I believe the "standard" method for this is to make a text file of your prediction + timestamps + whatever else, generate a hash (or hashes, I suppose), and publish them -- but this obviously requires you to keep the original text file around and safe until you want to reveal it.
I don't think there's any way of sealing a file such that it can only be opened at some future time (but cryptography always surprises me.)
- ptspts 6y agoSealing the prediction it is not requirement. All predictions are public as soon as they are published. It is a requirement though that a predictor shouldn't be able to publish contradicting predictions without easily being caught.
- zimpenfish 6y agoAh, I see, I misunderstood! I guess a blockchain kind of thing is what you need then if the text is public? There was an immutable database on here the other week - https://immudb.io https://immudb.io - which might have some ideas.
