Canada’s proposed Bill C-22 is so broad that my @opentimestamps calendar service could be a Electronic Service regulated by it. One calendar is hosted in Toronto.
C-22 requires metadata retention up to one year; my calendars delete IP logs after two weeks.
I will not comply.
🚨 Canada’s Bill C-22 is here & it’s the same surveillance bill from last year's failed C-2. 🚨
What does this mean?
❌ Your metadata would be stored by electronic service providers - for example messaging and email providers - for up to 12 months.
❌ The government would force these companies to build surveillance capabilities directly into their platforms.
The government calls it “lawful access” but we know that forcing providers to enable access to encrypted data puts EVERYONE'S privacy & security at risk. 😡
Because we know that there is no backdoor for the good guys only!
Help us fight for Canadian's privacy & say no to this surveillance bill.

It would be great if @x used @opentimestamps on all their posts. It would cryptographically prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that posts were posted when it says they were posted. Probably futile, but cc @nikitabier.
Good reason to use OpenTimestamps to timestamp your git commits: if GitHub, etc. does something insane to old commits, you can easily spot it because the timestamps will be wiped out.
Also, PGP sign your git commits locally!

This GitHub incident is insane. Merge queue commits have been reverting previously merged commits at random.
This not only breaks the mental contract teams have with Git in general, but is subtle enough to be really hard to unravel after the fact.

If people can send funds to bc1q83zmvtfks2dnvqfgcmxme24kah602cxr59h5v7 to get it back up that'd be much appreciated.
bellingcat.gitbook.io/toolki…@bellingcat's archival tool for social media posts, videos, and images uses OpenTimestamps.
YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, etc. won't provide a signature on their data. So the best verifiable evidence that an archive is authentic is an OTS timestamp.
.@internetarchive why are you not using @opentimestamps?
We are now in an era of seemless fabrication of content. Thermodynamic impossible to forge proofs of when data was first recorded is literally the most important thing on the internet now.
You can construct an @opentimestamps proof for the file @CommerceGov timestamped and the transaction fcf172401ca9d89013f13f5bbf0fc7577cb8a3588bf5cbc3b458ff36635fec00

So our independent work at Project Timestamper has been to digitally timestamp these 86 million individual recorded tracks to anchor their authenticity. We embedded these timestamps on the Bitcoin blockchain using the OpenTimestamps service.

I was renewing some domain names and noticed that the @opentimestamps domains were getting a bit close to expiry.
They're now renewed until 2035!
OTS is here for the long run!
Of course, that costs money. Help me keep it running for another decade: geyser.fund/project/opentime…

At the btc Berlin Hackathon we're doing a new award: The Most Unnecessary Use of OpenTimestamps In An Otherwise Serious Entry, with a 42,000sat prize.
With your donations we hope to guide a young hitchhiker to an entire galaxy of OpenTimestamps uses..
