What this site said, and where the chain stood.
Each time the company passes a checkpoint, the pages change and the change is sealed: the fingerprint of every page is written into a manifest, the manifest’s fingerprint is settled on the chain as a receipt, and the receipt is anchored in Bitcoin. And every morning, whether or not anything changed, the tip of the chain itself is stamped into Bitcoin. A stranger can verify both without trusting Recognitium.

How to check a version
Download the manifest of the version. Recompute its SHA-256. Paste the receipt ID at /verify: the engine answers and your browser re-derives the chain tip itself. For the Bitcoin proof, run the free OpenTimestamps client against the manifest’s proof file, as described below. The manifest lists every page with its own fingerprint, so any single page can be checked against it.
The anchors · a witness we do not own
Every day at 09:00 Paris time the current tip of the receipt chain is written to a small file and its fingerprint is submitted to the OpenTimestamps calendars, which fold it into a Bitcoin transaction. A few hours later the proof is final and names the block. What this gives a stranger: the chain tip of a given day existed no later than that Bitcoin block. Since every receipt is committed under the tip, every receipt sealed before that day inherits the bound. Recognitium cannot move a receipt later than the block, and cannot rewrite the chain behind a tip that Bitcoin has seen. The whole mechanism costs nothing; the calendars pay the Bitcoin fee.
Verify an anchor, with no account and no trust in us
Install the free client, then verify the proof against the anchored file. The verification needs a Bitcoin node; without one, the info command still shows the attestation and, once the proof is upgraded, the block height.
