Is there a good summary somewhere of the chain of assertion that gives Q-followers a reason to believe that whomever it is that says they're Q now, is the same

Is there a good summary somewhere of the chain of assertion that gives Q-followers a reason to believe that whomever it is that says they're Q now, is the same person/group that said they were Q a year or more ago?

I've looked into Q a fair bit and tried to tease out what's correct and incorrect, because it's actually quite fascinating. Of course I remain highly skeptical that what Q is talking about will happen, but here's what I've put together. Q validates their posts with what's called a trip code. Urban Dictionary actually explains it pretty well: "A trip code is a code used in anonymous threads like 4chan to determine whether or not the anonymous poster is authentic or not. It assigns a code to the end of your name. When you add the pound (#) symbol to the end of your name followed by a word, like a password that only you know, it scrambles the word into a code. That way it's undetectable and can be used over and over again." [1] As long as you keep your password secret, trip codes are quite reliable. Now, Q has apparently changed tripcodes over time. A good resource for looking at Q posts is qmap.pub. I just did some searching to find out how Q does these changes. https://qmap.pub/read/1311 https://qmap.pub/read/1311 https://qmap.pub/read/1312 https://qmap.pub/read/1312 This is just one example, but the poster claiming to be Q (1) says a change is coming and (2) announces the change. It's clearly imperfect, but the old trip code isn't used again. I would have to look at all other trip code changes to be certain. However, there's no reason to automatically assume other trip code changes would be different than this. Here's a big weakness: Q didn't use trip codes at first. Ultimately, you have to believe that the Q today is the same as the one from 2017. However, the chain of trip codes does demonstrate at least some continuity for the last two years or so.

  Trip idea can be broken in a few days with a proper GPU. The original q-anon trip was cracked within a month. It’s a giant larp
