601 · ORIGINAL RESEARCH GIFT

Check the original gift.

The books and films have a recorded STARK check. The Stellar anchor has not been completed. This check covers the original files—not the continually updated country listings or this website.

The first two statuses reflect recorded prior tests, not a fresh independent run by this browser.

What can you check?

Download the originals, compare them to the published manifest, and run the pinned verification program. A completed Stellar anchor can then be checked against its transaction details on the public network.

A SIMPLE EXPLANATION

What was saved?

Three originals: the research PDF, opening film and research film. A small file called manifest.json records the names, sizes and exact checksums of those originals so anyone can tell whether they have changed.

Get the three original files using the links below.
Compare those files against the original manifest.
For the complete check, run the Linux program with the STARK receipt.
After the Stellar anchor is confirmed, its transaction can be checked separately. That anchor is still pending.

This is the exact saved 621-byte manifest, shown here so it can be read even when this page is opened alone on a phone. No separate file is needed just to see it.

In the complete website package, the original unchanged file is at verification/manifest.json. Use that file—not copied text—for byte-for-byte checking.

Run the full check (Linux / WSL)

Download all five original files below. Place the three media files, receipt.bin, the Linux verifier, the unchanged verification/manifest.json and the read-only verification/verify_release.py from this public package in one directory.

sha256sum manifest.json
# expected: 60160174bf3622894d4cec9514cc08cf9e874779725cdfd6b2649d954c0599d8
chmod +x risc0-receipt-verify.exe
python3 verify_release.py --manifest manifest.json --artifacts-dir . --receipt receipt.bin --verifier ./risc0-receipt-verify.exe

The verifier has a historical .exe filename but is a Linux executable. The STARK check and the public Stellar anchor are separate checks.

Download the five original files

The original files are hosted separately on a public content-addressed gateway. Their availability must be checked at release time.

For technical reviewers

Use the Stellar STARK Verifier on Linux/WSL with the original PDF, two films, and receipt. This program checks the STARK proof; checking the Stellar anchor transaction is a separate step. Review the source files verification/verify_release.py and verification/VERIFY.md in the complete website package before running anything. The essential steps are also written above for standalone viewing.

The released on-chain transaction must have one native one-stroop payment from the pinned publisher to itself, the exact memo hash, bounded fees and time window, and be successful on Stellar Mainnet. The strengthened checker checks the transaction's operations endpoint as well as its memo.

No confirmed Stellar anchor transaction has been provided for this release. The original gift remains unanchored.

What this check does not say

The original STARK check does not establish whether a country program is currently accepting applicants, whether a visitor qualifies, whether any device was delivered, or whether the changing website is error-free. The latest source links and the separate Verify button are for current program checks.
