It's a hard-to-break digital string that commits proof that the person knows something in a file encoded by that string. When the known file becomes public, the fact that the file connects to the string in a one-way hash algorithm proves that the file was known at the time it was said.
To date, nobody has produced a file that hashes to that string. Maybe we need to take our Bitcoin miners offline and get them reverse-searching some of these public precommitments instead.
"I know something now, and anyone will be able to prove that I knew it at this time as soon as someone else reveals the same thing I know. That means that when it is revealed it will be provable not to be recently faked."
(Smiling) It's not that I know, it's that a person who makes the statement in the OP is making a statement of knowledge equivalent to what I put in quotes, and is stating that he knows something now and can prove it later. If what he knows becomes public, researchers can prove mathematically he already knew it.
I don't believe the Tweet from the NSA is real. If you can find an archive link of it, then by all means keep this posted. But if not, I'd remove it. We don't need fake news here.
If I remember correctly, it’s not alefantis posing it’s a popular drag queen who visited ping pong but I can’t remember the name. I think the drag queen posted in on their own personal Instagram and then alenfantis commented on it something sexual. I don’t have a link it’s just in my memory but I’m sure someone else here knows the straight facts.
I am in shock the NSA tweeted that but I believe Bqnita
That's great that you have an archived link. Post it, please. I've seen this supposed tweet before, of course, but never the actual URL to the archived link, to prove its authenticity.
Unverified tweet. Please post source or archive.
To who?
Post it here, in your post.
Wow, NSA/css tweeted this at NSA.gov!
Who is the thing posing?
James Alefantis, the "guy" that runs Comet Pizza & Ping Pong, the pizza joint at the center of Pizzagate.
Not JA. The picture was connected to JA's instagram account.
Thx for the correction
Wait was this a real post? Or did someone fake this?
Also what is precommittment

So post the archived link please. This is new info for me.
If you have the link post it.

Thank you for the clarification. I assumed the photo was part of the tweet....and now I know it isn't :)

99.9% chance this is fake
