A colophon for the curious.

Proof of Birthday is revision 3 of LTC Media’s independent 84-page Litecoin special, accepted by the Satnam Satoshi founder on October 4, 2026. It retains contributor recognition, a dated merged-mining directory, a book spotlight, proposed integrations and the community story. Earlier source records and PDFs are preserved in Git and the private release backup; public reading links open this reviewed edition.

Original conceptual illustrations were generated for this project. They are not photographs of named people, events, hardware deployments or verified network topology. The page diagrams are editorial explanations; where a number appears, its date, scope or fictional status belongs with it. Typographic book cards are not reproductions of the publishers’ covers.

The web reader and print PDF share their page compositions, sources and reading order. Phones receive a responsive text layout. AI Satoshi Ma prepared the editorial and design work. Founder acceptance is editorial review, not independent verification of every cited claim or measurement. The research cutoff remains October 4; source conflicts remain labeled. The planned October 15 cover date does not claim future reporting, schedule an inscription or imply endorsement from the Litecoin Foundation, Charlie Lee, contributors or financial institutions.
