Citing Your Sources Guide

While best effort is made to find the most credible information sources in each case, given the lack of coverage in many cases, there is considerably greater flexibility in terms of sources which are supported. Many of the incidents can presently only be found in comments, social media posts, and various third party websites.

The minimum requirement for a case to be included is 2 separate sources, though this could be a post and a follow up comment.

Format for Sources

Sources are presently placed listed in the following simple format:

Link Title (Access Date)

Here are some examples:

• Example Website Title (Feb 3, 2023)
• Nevis - Wikipedia (Jan 30, 2023)
• Bruce Wagner On Use of MyBitcoin - BitcoinTalk (Jan 30, 2023)
• MyBitcoin Incident Report - August 5th 2011 (Jan 31, 2023)
