## What this proves, and what it doesn't

- Proves: each etch's exact words existed at the time shown. The time is set by Etch's server and checked against the moment a fingerprint of the words was recorded on a public blockchain, so it cannot have been edited or backdated.
- Proves: the record is complete. An etch can be retracted, but never silently — the tombstone stays. Anyone can confirm nothing was left off, from the blockchain alone, with https://test.etch.so/u/josephdcook/audit.mjs.
- Does not prove: whether any etch turned out to be right. Etch takes no position on that; judge it yourself.
- Does not prove: who controls the account beyond the identity listed above.
