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.

Obviously not for storing bitcoin, but what could we use the device for? Some people say to use it as a signer, but I'm just wondering if we can use it for other things, just an idea: encrypting, for example, SD cards. comment: p11w6h5 parent: t3_1vckh2n author: bullett007 created_utc: 1785583941 edited: false body: Use it as a wedge to adjust wonky tables, door stop, fidget spinner, paper weight, I heard you can play doom on it? Loads of things you could do. comment: p11wtbl parent: t3_1vckh2n author: Elistheman created_utc: 1785584208 edited: false body: Multi sig maybe… if you trust them even a tiny bit, I don’t.
