🔍 FAQ

“How long does bulk protection take?”

Approximately 1-3 seconds per file. 1,000 files typically take 30-60 minutes total.

“What if some files fail to protect?”

The tool logs all failures with reasons. Most can be retried after fixing the issue (file size, format, etc.).

“Does this use my API limits?”

Yes. Free tier includes 1,000 protections/month. Paid tiers available for larger collections.

“Can I protect the same content multiple times?”

The tool automatically detects and skips already-protected content unless you force re-protection.

“What file formats are supported?”

Text (.txt), Markdown (.md), Word (.docx), PDF (.pdf), HTML (.html), RTF (.rtf), and various export formats.

“What if I have huge files (>10MB)?”

Split large files into chapters or sections, or use the web upload tool for individual large works.

“Does this work offline?”

No, protection requires internet connection to write to the blockchain. However, the tool can queue protections for when you’re back online.

💡 Pro Tips

Before You Start

  • Organize files into logical directories first
  • Run dry-run to see what will be protected
  • Check file sizes - split anything over 10MB
  • Have good internet - uploads can be bandwidth intensive

During Protection

  • Don’t interrupt the process once started
  • Monitor progress for any error patterns
  • Keep computer awake to prevent sleep during long runs

After Protection

  • Save verification links somewhere safe
  • Test a few verification URLs to confirm they work
  • Share links when you need to prove ownership
  • Keep the results JSON as a backup record
