Zach Herbert asks whether someone created the nym switck solely to contribute the libngu code to Coinkite and then disappear, and requests that the nym's tweets be archived. Held as a dated primary question that precedes his later identification of DocHex with switck, and as an independently checkable lead about the provenance of the affected code. The inference is the poster's own and is not verified here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
