The standard

Satoshi Gazette corrects in public. When a published piece is wrong, the correction is recorded with its date, what was said, what the record actually shows, and how the error was made. Pieces are not silently edited, and a correction is never removed once published.

Claims Under Review carries its own verdicts. When a claim's status changes, every published piece that relied on it is re-checked, and any correction that follows is listed here.

    The BLAKE2b Fork’s Early Issuance Ran About Nine Times Bitcoin’s Target Pace.

    Story · published

    What we said
    The story used normal majority-chain block production to rebut Knots’ description of a network slowing down, framed ASIC use as a rebuttal to ordinary-computer mining, asserted that compatible wallets meant only the fork’s own software, and repeated an unverified exchange-pricing anecdote.
    What the record shows
    The release’s slowdown description concerned the minority chain, not the majority chain. The project explicitly supports purpose-built ASICs. SG has not established a complete wallet-compatibility list or independently tested the opt-in per-signature replay protection. The unsupported mining/wallet generalizations and exchange-pricing anecdote have been removed. The corrected story separates these limits from the supporters’ node-cost argument.
    How it happened
    SG used evidence about one chain to rebut a description of another, generalized beyond what the cited observations established, and included market detail it had not independently verified.

    “The United States left the gold standard in 1971.”

    The first public worked example was not ledger-derived and linked Executive Order 6102 to 1 FR 1, an unrelated 1936 Federal Register page. This reviewed row replaces that citation with the order text, removes the unsupported 1974 restoration assertion, preserves the order's explicit exceptions, and replaces the seeded identifier with the deterministic ledger id.
