The concern raised addresses the difficulty in archiving content from delvingbitcoin.org, highlighting a potential issue with the preservation of digital discussions on this platform.

The author contrasts this with the ease of archiving email lists, a process they are personally engaged in for lists like lightning-dev and bitcoin-dev. They point out that email archives offer stronger authentication methods, such as PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance), which bolster the credibility and authenticity of the archived content.

In comparison, the security measures provided by delvingbitcoin.org seem inadequate, with the reliance on timestamps being criticized as a weak form of security, although they are acknowledged as being better than having no security at all. The author suggests that there is no apparent way for delvingbitcoin.org to match the level of security and authentication that email list archives can provide.
