Thank you all for your detailed answers. I might resume it to two possibilities to accomplish the task: - Post a digest to a site where you cannot withdraw it ever and where it can be retrieved by everybody. This could be a Github issue, on Reddit or Twitter or maybe even on the GnuPG mailing list. The disadvantage is that you are dependent on the provider of the site to continue the service and that your information can be found there. This could most notably become a problem because the post is, in the end, an abuse of the forum. - Let one or more people sign your document and provide the signatures yourself. The weak point is how to find these people and to make them do what you want. The service <http://www.itconsult.co.uk/stamper.htm> makes signatures in a format that is no longer supported. Maybe a combination of both methods is a good way to handle the disadvantages.
