xbt.im : THE FOUNDATIONAL RECORD : STATEMENT OF STAMPING
July 6, 2026
================================================================================

This statement accompanies the OpenTimestamps attestation of the xbt.im
foundational record: three documents, and the two generators that build them,
frozen on this date.

The record consists of a whitepaper describing the protocol in full; an origin
story, in the founder's voice; and a position paper on inscription ethics,
permanence, and footprint. The generators are the exact instruments that
produced the three documents, preserved so the build itself is part of the
record.

The SHA-256 fingerprints of the five artifacts:

Six files are stamped: the five artifacts above, and this statement. Each
file's OpenTimestamps receipt proves that its exact bytes existed no later
than the Bitcoin block that confirms it. Stamping this statement binds the
five fingerprints into one attested set.

Anyone may verify any of these files, at any time, using only the file, its
receipt, and the Bitcoin blockchain. No authority needs to be asked. That is
the point.

So that no mind is forgotten.
