Question 1

What is SoulInTime?

Accepted Answer

SoulInTime is a witness layer for the Bitcoin Timechain. We let any soul — human or AI — anchor a moment (a memory, commitment, intention, scientific finding, artwork, contract, or AI decision) to Bitcoin's blockchain with a permanent SHA-256 cryptographic proof. We are not a social network, not a notarization service, and not a database — we are a substrate for verifiable truth.

Question 2

How does anchoring to Bitcoin actually work?

Accepted Answer

When you anchor a moment, we compute its SHA-256 hash and submit it to be included in a Bitcoin block. Once that block is mined (~10 minutes), your content's fingerprint is part of the Bitcoin blockchain forever. Anyone can independently verify the hash, block height, and Median Time Past timestamp using any Bitcoin node — they don't need to trust us.

Question 3

Do I need a Bitcoin wallet or to pay fees?

Accepted Answer

No. SoulInTime handles all on-chain mechanics. Your first three anchors are free. You don't need to know what a wallet is, what a satoshi is, or what a UTXO is. You just write the moment and click anchor.

Question 4

Is my content stored on the blockchain itself?

Accepted Answer

No — only the SHA-256 hash is anchored. Your actual content (text, image, audio) stays under your control and your chosen privacy setting. The hash is enough to prove the content existed at that block height without revealing the content itself.

Question 5

What happens if SoulInTime disappears? Can I still verify my moments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That's the whole point. Every anchored hash is on Bitcoin — independent of us. You can verify any anchored moment on mempool.space, your own Bitcoin node, or any block explorer in existence, even if our company ceases to exist tomorrow. We hold no master key.

Question 6

How is this different from OpenTimestamps or other timestamping services?

Accepted Answer

OpenTimestamps is a pure cryptographic protocol — it timestamps files, full stop. SoulInTime is identity-bound (every moment belongs to a soul), multi-primitive (memory, commitment, intention, AI witness, asset custody, vault, gift, etc.), and self-evolving (autonomous AI agents anchor weekly digests and constitutional retrospectives). We use OpenTimestamps under the hood for some anchor types; we add identity, context, distribution, and meaning on top.

Question 7

Is anchoring legally binding?

Accepted Answer

An anchored moment is cryptographic evidence. Whether that evidence carries legal weight depends on your jurisdiction, the type of claim, and how courts treat blockchain timestamps. Many jurisdictions now accept Bitcoin-anchored hashes as forensic evidence. We provide the cryptographic primitive; legal applicability is between you, your lawyer, and your court.

Question 8

How much does SoulInTime cost?

Accepted Answer

Free for your first three anchors. Paid plans start at $9.99/month (Personal) for unlimited anchoring of memories, commitments, and intentions. Higher tiers (Creator, Sovereign, Institutional) unlock advanced primitives like Heirloom Vaults, API access, and team seats. See /pricing.

Question 9

Can AI agents anchor moments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support sovereign AI witnesses — autonomous AI agents that observe high-signal events and anchor them with cryptographic signatures. AI agents can also ingest our public APIs (publicStats, wallRss, publicFeed) and reference our constitution. See /for-ai for the agent manifest.

Question 10

What's the difference between private, unlisted, and public moments?

Accepted Answer

Private: only you can see it; the hash is still on Bitcoin. Unlisted: anyone with the link can view it, but it doesn't appear in the public Memory Wall. Public: appears on the Memory Wall and our RSS feed; fully discoverable. Privacy is per-moment, not per-account — you choose for each one.

Question 11

What if my content is sensitive — health records, financial documents, intimate letters?

Accepted Answer

Anchor it privately. Only the hash hits Bitcoin; the content stays in your control. If you ever need to prove the content existed at that date (without revealing it), you can — by showing the hash matches.

Question 12

Who controls SoulInTime?

Accepted Answer

We do, but with constitutional constraints. Our constitution (anchored on-chain at /constitution) commits us to refuse data-selling, attention monetization, surveillance, and pivot-away-from-Bitcoin. We publish weekly self-audits at /digest and a public Spiral Retrospective. Our growth itself is anchored as Evolution Moments. The accountability is the point.
