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.

post: 1vil2qs author: RichHomieWan created_utc: 1786159432 title: Safely store BTC w/o HWW body: Due to the recent events with CC and the war on BTC, I am trying to find a safe way to store my coins. I’m by no means an expert In this space, just doing my part to stack sats. I am a CC user and have moved my BTC to strike as I wait for a new HWW which arrives tomorrow. Apparently tomorrow there is a potential chain split In BTC or something like that and I want to make sure my coins are safe. Outside of an exchange, is there a place where I can import a dice rolled seed phrase somewhere to secure my coins? comment: p2e9q03 parent: t3_1vil2qs author: OrangePillar created_utc: 1786159847 edited: false body: Roll your own seed. https://blog.bitbox.swiss/en/roll-the-dice-generate-your-own-seed/ comment: p2e9vcv parent: t3_1vil2qs author: [deleted] created_utc: 1786159904 edited: false body: [deleted] held before deletion (captured 20260809T020514Z): DONT REACT TO DM‘s. They‘ll try to scam you. TAKE YOUR TIME! DONOT ENTER YOUR SEEDPHRASE ON ANY ONLINE DEVICE My 2 sats: i think you still need a HW wallet. In my opinion, the risks by messing everything up by yourself is way higher than „trusting“ a decent HW company. Make sure to have a good passphrase and you‘ll do just fine :) Good luck comment: p2eahts parent: t3_1vil2qs author: abercrombezie created_utc: 1786160146Excerpt only.
