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.

The core narrative -- Modern Tech's MLM structure, the 40-48% return promises, recruitment commissions, the April 2018 investor protest, and the identification of eight named founders -- remains corroborated by independent contemporaneous sources (claim_findings[3], [4], [15], [16]). However, the page contains multiple internal contradictions: it dates the cash-to-iFan-token switch to both January and April 2018 in different sections (claim_findings[5], [11]); its opening timeline date and founding-date framing conflict with Vietnamese corporate records showing Modern Tech JSC existed for roughly four months, not the year-plus the page implies (claim_findings[9], [10]); it states the April 2018 protest involved 'hundreds' of people when its own cited Vice article says 'dozens' (claim_findings[14]); and it misdates a key government directive by a week while merging two distinct official actions into one (claim_findings[13]). Two coverage gaps rated high priority go to the page's foundations: the headline $660 million and 32,000-investor figures trace only to victim and protester claims relayed by local media and were never confirmed by police, a court, or a regulator, and the page never discloses this; and the page's account simply stops in April 2018 with no mention that no charges, prosecution, or case closure was ever found through 2026. A named individual's documented account of a more limited role is also omitted. The reviewer's moderate confidence (0.75) and the fact that the disputed items are largely dating and scale errors rather than a refutation of the central allegation keep the penalty toward the lower half of this band rather than the top.","score_delta":-20,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
