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
- 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. - 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.
- 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.

The two disputed findings (claim_findings[36] and claim_findings[37]) are both minor timeline date errors: the Wembley Stadium event is dated July 2016 in the timeline when the confirmed date is June 11, 2016, and the xcoinx marketplace is listed as closing in January 2016 when sources place the first closure on March 1, 2016. Neither error touches a core allegation; the scheme facts, conviction details, victim scale, and fugitive status are all confirmed by Tier 1 DOJ and FBI sources. The one unverifiable claim — that insiders internally called tokens 'fake coins' — is a minor color detail whose underlying substance (no real blockchain) is confirmed across multiple primary sources. Reviewer confidence is high (0.88), no link rot was detected, and coverage gaps are medium or low priority and suggest expansion rather than correction.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
