## Verification Instructions

To fully verify this document, you will perform two separate checks: one for the timestamp and one for the digital signature.

### Part 1: Verifying the Timestamps

This proves the document existed at or before the time recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain.

1.  **Go to the Website**: Navigate to the official OpenTimestamps page: https://opentimestamps.org/
    
2.  **Verify Proof**: Drag and drop the timestamp proof file (`antifragile_child_modern_edition.pdf.ots`) onto the main "STAMP & VERIFY" area.
    
3.  **Follow Prompts**: The website will then guide you to select the original document (`antifragile_child_modern_edition.pdf`) to complete the verification and display the result.

Repeat with (`antifragile_child_complete_edition.pdf.ots`) and (`antifragile_child_complete_edition.pdf`).

### Part 2: Verifying the Author

This proves the document was signed by the author and has not been altered since.

1.  **Gather Files**: You will need `antifragile_child_modern_edition.pdf` and `antifragile_child_modern_edition.pdf.sig`. The author's public GPG key can be downloaded from their official website: https://abstractwarlock.com/AbstractWarlock_0x49E72E7F_public.asc
    
2.  **Use a GPG Tool**: Using any standard GPG software (like Gpg4win for Windows or GPG Suite for Mac), import the author's public key that you just downloaded.
    
3.  **Verify Signature**: Use the "Verify" function in your GPG software, selecting the `antifragile_child_modern_edition.pdf.sig` file. The software will automatically check it against the `antifragile_child_modern_edition.pdf` file in the same folder.
    
4.  **Review the Result**: The software will confirm if the signature is "good," meaning it was created by the holder of the private key and the document is authentic.

Repeat with (`antifragile_child_complete_edition.pdf.sig`) and (`antifragile_child_complete_edition.pdf`).
