How do I check a proof without trusting the company that made it?
Check it against a public record the company does not control. Every sebbi.pro proof can be checked against Bitcoin in your own browser at sebbi.pro/forever, or offline with forever-verify.py, a single Python file that needs nothing installed and can use your own Bitcoin node.
How it works
- Get the Forever Proof file (from the receipt page, the company you are checking, or sebbi.pro/forever).
- Run python3 forever-verify.py proof.json, or drop it on sebbi.pro/forever where the checking runs in your browser.
- The verifier replays every step and fetches the Bitcoin block from two independent explorers, or from your node with --node.
- VERIFIED means the record existed before that block. Nothing from sebbi.pro was trusted to reach that answer.
Add --file to check that the original file is the one that was proven, --text for a Human Keys text, or --block for the decision itself if you are its owner.
