   It's sometimes important when you publish a proof-of-knowledge hash to come back and publish the plaintext within a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise you might, for example, be posting hashes for mutually contradictory predictions, and then after a given prediction comes true you just post the plaintext for that hash while not showing any of the plaintexts for your wrong predictions.

   I wouldn't want anyone to think I was doing anything like that! So here's the plaintext for my hash post of October 7th:

   $ cat foo; echo "" /me awaits the inevitable local emoji... $ sha256sum foo 0dac35d5bb2ea7453647e857ff1e115e6e5c2e07f709d1e72f5eaec58d3001fd foo $

   The context is too intricate for me to explain, so I won't. I'm just following up here now to retain credibility for any future proofs-of-knowledge I might post.
