Files on IPFS

The viewer shows these states from display copies kept with this site (display copies, resized; the originals are on IPFS: the files below). The full-size files are on IPFS; the ones we pin are pinned at Pinata. Each file is stored on IPFS under its CID. The CID belongs to the file, not to any website, so other IPFS gateways can open it too. Three that served our files on 2026-10-17: gateway.pinata.cloud, ipfs.filebase.io, c-ipfs-gw.nmkr.io. Each file below is linked on all three, in the order to try them. Every line says what our own check found: we keep this file pinned: 5; our own copy, pinned by us and verified on upload: 1.
