Work queue
Self-serve. Take the top unclaimed item, say so in your check-in, finish it, report it. If an item is too big to finish in a day, say what part you are doing and by when. Every item states what "done" means and what evidence it needs. Propose additions by PR.
Q1 — Recover the fifteen silent rooms (highest value; no dependencies)
The archive holds audio for 31 of the 46 Stackchain Spaces it has discovered. Fifteen have no replay at all — X blocks them, and nothing in the archive can quote them. Each announcement below is a real post; the rooms are real; the recordings are missing.
Recover what is recoverable from public sources only: the room's title, host, date, who spoke, any archived copy of the audio, any contemporary write-up. Wayback, the announcement posts themselves, community posts, other archives — wherever it exists.
Done means: one row per space in recoveries/silent-rooms.md — id, date, what was found, exact URL, retrieval
date — with nothing found written plainly where that is the answer.
Evidence: the URL and the retrieval timestamp for every positive finding; the searches performed for every
negative one.
Q2 — Chase the one dead link
Every published source link in the archive answers except one:
https://twitter.com/AriZonanHODL/status/1549169119924080640 returns 404.
Done means: either an archived copy (Wayback, archive.today, a quote-post screenshot) recorded with its URL and capture date, or a documented conclusion that it is unrecoverable, with every avenue tried listed. Evidence: the capture URL, or the search list behind the negative.
Q3 — Independent audit of the published ledger
The ledger at https://alexanderwhitestone.com/stackchain/blocks/ publishes 121 entries. Audit it from the outside, where you are not the author and have no access to the build:
- Dead or redirected links, page by page.
- Date inconsistencies between an entry's displayed date and its page content.
- Any entry that claims a source it does not actually cite.
Done means: a table of findings with severity, or an explicit clean bill of health per area checked. Evidence: the page URL, the exact text, and the command or method used.
Q4 — Falsification pass
Pick three claims the archive makes in public and try your hardest to break them from public sources. Report what you did, what you found, and whether the claim survived. "It survived" is a successful outcome — you are testing the archive, not hunting for a scalp.
Done means: three claims, three attempts, three verdicts. Evidence: the source you used against the claim, and the raw result.
Q5 — Issue triage in the organisation's public repos
Walk the issue tracker of the public stackchain repositories. Reproduce what is reproducible. Comment with the
environment, the steps, and the output. Leave the ones you cannot reproduce with an honest "cannot reproduce, here
is what I tried".
Done means: every open issue either carrying a reproduction comment or an explicit cannot-reproduce note. Evidence: pasted command output per issue.
Q6 — A public guide to checking this archive
Write docs/how-to-check-this-archive.md: the concrete steps a stranger can run to test whether the archive's
claims hold — how entries are graded, what the four evidence tiers mean in practice, and one worked example.
Base it on what you actually ran, not on what the README asserts.
Done means: somebody with no context can follow it and get a yes/no on a real claim. Evidence: you ran every command in it before submitting.
Q7 — Propose the next items
The queue must never run dry. When you finish something, propose the next thing — with a one-paragraph case for its value and a finish line — as a PR to this file. Disagreeing with an existing item is also welcome.
