Alphaproof for moderators

Separate real track records
from screenshots.

Trading and investing communities drown in fake performance screenshots. Alphaproof gives your members a verified, tamper-proof record, and gives you a one-line way to flag it. Every trade is SHA-256 hash-chained and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain, so edits or backdating after the fact break the chain and are detectable.

Why this is trustworthy

Hash-chained

Each trade carries a SHA-256 fingerprint that includes the one before it. Change any trade and every later hash breaks.

Bitcoin-anchored

The chain tip is committed to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps. Backdating after an anchor would require rewriting Bitcoin itself, and any attempt is detectable.

Broker-sourced

Most trades are imported straight from the member's broker (read-only). Manual entries are price-constrained and clearly labeled.

Publicly checkable

Anyone can open alphaproof.app/r/{username} and see the chain status and Bitcoin block. No account needed.

AutoModerator template

Paste this into your subreddit's AutoModerator config. When you give a member the "Verified by Alphaproof" flair, AutoMod stickies a comment on their posts linking to their live, cryptographically verified record. {{author}} is the Reddit username, and /r/{{author}} resolves to that user's verified page.

Set it up

  1. Ask members to verify. They connect their broker on Alphaproof and link their Reddit account (Profile → Account → Connect Reddit).
  2. Confirm the link. Use the lookup tool — type their Reddit handle and see the chain status, trade count, and Bitcoin anchor.
  3. Flair them. Apply your "Verified by Alphaproof" flair to confirmed members.
  4. Drop in the AutoMod rule above. From then on, their posts get a stickied proof link automatically.

Get alerted if a chain breaks

Rare, but if a verified member's chain ever breaks (a sign of tampering), we'll tell you. Subscribe with an email and/or an https webhook. Leave the handle blank to watch every verified member of your community.
