xbt.im : THE FOUNDATIONAL RECORD : STATEMENT OF STAMPING : SECOND EDITION
July 9, 2026
================================================================================

This statement accompanies the OpenTimestamps attestation of the xbt.im
foundational record, second edition: three documents, the two generators that
build them, and the changelog that records the editions, frozen on this date.
The first edition remains on the record forever at Bitcoin block 956960; this
edition supersedes it as the current text.

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 changelog is the plain-text register of editions.

The SHA-256 fingerprints of the six artifacts:

Seven files are stamped: the six 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
six 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.
