For TLS 1.1 (and supposedly "TLS 1.2+" since https://github.com/tlsnotary/PageSigner/commit/4e12573 https://github.com/tlsnotary/PageSigner/commit/4e12573): https://tlsnotary.org/pagesigner https://tlsnotary.org/pagesigner
For TLS 1.3 there's also TLS-N from https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/578.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/578.pdf but it requires a cooperating server:
"TLS-N generates non-interactive proofs about the content of a TLS session that can be efficiently verified by third parties and blockchain based smart contracts. As such, TLS-N increases the accountability for content provided on the web and enables a practical and decentralized blockchain oracle for web content. TLS-N is compatible with TLS 1.3 and adds a minor overhead to a typical TLS session. When a proof is generated, parts of the TLS session (e.g., passwords, cookies) can be hidden for privacy reasons, while the remaining content can be verified."
- jmull 5y agoYou could bypass this kind of verification by routing your spam through Twitter. Send spam to twitter, scrape spam from Twitter for twitcoin.
- lawl 5y agoIf your plan is to scrape all of twitter, the question is if that matters among the years of existing spam. Probably not. If it does start to matter it should start becoming an issue for twitter too and they'd probably have to deal with it.
