Verify the timestamp attestations with the aid of remote block explorers.
$ java -jar target/OtsCli.jar verify examples/hello-world.txt.ots
Assuming target filename is 'examples/hello-world.txt'
Success! Bitcoin attests data existed as of Thu May 28 2015 17:41:18 GMT+0200 (CEST)Note: This verification using block explorers is convenient but not as secure as asking to a local node. To mitigate the risks, answer from block explorer is considered only if two different endpoint return the same result. Even by doing so this is not as secure as asking a local node.
Upgrade incomplete remote calendar timestamps to be independently verifiable. This command overwrite the file examples/incomplete.txt.ots if needed and make a backup of the old content at examples/incomplete.txt.ots.
$ java -jar target/OtsCli.jar upgrade examples/incomplete.txt.ots
Timestamp has been successfully upgraded!When a proof is completed with at least one bitcoin attestation, information regarding other paths are redundant. The oldest bitcoin attestation (the lower bitcoin block height) is the only relevant information, in this case we can shrink all the redundant informatio.
$ java -jar target/OtsCli.jar upgrade examples/merkle2.txt.ots
Timestamp has been successfully upgraded!
$ java -jar target/OtsCli.jar info examples/merkle2.txt.ots
# ... have a look at the double path
$ java -jar target/OtsCli.jar upgrade examples/merkle2.txt.ots
$ java -jar target/OtsCli.jar info examples/merkle2.txt.ots
# ... now the ots receipt contains only the relevant information
