Set up my first instance of strfry. But I'm a bit confused about plugins. The way plugins.md talks about "event-sifter plugins" sounds a bit as if there are are plugins *other than* event-sifter plugins. Is that so? Or are *all* strfry plugins event-sifter plugins, i.e. that's the only type of plugin there is?

Another script is now up on the Inkan website. This one lets users check a given Ethereum block directly to see which Inkan declarations were actually recorded there, rather than just taking the client’s word for it. The output also includes transaction hashes and other on-chain details for anyone who wants to cross-check further in a block explorer. It’s again in the spirit of making Inkan easier to audit. You can again download it under Settings >> Inkan Management Utility.

I’ve added a Python script to the Inkan website that parses the signed Ethereum transactions produced by the Inkan Management Utility. The script should be useful for anyone who wants to independently inspect / audit what these transactions encode. You can download it under Settings >> Inkan Management Utility.

I changed the event kind used by Inkan to disseminate Bitcoin timestamps from 1045 to 31045. These should be addressable events. I posted updated screenshots that reflect the change.

Inkan enables you to revoke and replace key pairs when your private key has been lost or stolen. You can also perform periodic key rotations preemptively. You can do all this in a decentralized manner. That way Inkan gives you a permanent online identity that only you control, and that you can be confident you can keep over the long-term. For example 50 years. Inkan is open for testing and comment. Let me know if you'd like to try it out.
