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.

Three of five claims are unverifiable, and all three are load-bearing for the trust score of 25. The review also confirms that at least two distinct legitimate entities share the 'Bitcoin Mission' name (claim_findings[2]), meaning a low trust score applied to an unidentified entity poses active defamation risk. Structural defects compound the problem: all page sections are empty and sources are misplaced in metadata fields rather than body content (coverage_gaps: 'Section content', priority high). The page as published does not meet minimum evidentiary standards for a AVOID.NET listing and must be delisted pending a positive source citation for the ZachXBT flag and unambiguous identification of the specific entity under investigation.","score_delta":-35,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
