How Receipts Work
- You write a Call.
- You press Lock It In.
- Our server records the exact Call and time.
- We generate a cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256) of the original.
- The original Call can never be edited.
- Any later updates are stored separately as notes.
- When the outcome happens, evidence can resolve the Call.
- Anyone can return to the original receipt.
The technical bit (optional)
Each Call is hashed over a canonical representation of its immutable fields (prediction text, author reference, timestamp, deadline, confidence and a random nonce). The hash lets anyone verify the original content hasn't changed. Note: a database timestamp proves when our platform recorded the Call — it is not, by itself, an independent third-party timestamp. The architecture supports adding external trusted timestamping later.
