realBitcoinDog describing setting up a BitKey because of the incident and disliking the multisig custody trade-offs. A migration-experience account; the product criticism is the author's and this project does not endorse destinations. Captured through the site's public GraphQL API: the rendered pages crash the capture tab, and the API answers POST from this host. The query fixes the captured surface to the item's title, text and two levels of comments, each with author and absolute timestamp.

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 7 Aug 2026, 00:05 UTC.
