archive but withheld from the public site because they can contain the addresses of people who published nothing themselves. Capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.

The operator widened the page from NVK's own posts to what the Coldcard side published or endorsed, including the COLDCARD account, Coinkite staff and NVK's reposts, added sort and year filters and a receipt count, and grew the index from 7 screenshots to 13. The gap since 4 Aug is this collector's: a stale required_text marker blocked 36 consecutive polls, so intermediate states of this page were never captured and this diff spans the whole rewrite.
