what the badge means
Verified on Bitcoin
When a meme shows Verified on Bitcoin — or a block number like Bitcoin #954,986 — it means the meme's fingerprint was sealed into the Bitcoin blockchain the moment we posted it. The timestamp can be stamped late, but it can never be moved earlier. So the one hard thing it proves is when we said it. You don't have to trust us — you can check it yourself.
How the seal gets there
- 1 We fingerprint the meme. Every image has a unique fingerprint — change a single pixel and it's a completely different one. That fingerprint is the meme's identity.
- 2 We seal it into Bitcoin. The moment it posts, the fingerprint is locked into the Bitcoin blockchain — like mailing yourself a sealed letter the whole planet keeps the key to. Backdating it would mean out-mining every miner on Earth. It doesn't happen.
- 3 Anyone can check it. Download the meme, run it through a free checker, and watch its fingerprint show up inside a real Bitcoin block — stamped before the event.
What the badge says
- locking on Bitcoin… Sealed, waiting for the next Bitcoin block to bury it (usually ~1–2 hours). Already un-backdatable — the block just makes it final.
- Bitcoin #954,986 Confirmed. That number is the actual block your meme's fingerprint lives in. Tap it to open a public block explorer — owned by nobody, checkable by anybody.
What it proves — and what it doesn't
- Proves we posted this exact meme at that time, unaltered.
- Does not prove the prediction was right — that's the point. Our edge is small and we say so: barely better than a coin flip, and we show the math.
- Does not prove we were first to post it, or the exact creation minute.
Check it yourself
Every meme has a short code and a /v/<code> page with the full receipt. To verify without taking our word for it:
- 1 Take the meme's PNG and compute its SHA-256 — it matches the hash shown on the verify page.
- 2 Run the proof file (.ots) through any OpenTimestamps verifier — it shows that hash existed no later than the Bitcoin block.
- 3 Read the outcome — it's just public price between the two dates, graded automatically. No judgement call from us.
You're trusting math and Bitcoin's miners — not CoinBra.in, and not even the timestamp server (it can only stamp a date later than reality, never earlier).
We prove WHEN. You decide WHAT.
The timestamp is the one un-fakeable fact. The meme itself stays a joke you can read both ways — we never spell out the exact bet underneath. We prove when we said it; you decide what it means.
