The SPIKES protocol is a method used in clinical medicine to break bad news to patients and families. As receiving emotionally distressing information can cause distress and anxiety, clinicians need t
1. Compute SHA-256 of OTSCanonicalRecord value → must equal OTSHash 2. Open OTSProofURL → extract Bitcoin block number → must equal OTSBitcoinBlock 3. GET OTSBitcoinBlockVerifyURL → returns the Bitcoin block hash at height OTSBitcoinBlock; GET https://blockstream.info/api/block/{that hash} → its timestamp must match OTSTimestamp 4. Read CopyrightID inside OTSCanonicalRecord → must equal the CopyrightID above 5. GET OTSVerificationAPI → pre-computed 6-check result from server 6. If all match: this entity was registered on CopyrightChains at OTSTimestamp, independently verifiable on Bitcoin
Dual-chain trust anchor. Chain 1 (CopyrightChains): CopyrightID 0x215a94219c9240c06cff590b47cb72b339f05ee1438f5af3d48d4509fff2b78b. Chain 2 (Bitcoin): anchored in block 953687 (2026-06-14T20:19:15Z). Bridge: the canonical record inside this Bitcoin proof contains the same CopyrightID.
