#3Instead of the somewhat fuzzy method of dating via news, couldn't they combine this approach with that recommended by Errata Security to use bitcoin as a public ledger? http://erratasec.blogspot.com/2013/05/bitcoin-is-public-ledg...

#4I don't see the usefulness. You can sign a lie cryptographically just as well as a fact.

The government isn't allowed to force you to lie; they can force you to be silent. By updating this regularly it then becomes apparent when you have been forced into silence.

Dating with news can be somewhat fuzzy, which is why we always take our news from the financial press, and attempt to datestamp with "material" information ... that is to say, news with a very high monetary value that the market is racing to receive.
You could (conceivably) make up plausible future stories, but not things like quarterly results, lawsuit outcomes, etc.

This document was first published in 2006. We've been operating the warrant canary for just over 7 years now.
