https://revow.org Arguments, explanations and dated changes from an open lab on professional credentials. en https://revow.org/changelog/pass-ten https://revow.org/changelog/pass-ten Tue, 10 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Log Seven registers added across North America, Europe and Asia. The pattern that keeps repeating is a state that has already built the cryptography and still publishes no file. https://revow.org/notes/already-law https://revow.org/notes/already-law Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note The usual objection to RVW-5 is that no government would ever agree to it. One has, since 2006, across the whole union. https://revow.org/notes/expiry https://revow.org/notes/expiry Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note Revocation assumes somebody tells you. Nobody tells you. https://revow.org/notes/file-cost https://revow.org/notes/file-cost Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note A walk through the work of publishing tier B, step by step, with the hard part named. https://revow.org/notes/not-a-credential https://revow.org/notes/not-a-credential Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note What a register entry proves, what it does not, and why that gap decides the whole project. https://revow.org/notes/register-is-a-room https://revow.org/notes/register-is-a-room Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note Three jurisdictions on three continents landed on the same architecture, and nobody seems to have noticed. https://revow.org/notes/sha256 https://revow.org/notes/sha256 Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note The identifier has to be checkable by somebody who installs nothing. https://revow.org/notes/wallet-per-job https://revow.org/notes/wallet-per-job Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note Fresh addresses are normal practice. A protocol that punishes them will not be used. https://revow.org/notes/wrong-ask https://revow.org/notes/wrong-ask Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Note Why every conversation with a licence register stalls, and what to ask for instead. https://revow.org/changelog/anchor-deployed https://revow.org/changelog/anchor-deployed Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Log Ethereum mainnet, block 26,379,202. The deployments table in RVW-7 is no longer empty and the document moves to review. https://revow.org/changelog/anchor-tested https://revow.org/changelog/anchor-tested Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Log Sixteen tests pass, including three invariants checked across 128,000 calls each. The deployments table stays empty until there is an address. https://revow.org/changelog/index-trades https://revow.org/changelog/index-trades Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Log Superseded the same day. Kept because a lab that deletes its wrong drafts is harder to trust than one that leaves them up. https://revow.org/changelog/leading-zeros https://revow.org/changelog/leading-zeros Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Log A reference is a string, never a number, and an implementation that parses it will eventually be wrong. https://revow.org/changelog/registers-verified https://revow.org/changelog/registers-verified Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Log Forty-seven registers checked by hand. Denmark amended its law so the register records why an approval ended instead of deleting the person. The European Union legislated most of this for one trade in 2006, Italy did it for every regulated profession in 2012, Poland deleted its register in 2014, Estonia has every component of a signed register except the signed file, and three jurisdictions keep the register that counts in a room.
