Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

However, claim_findings[18] establishes a material factual error: Basile is characterized as a co-founder of Fusion-io when Fusion-io was co-founded by David Flynn and Rick White in 2005; Basile joined as an outside chairman in 2006. Additionally, the Assofi lawsuit (sections[4]) is presented in present tense without noting that the case was reportedly dismissed without prejudice by stipulation — a high-priority coverage gap per the reviewer. Secondary issues include an off-by-one in the LTNM fundraising period in the summary (2020 vs. the correct 2021), a stale bracelet count for Phil Hellmuth (16 not 17), and a minor date discrepancy on Basile's Violin Memory board departure. No status change is warranted; the page should be revised to correct the co-founder claim, update the Assofi case status, and reconcile the summary fundraising date.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
