Hi Karl,

the certified document's hash is in three blockchains,
Bitcoin, ETH and Aion, which you can easily verify.
And I did not payed any cent for the transactions.

Regards
Stefan

I don't dispute this, aside from whether laws would influence anybody
likely to be able to make use of forging something like that, which
we've already made indirectly clear we have different values around.

This is what I'm worried about. Is this the same timestamping service
that was earlier shared on this list? I reviewed it and found it does
not actually store the hash on the blockchain. It instead stores a
hash in the document, that can be used with a hash on the blockchain.

This means if somebody infiltrates your government and does the same
thing, the blockchain relies on you (a) retaining your document and
(b) getting your document to anybody who checks the fake document,
when they do the checking, to offer you any guarantees.

If instead the actual hash of the document were on the blockchain, it
would be easy to check what was original, without you needing to
self-preserve and self-advocate.
