-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 These files are archives of various mailing lists pertaining to the bitcoin project. Background ========== The bitcoin-dev mailing list has migrated from Sourceforge.net where it was originally hosted, to Linux Foundation, to OSUOSL, and now it is migrating to Google Groups. New mailing list location ========================= The new mailing list is hosted here: Subscribe by sending email to bitcoindev+subscribe@googlegroups.com and then send a reply of the confirmation request message to bitcoindev+subconfirm@googlegroups.com. A public archive, using the public-inbox.org mailing list archive software, is located here: Mirrors of the public-inbox archive are welcome and appreciated. Hashes ====== Unless otherwise specified, all hashes in this archive are sha256 hashes. Here is the sha512 hash of a list of sha512 hashes of the mbox files: $ sha512sum mbox-hashes.sha512.txt f0ea9d46915341b1fa21ac5673ec7f016924a4c07f8247764894e47d40feab1f5d12346055d6cde80c7a5772712c7f7f619b11226fb380ebc8ec2b0a48bbdd72 mbox-hashes.sha512.txt Timestamps ========== The *.ots files are opentimestamps timestamps. These timestamps were aggregated into the bitcoin blockchain through the opentimestamps protocol. The timestamps can be used as a proof of existence showing that the file contents were at the very least created no later than the date (blockheight) of the timestamp. Some of the timestamps in this archive are older than other timestamps. For example, some of the timestamps of the earlier mailing list mbox files from before 2019 are timestamped with a 2019 timestamp. Others are timestamped in 2024 during the creation of this archive. It is possible that other users of the bitcoin-dev mailing list have earlier timestamps for individual emails. For more information see . Pipermail archives ================== In pipermail-archives/ there are .txt.gz files generated by mailman's pipermail on a regular ongoing basis. Files, formats, descriptions ============================ *.mbox - RFC 4155 mbox mailbox *.ots - opentimestamps timestamp *.mbox.hashes.txt - a list of sha256 hashes one per email in the corresponding mbox file *.txt.gz - mailman/pipermail-generated archives Other resources =============== The new mailing list is hosted here: A public archive, using the public-inbox.org mailing list archive software, is located here: The mailing list archive software: The previous host of the mailing list was Linux Foundation: Related mailing lists were previously hosted here: etc. is a git repository generated by public-inbox using the pipermail-generated archives. Another backup of the bitcoin-dev pipermail-generated archives is located here: sha256: a0b5978048cbfd44232709c4dbe193734a55c53ddae236b8870196a8320af278 sha512: be7159b3d47a3dfc12a50f2b5d07d3d6f671c07103f6217960b2585253030a5de5fe18ab14098448203f20e1ca17a285b5f07684393adc355ea86b907912cbe1 An (older) public mailing list archive can be found here: Previous communication regarding the migration to Linux Foundation away from Sourceforge: The following email was around the time that OSUOSL began hosting the mailing list (April 2019) in conjunction with the Linux Foundation: Previous communication regarding the 2024 migration: Authorship ========== These files are sourced from various collections and servers operated by a number of different parties. My work here has been to collect the files together into a single archive. For overlapping files that I previously had, I encountered no hash mismatches. I previously timestamped a number of older mbox files (for example) and I have included those more mature timestamps in this archive. A full verification of data integrity would at least involve comparison with archives from other list subscribers (such as the emails in their own mailboxes), other servers (such as OSUOSL, Linux Foundation, Sourceforge), verifying signatures in emails, verifying email headers, etc., which was not performed as part of this exercise.
