Verified accounts

First-party proof: each handle below was confirmed by the platform itself (OAuth, a signed post, or domain control), so it cannot be a name the owner just typed.

Claimed accounts

Self-asserted, not verified. Peter J. Mello listed these links, but RealHandles has not confirmed they belong to this person. Treat them as unverified and do not weigh them like the verified accounts above.

Know Peter J. Mello?

Sign a statement that they are who they say. It appears on this page only if they accept it, and it adds nothing to the trust score.

Vouch for @rscholar

Verify independently

Do not take our word for it. This runs the signature check in your own browser against the public key in the manifest. It would still pass if RealHandles were offline.

One key, the whole way. The same key has held @rscholar across 8 published versions, since October 9, 2026. Anchored in Bitcoin block 970582, so that date cannot have been backdated by anyone, including us.
Raw signed fileOpen full verifier

The full signed history is at realhandles-chain.json, and the Bitcoin timestamp proof can be checked with any OpenTimestamps tool. Verify either without trusting us.
