An anonymous satirical post asking how to privately spend 1367 BTC 'given to me by NVK's friends'. Held as a sample of community sentiment and gallows humour toward Coinkite; it makes no factual claim this project relies on. 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 .

3 presentation-noise differences. Sidebar, ticker and other page chrome churn that our review classified as not being changes to what the source says.
  • +7 -7 Comment ordering churn only: teemupleb's "Birthday present 27 days late!" comment moved to the top of the list with unchanged text.
  • +7 -7 The GraphQL response reordered an existing comment without changing its text.
  • +7 -7 Only comment ordering changed: grayruby's 'cowboy credits' comment moved from below wackster's to just under Scoresby's. No comment text was added, edited or removed.
How to check this yourself

The excerpts and plain unified diffs above show the text this project held and how it changed. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.

Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
