How Do You Monitor Decay?

We measure fixity and checksums regularly.

What Are The Two Types Of Decay?

Format Obsolescence and Data Rot together fall under the umbrella of digital decay.

Memories die when photos turn brown, lines streak across videos, photos "corrupt", videos warp and CDs fail. This is data rot - digital data decays too. Save your photos and videos from corrupting rotting or corroding over time. World-class archiving methods preserve your story and protect your precious memories from data rot. Leave your descendants a treasure trove to cherish safe in climate-controlled vaults, cared for by a Digital Preservation Trust. Technology will be updated and audits performed to ensure your memories are safe.

The two locations of your two archive copies will be locked together with your genealogy records and library records in perpetuity on the blockchain. You will verify this personally with a “private key” and you are the only person that can ever alter this record. This means that in the future when someone looks for you and finds multitudes of data of people with the same name, they will be certain that it was you and the Video in the archives is yours.
