man blockmemento

which block do I get for a date?
the first block mined after your moment, in UTC. the preview shows it before you pay.
why not a very recent moment?
we wait for six confirmations, about an hour, so your block can never change.
can I pay in bitcoin?
yes, on-chain or over Lightning, through our own BTCPay Server. card works too.
can I get just the file?
yes. the vector PDF prints sharp at any size.
