                Subject: Deprecation of Bitcoin-based Verifiability Proofs
                


                I originally created this overengineered proofs page to act as a form of warrant canary, but primarily to provide verification of our PGP key and contact information. I've decided to deprecate this page because Bitcoin no longer aligns with my values, and the page was excessive for what it provided.
                


                Reasons for Deprecation:

                - - Bitcoin no longer aligns with my principles of censorship resistance, decentralization, and minimalism.

                - - Using the Bitcoin blockchain contradicts my stance against treating it as a data storage layer, especially for a project that does not require notarization guarantees.

                - - Standardized trust mechanisms such as PGP and Git hashes already offer sufficient transparency and authenticity.
                


                What Changes:

                - - No further proofs will be issued via Bitcoin OP_RETURN.

                - - The legacy proof files will remain temporarily accessible on librenode.com/proofs for a period of 30 days for archival purposes but are no longer authoritative.

                - - PGP-signed messages and standardized trust systems will now serve as the primary method of integrity verification.
                


                What Does Not Change:

                - - The LibreNode PGP key remains valid and trusted.

                - - All hosted services remain operational and unchanged.

                - - This message is not a legal notice, takedown, or canary. It reflects a voluntary and philosophical evolution of our verification model.
                


                Legacy References:

                - - IPFS CID: bafyreibimfexv6sv6gfyispew2iakyz6olbfudjxrdggasx7vxlnp7oium

                  *May be removed at any time depending on the number of peers pinning it

                - - Bitcoin TX (no longer endorsed): d2fcebd0e375a8c765d008edfe87d434642ee6c6d2822335bc9a5a8fa297824e

                - - PGP Fingerprint: A418 1FE4 DBC7 CA2C 8F95 8016 75F4 BEA3 7987 9CC5
                


                Sunset Timeline:

                This page and its associated legacy proof files will be permanently removed on or after July 7, 2025.
  
                This is a planned and transparent removal, not the result of legal pressure, compromise, or coercion.
                


                Going Forward:

                LibreNode will continue to support strong cryptographic trust without relying on bloated or compromised infrastructure such as Bitcoin. We remain committed to transparency, decentralization, and user privacy.
