How Proof works, in plain words: creating a proof, signing it with your wallet, saving it to the DigiByte blockchain, checking it, and what is kept and shown.

Four things worth knowing first
Keep your original
Proof keeps a fingerprint, not your file. To show that a file matches its proof later, you need the exact same file. Why it must be exact
Stored text is public
Text is kept only if you choose to store it, and stored text is shown to anyone with the certificate link. For anything private, leave it unstored or prove a file. What is public

Topics
Getting started
What Proof does, the three levels a proof can reach, and what you need for each.
Creating and signing
Making a proof from text or a file, publishing it, and signing it with your wallet.
Saving to the blockchain
Stamping a proof on DigiByte, paying the fee, batches and confirmations.
Checking a proof
How anyone checks a proof against the original, what the downloads contain, and how to check every part without trusting DigiStamp.
Wallets, privacy and your proofs
Which wallet to use, what is stored and public, and revoking a proof.
- Wallets and Digi-IDThe DigiByte wallet you need, your one Digi-ID account, the address a proof is signed with, and paying the stamp fee.
- Privacy and what is publicWhat Proof keeps, what anyone can see, and what is written to the blockchain for good.
- Revoking a proofTaking a proof's certificate down: who can, what stops working, what stays on the blockchain, and reporting someone else's.
