Hi Doma,

These are links to public posts containing cryptographic hash values generated from documents that I wrote on or before the dates of the posts. By posting these hash values publicly, I’m proving to the world that I said something specific at a specific time. The world does not know what I said, and only I can produce the documents which, when hashed, produce these exact hash values.

I hope this helps. :)

Kindest regards, Damon

Damon, for those who are not native in gibberish, care to translate?

Cheers, Doma

To All,

Well, that's a of little use if the only copy is on your private website (which you can change at any time). So my email contains a dump of the current hashes (scroll down).

I'd also like to use the opportunity to point out to everyone the state-of-the-art whistleblowing tools. If you are attempting to blow the whistle, do NOT do so from home or work. You will need the tor browser, which is a browser connecting to the anonymization network tor (such that no attacker, not even the recipient knows who you are). You need it to access a SecureDrop site. SecureDrop is a web service that some whistleblowing organization or newspapers offer, which enables you to hand documents to them and communicate securely and anonymously with them. Install the tor browser from https://www.torproject.org. Then start the tor browser and open with it the following URL: https://securedrop.org/directory. It lists various destinations, mostly news organizations. Copy the .onion address of your preferred destination and paste it into the address bar. You are now connected to the destination's SecureDrop service. Follow the on-screen instructions. (For extra security, compare the directory's .onion address with the .onion address listed at the service's landing page. You might also want to consider using tails: https://tails.boum.org, and verifying GPG keys)

I've written a guess on what Damon is hinting at. I will reveal this guess at some later date, but for now here is the hash value:
