CrawlCheck

Timestamp proof

Every report is fingerprinted, and each day is anchored to Bitcoin

In one sentence

Every CrawlCheck report is reduced to its measurements — host, timestamp, section scores, every path and status fetched, every crawler identity and what it received, the citation state — canonicalised and hashed with SHA-256, and each day’s digests are anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain with OpenTimestamps. That proves a report existed in exactly that form at that time and has not been altered since; it does not prove the measurement was correct, and this page says which claim is which.

A report is a claim about what a server did at a moment in time. Until it is anchored, the only evidence that it said so — and that nobody edited it afterwards — is our own database, which we control.

1,318 report fingerprints in these 7 roots, 6 of them already in Bitcoin. Click a day for its root and its .ots file.

The citation state is inside this digest too. The names, the phone numbers, the address, and every profile the site claims — with what each one answered when it was checked — are part of the fingerprint. It does not mean a directory indexed anything: no timestamp can do that. It means the state of those listings on that date can be proved rather than remembered.

What this proves: that a report existed in exactly this form at that time, and has not been altered since. What it does not prove: that the measurement was correct. Those are two different claims and only the first can be settled by mathematics.

How it works

  1. Each report is reduced to its measurements — host, timestamp, section scores, every path and status fetched, every crawler identity and what it received — canonicalised with sorted keys and hashed with SHA-256. Wording, layout and section copy are excluded, so an editorial change never invalidates an existing proof.
  2. The day’s digests are sorted and folded into a Merkle tree: parent = SHA256(left || right), an odd node paired with itself. Sorting means the order scans arrived cannot change the root.
  3. The root is submitted to the OpenTimestamps calendars, which aggregate it into a Bitcoin transaction. No wallet, no fee, no key held by us — the proof is a file, not a coin.
  4. Anyone verifies it with the reference client and no permission from us: ots verify -d <root> crawlcheck-2026-09-27.ots

Every sealed day

46 days anchored. Each links to its own root and proof file.

A fresh submission reports pending confirmation until the calendar’s next Bitcoin transaction confirms, usually within a few hours. Run ots upgrade on the file after that and it carries a block header attestation permanently.

Questions about this page

QWhat does the Bitcoin anchor prove?
That a report with exactly this digest existed no later than the anchored block, and that it has not been edited since. It is a proof about time and integrity, not about correctness.
QHow do I verify a report myself?
Download the day’s .ots proof from this page, recompute the report digest from its JSON record, and verify the proof with the OpenTimestamps client against a Bitcoin node or public calendar. No CrawlCheck server is needed for the check.
QWhy exclude wording and layout from the hash?
So an editorial change never invalidates a measurement. Only the measured fields are hashed; the words around them can be improved without the proof breaking.
QWhich days are anchored?
Every sealed day is listed on this page with its digest and proof file. Days are sealed once, after they end, and never recomputed. A day sealed within the last day or so reads as pending in the reference client: the calendar holds the commitment, and the Bitcoin block confirming it is usually mined within 24 hours. The proof file here is upgraded to carry that block header once it exists, so a pending file is a proof waiting on a block, not a missing seal.
