- pmarreck 5y agoisn't the URL what's embedded in the QR code, though?
- kuboris 5y agoCopy paste from the website: On HackerNews someone gave a plausible explanation for the timestamps: They are regenerated when you download the PDF with the result. This explains the inconsistencies in the timestamps – but not in the confirmation codes – because they remain the same. And the inconsistencies also exists in them. The confirmation codes are ascending, so the result from the 16th should have a lower number than the one from 22nd. However, it is the other way around.
