Collect the edition. Keep the reading open.

Our proposed first step is an immutable edition package: final PDF, artwork credits, source record, revision identifier and file hashes. Readers should keep free access to the website and downloadable magazine whether or not any collectible is later created.

An inscription can carry content in a transaction; a smaller record could instead carry a hash and a content address for an externally preserved edition. Those are different promises. A hash can identify the expected bytes, but does not store the complete magazine or guarantee that a remote copy remains available. IPFS content still needs maintained copies or pins.

For this Litecoin anniversary, we propose evaluating a Litecoin inscription of a compact provenance record before considering recurring editions. The ord-litecoin project calls its software experimental. Chain choice, content rights, metadata, storage, fee limit and a separate owner-controlled wallet would require explicit review and approval. No inscription, NFT, token, collectible rights or financial return is offered here. Corrections would create a new revision, leaving the earlier record discoverable.
