Record completeness checklist

Each row is a typed event attached to this Pith Number. Done rows show their third-party proof. Open rows have an inline form so you can complete them without leaving this page.

1 Anchor canonical hash to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps open

Stamps the canonical SHA-256 (f4e7f5e7c63e9a42ba4023bc...) across three calendars. Confirms instantly. Calendars upgrade to a Bitcoin-block proof in a few hours.

2 Mirror to Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) open

Submits the paper URL to the Internet Archive and records the resulting Wayback capture URL plus timestamp. Pith does not host the paper.

3 Claim authorship open

Identity-backed. The same flow as the paper page. Sign in with ORCID, Apple, X, or email magic-link; if your ORCID is on the arXiv author list the attestation is one-click and shows ORCID verified.

4 Sign a citation pointing at this record open

Records a signed citation. Pick a relationship (supports, refutes, extends, uses_method, depends_on, replaces, compares, cites). Pith signs the assertion server-side.

Verify this Pith Number yourself

Three shell lines recompute the canonical hash. If the hash you compute matches the one shown above, the record is intact end-to-end.

curl -sH 'Accept: application/ld+json' https://pith.science/pith/6TT7LZ6GH2NEFOSAEO6NB2WFV7 \
  | jq -c '.canonical_record' \
  | python3 -c "import sys,json,hashlib; b=json.dumps(json.loads(sys.stdin.read()), sort_keys=True, separators=(',',':'), ensure_ascii=False).encode(); print(hashlib.sha256(b).hexdigest())"
# expect: f4e7f5e7c63e9a42ba4023bcd0eac5afde2bf97abef8d16e58e03a6eb7fe2d31

Verify the Pith Ed25519 signature against the published public key:

  | base64 -d > /tmp/pith_pub.bin
python3 -c "
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ed25519 import Ed25519PublicKey
