+
+> **SilverCents**: Silver-backed cryptocurrency using the Basis protocol on the Ergo Platform
+
+## 🎯 What is This?
+
+A complete, production-quality demonstration of the **Basis protocol** applied to a real-world use case: silver-backed digital notes that can be issued, tracked, and redeemed for physical silver coins.
+
+The demo shows:
+- **Issuance**: A merchant (Alice) creates digital notes backed by physical silver
+- **Tracking**: Off-chain ledger maintains all debt relationships
+- **Verification**: Cryptographic signatures and on-chain commitments prove authenticity
+- **Redemption**: Notes exchanged for physical silver at merchant locations
+- **Risk Management**: Collateralization ratios prevent over-issuance

+```
+
+## 💡 Key Concepts
+
+### Debt Notes
+```
+Alice creates: "I owe Bob 1000 SilverCents"
+├─ Signed by Alice (Schnorr signature)
+├─ Stored in tracker's AVL+ tree
+├─ Backed by Alice's on-chain reserve
+└─ Redeemable for physical silver
+```
+
+### Collateralization
+```
+Reserve / Total Notes Issued = Ratio
+
+✓ 100%+ → Healthy (accept notes)
+⚠ 80-100% → Warning (be careful)
+✗ <80% → Risky (stop accepting)
+```
+
+### On-Chain Verification
+```
+Tracker publishes digest on-chain
+↓
+Ergo blockchain confirms state
+↓
+Light clients verify honesty
+↓
+Fallback if tracker goes offline
+```

+```
+Bob polls tracker → Fetches new notes → Verifies signatures
+                 → Accumulates amount → Tracks collateral
+                 → Stops if ratio < 100%
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Redemption (1 min)
+```
+Bob initiates → Tracker verifies → Records on-chain
+             → Reserve updated → Silver delivered
+             → Notes marked redeemed
+```
+
+## 🔐 Security Features
+
+### Cryptography
+- **Algorithm:** Schnorr signatures with secp256k1
+- **Message Format:** recipient_pubkey || amount || timestamp
+- **Verification:** All notes verified before acceptance
+- **Protection:** Prevents forgery and replay attacks
+
+### Collateralization
+- **Real-Time Monitoring:** Continuous ratio calculation
+- **Automatic Halt:** Stops when ratio drops below 100%
+- **Risk Management:** Prevents over-leverage
+- **Warning Alerts:** At 80% utilization
+
+### Trust & Verification
+- **Signature Verification:** Cryptographic proof of authenticity
+- **AVL+ Tree:** Efficient proof of all notes
+- **On-Chain Commitment:** Periodic state published to blockchain
+- **Fallback:** Last committed state valid if tracker fails
+
+## 📈 Real-World Use
+
+**SilverCents in Action:**
+
+1. **Merchant Setup** 
+   - Alice stocks vault with silver coins
+   - Creates on-chain reserve (cryptographic proof)
+   - Begins accepting customers
+
+2. **Customer Purchases**
+   - Bob buys items from Alice
+   - Alice issues digital notes instead of coins
+   - Notes backed by reserve, no counterparty risk
+
+3. **Note Circulation**
+   - Bob can spend notes with others
+   - Tracker maintains accurate records
+   - Collateral always verifiable on-chain
+
+4. **Redemption**
+   - Bob exchanges notes for physical silver
+   - Can happen anytime, anywhere
+   - Alice's reserve automatically updated
+
+5. **Network Effects**
+   - Other merchants join
+   - Multiple issuers competing
+   - Digital notes for physical assets

+
+## What is SilverCents?
+
+**SilverCents** is a practical implementation of the Basis protocol - an off-chain cash system backed by on-chain collateral.
+
+```
+Traditional Money Flow:
+  Alice → Silver Coins → Bob
+
+SilverCents Flow:
+  Alice → Digital Notes (Backed by Reserve) → Bob → Redeem for Silver
+```
+
+**Key Innovation:** Debt notes issued off-chain but backed by on-chain reserves. This enables:
+- Fast, free transactions (no blockchain fees)
+- Instant settlement between trust parties
+- On-chain redemption capability
+- Cryptographic verification
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### 1. The Merchant (Alice)
+- **Role:** Issues SilverCents notes to customers
+- **Reserve:** Holds physical silver in vault
+- **On-Chain:** Reserve NFT proves collateral backing
+- **Action:** Issues notes when customers make purchases
+
+### 2. The Customer (Bob)
+- **Role:** Receives and accumulates notes
+- **Trust:** Verifies Alice's reserve is sufficient
+- **Monitoring:** Tracks collateralization ratio
+- **Redemption:** Exchanges notes for physical silver
+
+### 3. The Tracker (Basis Server)
+- **Role:** Maintains ledger of all notes
+- **Storage:** AVL+ tree with all debt relationships
+- **Verification:** Ensures notes are signed correctly
+- **Commitment:** Periodically publishes state on-chain
+
+### 4. The Collateral (Ergo Blockchain)
+- **Proof:** Reserve UTXO proves Alice's backing
+- **Security:** Cryptographic verification
+- **Permanence:** Immutable transaction history
+- **Redemption:** Final settlement happens on-chain
+
+---
+
+## Demo Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Setup
+```
+✓ Create merchant account (Alice)
+✓ Create customer account (Bob)
+✓ Initialize reserve tracking
+✓ Set up demo databases
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Issuance
+```
+Alice's Actions:
+  ├─ Creates on-chain reserve (1M units of silver)
+  ├─ Issues notes to Bob every 30 seconds
+  ├─ Monitors collateralization ratio
+  ├─ Stops when ratio drops below 100%
+  └─ Each note: amount, timestamp, signature
+
+Tracker's Actions:
+  ├─ Stores each note in AVL+ tree
+  ├─ Verifies Alice's signature
+  ├─ Updates root digest
+  └─ Records in ledger
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Reception
+```
+Bob's Actions:
+  ├─ Polls tracker every 10 seconds
+  ├─ Fetches new notes addressed to him
+  ├─ Verifies signatures
+  ├─ Calculates collateralization
+  ├─ Accumulates notes
+  └─ Stops accepting if ratio < 100%
+
+Result:
+  Bob now holds digital notes worth X units
+  Backed by Alice's reserve of Y units
+  Collateralization = Y / X
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Redemption
+```
+Bob's Actions:
+  ├─ Presents accumulated notes
+  ├─ Verifies signatures are valid
+  ├─ Records redemption request
+
+Alice's Actions:
+  ├─ Verifies notes are legitimate
+  ├─ Records redemption on-chain
+  ├─ Reduces reserve balance
+  └─ Delivers physical silver coins
+
+Result:
+  Bob receives constitutional silver coins
+  Alice's reserve decreases
+  Notes removed from circulation
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### Debt Notes
+```
+Format: (issuer, recipient, amount, timestamp, signature)
+
+Example:
+  Issuer:    Alice (02a1b2c3...)
+  Recipient: Bob (02d4e5f6...)
+  Amount:    1,000 units
+  Time:      1703001234
+  Sig:       02abc...def (65 bytes)
+
+Meaning: "Alice owes Bob 1,000 units of value"
+```
+
+### Collateralization Ratio
+```
+Ratio = Reserve / Total Notes Issued
+
+Example:
+  Alice's Reserve:     1,000,000 units
+  Bob's Accumulated:   500,000 units
+  Collateralization:   200% (healthy)
+
+  If Alice issues too much:
+  Reserve:            1,000,000 units
+  Bob's Accumulated: 1,500,000 units
+  Collateralization:   67% (risky!) → Stop accepting
+```
+
+### Cryptographic Verification
+```
+Alice Creates Note:
+  1. Message = Bob's pubkey || amount || timestamp
+  2. Signs with her private key
+  3. Creates 65-byte Schnorr signature
+  4. Sends to tracker
+
+Bob Receives Note:
+  1. Gets note from tracker
+  2. Verifies signature using Alice's public key
+  3. Confirms it was created by Alice (not forged)
+  4. Accepts the note
+```
+
+### On-Chain Commitment
+```
+Every hour (configurable):
+  ├─ Tracker computes AVL+ tree root
+  ├─ Root = Hash of all notes and amounts
+  ├─ Publishes root to Ergo blockchain
+  ├─ Stored in R5 register of reserve UTXO
+  └─ Light clients can verify tracker honesty
+
+If tracker disappears:
+  └─ Last on-chain commitment remains valid
+  └─ Notes can be redeemed using on-chain proof
+```

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: "Cannot connect to Basis server"
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check if server is running
+curl http://localhost:3048/status
+
+# Start server if needed
+cd basis-tracker
+cargo run -p basis_server
+```
+
+### Problem: "Collateralization drops too fast"
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Adjust note amounts in script
+AMOUNT_MIN=50      # Smaller notes
+AMOUNT_MAX=200
+./silvercents_issuer.sh
+```
+
+### Problem: "No notes received"
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check Alice issued notes
+cat /tmp/silvercents_demo/logs/alice_ledger.csv
+
+# Check Bob's polling
+tail -f /tmp/silvercents_demo/logs/bob_receiver.log
+
+# Verify tracker has notes
+curl http://localhost:3048/notes/issuer/[alice_pubkey] | jq
+```
+
+### Problem: "Redemption failed"
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Verify notes exist
+cat /tmp/silvercents_demo/logs/bob_notes.csv
+
+# Check Alice's reserve status
+curl http://localhost:3048/reserve/status/[alice_pubkey]
+
+# Ensure timestamps are valid (older than 1 week for real blockchain)

+
+## 💰 The SilverCents Protocol
+
+### What is SilverCents?
+- **On-chain tokens** on Ergo Platform using Basis protocol
+- **Exchangeable 1:1** with constitutional silver dimes and quarters
+- **Merchant-issued** digital notes backed by physical silver
+- **Instantly redeemable** at merchant locations
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+**Debt Note:**
+```
+Alice issues to Bob: "I owe you 1000 SilverCents"
+- Signed by Alice (cryptographic proof)
+- Stored in tracker's AVL+ tree
+- Backed by Alice's on-chain reserve
+- Redeemable for physical silver
+```
+
+**Collateralization:**
+```
+Ratio = Reserve / Total Notes Issued
+
+Example:
+  Alice's Reserve: 1,000,000 units
+  Bob's Notes:       500,000 units
+  Collateralization:     200% ✓ Healthy
+
+If Alice issues too much:
+  Collateralization: 75% ✗ Too much risk
+  Bob stops accepting notes
+```
+
+**Redemption:**
+```
+Bob presents notes to Alice
+↓
+Alice verifies via tracker
+↓
+Recorded on-chain
+↓
+Bob receives physical silver coins
+```

+# SilverCents Demo - Basis Protocol on Ergo
+
+## Overview
+
+SilverCents are on-chain tokens on the Ergo Platform using the Basis protocol, exchangeable one-for-one with constitutional silver dimes and quarters. This demo shows a complete workflow of:
+
+1. **Issuance**: A silver merchant (Alice) issues silver-backed notes to customers (Bob)
+2. **Redemption**: Customers redeem notes for physical silver coins at the merchant's location

+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### 1. Reserve (On-Chain)
+- Issued by Alice (merchant), locked on the Ergo blockchain
+- Holds collateral (ERG, silver tokenized, etc.)
+- Prevents over-issuance of notes
+- Redeemable for physical silver via reserve contracts
+
+### 2. Debt Notes (Off-Chain)
+- Created by Alice to Bob with her signature
+- Represent right to redeem for silver
+- Tracked by the Basis server (tracker)
+- Can be redeemed on-chain to settle the debt
+
+### 3. Tracker
+- Maintains AVL+ tree of all notes
+- Publishes periodic commitments on-chain
+- Enables light clients to verify notes
+- Protects against censorship via on-chain fallback
+
+## Demo Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Setup
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Start the Basis server
+cd basis-tracker
+cargo run -p basis_server
+
+# Terminal 2: Start the Ergo scanner
+# (if using real blockchain integration)
+cargo run -p basis_store -- --scan-mode
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Initialize Accounts
+```bash
+# Create accounts for Alice (merchant) and Bob (customer)
+./demo/silvercents_setup.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Issue Notes
+```bash
+# Alice creates a reserve (on-chain collateral)
+# Alice issues debt notes to Bob (off-chain)
+./demo/silvercents_issuer.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Receive Notes
+```bash
+# Bob monitors for new notes
+# Bob tracks his accumulated debt
+./demo/silvercents_receiver.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Redeem Notes
+```bash
+# Bob redeems notes for physical silver
+./demo/silvercents_redeem.sh
+```
+
+## Running the Complete Demo
+
+### Quick Start (All-in-One)
+```bash
+./demo/silvercents_complete_demo.sh
+```
+
+### Step-by-Step Manual Demo
+
+**Terminal 1 - Setup and prepare:**
+```bash
+cd demo
+./silvercents_setup.sh
+```
+
+**Terminal 2 - Alice (Merchant) - Issuance:**
+```bash
+cd demo
+./silvercents_issuer.sh
+```
+
+**Terminal 3 - Bob (Customer) - Receiving:**
+```bash
+cd demo
+./silvercents_receiver.sh
+```
+
+**Terminal 4 - Bob (Customer) - Redemption:**
+```bash
+# When ready to redeem
+cd demo
+./silvercents_redeem.sh
+```
+
+## Demo Configuration
+
+### Alice (Merchant)
+- **Role**: Issues SilverCents notes
+- **Reserve**: 1,000,000 units
+- **Issue Interval**: 30 seconds
+- **Note Amount**: 100-1,000 units per note
+- **Collateral**: Physical silver stored at business location
+
+### Bob (Customer)
+- **Role**: Receives and redeems notes
+- **Poll Interval**: 10 seconds
+- **Min Collateralization**: 100% (1.0)
+- **Redemption Frequency**: Upon request
+- **Preferred Location**: Alice's business for in-person redemption
+
+## Monitoring & Verification
+
+### Check Note Status
+```bash
+# Check all notes for Alice (issuer)
+curl http://localhost:3048/notes/issuer/[alice_pubkey]
+
+# Check Bob's total notes
+curl http://localhost:3048/notes/recipient/[bob_pubkey]
+```
+
+### Monitor Collateralization
+```bash
+# Get reserve status for Alice
+curl http://localhost:3048/reserve/status/[alice_pubkey]
+
+# Calculate collateralization ratio
+collateralization = reserve_balance / total_notes_issued
+```
+
+### On-Chain Verification
+```bash
+# Check reserve on Ergo blockchain
+curl http://localhost:9053/blockchain/boxes/[reserve_box_id]
+
+# Verify tracker commitment
+curl http://localhost:9053/blockchain/boxes/[tracker_box_id]
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### 1. Signature Verification
+- All notes signed by Alice using secp256k1
+- Bob verifies signature before accepting notes
+- Prevents note forgery and issuer repudiation
+
+### 2. Collateralization
+- Reserve balance must exceed total issued notes
+- Automatic halt when ratio drops below 100%
+- Periodic on-chain verification
+
+### 3. Redemption Protection
+- One-week timelock after note creation
+- Prevents immediate reversal after issuance
+- Allows for dispute resolution period
+
+### 4. Tracker Accountability
+- Periodic on-chain commitments
+- AVL+ tree root hash published on-chain
+- Light clients can verify tracker honesty
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Notes Not Appearing
+1. Check Basis server is running: `curl http://localhost:3048/status`
+2. Verify note signatures: `openssl dgst -sha256 -verify pubkey.pem -signature sig.bin msg.bin`
+3. Check tracker state: Look at recent events in server logs
+
+### Redemption Failing
+1. Verify reserve has sufficient balance
+2. Check note timestamp meets one-week requirement
+3. Ensure reserve box exists on-chain
+
+### Collateralization Drop
+1. Monitor Alice's reserve balance
+2. Alert when ratio drops below 100%
+3. Stop accepting new notes to prevent over-leverage
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Multi-Issuer Support
+```bash
+# Create multiple issuers with different reserves
+./demo/silvercents_setup.sh --issuers alice,merchant2,merchant3
+```
+
+### Stress Testing
+```bash
+# Issue notes rapidly to test tracker capacity
+./demo/silvercents_stress_test.sh --duration 5m --rate 100/s
+```
+
+### Historical Analysis
+```bash
+# Export and analyze all transactions
+./demo/silvercents_export.sh > silvercents_ledger.csv
+```
+
+## Real-World Deployment
+
+For production deployment of SilverCents:
+
+1. **Physical Verification**: Actual silver coins stored in secure vault
+2. **Regulatory Compliance**: State and federal money transmitter licenses
+3. **Audit Trail**: Complete on-chain and off-chain audit logs
+4. **Insurance**: Coverage for stored silver reserves
+5. **Multi-Signature**: Require multiple merchant authorizations
+6. **Geographic Distribution**: Multiple redemption locations

+## Cryptography
+
+### Secp256k1 Keys
+
+All participants use secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography (Bitcoin standard):
+
+**Private Key:** 32 bytes
+```
+Format: 32-byte secret scalar
+Example: a1b2c3d4...
+```
+
+**Public Key:** 33 bytes (compressed)
+```
+Format: 02/03 prefix + x-coordinate (256-bit)
+Example: 02a1b2c3d4e5f6...
+Length: 66 hex characters
+```
+
+### Signature Scheme
+
+SilverCents uses Schnorr signatures with the following properties:
+
+**Signature:** 65 bytes
+```
+Structure:
+  - Commitment point a: 33 bytes
+  - Response scalar z:  32 bytes
+
+Format: 130 hex characters
+Example: 02abc...def1234...789
+```
+
+**Signing Process:**
+
+1. **Message Construction:**
+   ```
+   message = recipient_pubkey || amount_be_bytes || timestamp_be_bytes
+   ```
+
+2. **Signature Creation (Schnorr):**
+   ```
+   k = random_scalar()
+   a = g^k (commitment point)
+   e = H(a || message || issuer_pubkey) (challenge)
+   z = k + e*s (mod n) (response)
+   signature = a || z (65 bytes)
+   ```
+
+3. **Verification:**
+   ```
+   e = H(a || message || issuer_pubkey)
+   Verify: g^z = a * x^e (where x is issuer's public key)
+   ```
+
+## Data Model
+
+### Debt Note
+
+Each note represents a debt from issuer (Alice) to recipient (Bob).
+
+```rust
+pub struct Note {
+    pub issuer_pubkey: [u8; 33],        // Alice's public key
+    pub recipient_pubkey: [u8; 33],     // Bob's public key
+    pub amount: u64,                    // Total debt amount
+    pub timestamp: u64,                 // Latest payment time
+    pub signature: [u8; 65],            // Alice's Schnorr signature
+}
+```
+
+**Storage Key:** `H(issuer_pubkey || recipient_pubkey)`
+
+**Invariants:**
+- One note per (issuer, recipient) pair
+- Timestamp always increases (newer updates only)
+- Amount is cumulative (total debt, not delta)
+- Signature must verify against issuer's public key
+
+### Reserve
+
+The on-chain collateral backing notes.
+
+```rust
+pub struct Reserve {
+    pub owner: [u8; 33],                // Alice's public key
+    pub nft_id: String,                 // Tracker NFT ID
+    pub balance: u64,                   // Available collateral
+    pub collateral_ratio: f64,          // balance / total_notes_issued
+}
+```
+
+**On-Chain Representation:**
+- UTXO box containing collateral value
+- R4 register: Tracker public key
+- R5 register: AVL+ tree root digest
+- Redeemable by presenting valid note with timestamp proof
+
+### AVL+ Tree
+
+The tracker maintains an AVL+ tree of all notes for efficient commitment.
+
+```
+Tree Structure:
+├─ Key: H(issuer || recipient)
+├─ Value: (amount, timestamp)
+└─ Root: Digest published on-chain in R5
+
+Properties:
+  • Balanced (AVL properties)
+  • Self-certifying (root digest authenticates entire tree)
+  • Efficient proofs (O(log n))
+  • Persistent (all historical versions)
+```
+
+## Protocol Flows
+
+### 1. Note Issuance
+
+**Participants:** Alice (issuer), Tracker (server), Bob (recipient)
+
+```
+Alice              Tracker              Bob

+  │                │                   │
+  └────────────────┴───────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Alice creates a note with:
+   - Recipient: Bob's public key
+   - Amount: Number of units
+   - Timestamp: Current time
+   - Signature: Created over message
+
+2. Tracker verifies:
+   - Issuer's signature is valid
+   - Timestamp is newer than previous note
+   - Amount is within reserve limits
+
+3. Tracker updates:
+   - AVL+ tree with new/updated note
+   - Root digest
+   - Available reserve balance
+
+4. Bob queries tracker:
+   - Fetches notes addressed to him
+   - Verifies issuer's signature
+   - Checks collateralization
+
+### 2. Collateralization Monitoring
+
+**Calculation:**
+```
+collateralization_ratio = reserve_balance / total_notes_issued
+
+Target: ≥ 1.0 (100%)
+Warning: 0.8 - 1.0 (80-100%)
+Critical: < 0.8 (< 80%)
+```
+
+**Bob's Policy:**
+- Accept notes while ratio ≥ 100%
+- Stop accepting if ratio < 100%
+- Use to decide when to redeem
+
+**Alice's Policy:**
+- Prevent issuance if ratio would drop below 100%
+- Automatically halt to prevent over-leverage
+
+### 3. Note Redemption
+
+**Participants:** Bob, Tracker, Alice, Ergo blockchain
+
+```

+      (collect physical silver)
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Bob submits redemption request:
+   - Issuer (Alice)
+   - Amount to redeem
+   - Note timestamp proof
+
+2. Tracker verifies:
+   - Bob's note exists
+   - Timestamp meets one-week requirement
+   - Amount doesn't exceed available note
+
+3. Tracker publishes redemption:
+   - Creates on-chain proof
+   - Reduces reserve
+
+4. Alice delivers:
+   - Physical silver coins at shop
+   - Confirmed via receipt/signature

+## API Endpoints
+
+### Note Creation
+
+```bash
+POST /notes
+Content-Type: application/json

+  "amount": 1000,
+  "timestamp": 1703001234,
+  "collateralization": 1.05
+}
+```
+
+### Query Notes
+
+```bash
+# Notes by issuer
+GET /notes/issuer/:pubkey
+
+# Notes by recipient
+GET /notes/recipient/:pubkey
+
+Response: 200 OK
+{
+  "data": [
+    {

+      "timestamp": 1703001234,
+      "signature": "02abc...z789"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Reserve Status
+
+```bash
+GET /reserve/status/:issuer_pubkey
+
+Response: 200 OK
+{
+  "issuer": "02a1b2c3...",
+  "total_notes": 5000,
+  "reserve_balance": 1000000,
+  "collateralization": 200.0,
+  "status": "HEALTHY"
+}
+```
+
+### Redemption
+
+```bash
+POST /redeem
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "issuer_pubkey": "02a1b2c3...",
+  "recipient_pubkey": "02d4e5f6...",
+  "amount": 1000,
+  "timestamp": 1703001234
+}
+
+Response: 200 OK
+{
+  "redemption_id": "...",
+  "status": "PROCESSING",
+  "on_chain_proof": "..."
+}
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### 1. Signature Verification
+
+**Threat:** Note forgery
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Each note signed by issuer
+- Signature verified before acceptance
+- Schnorr signature prevents signature reuse
+- Message includes amount and timestamp
+
+### 2. Collateralization
+
+**Threat:** Over-issuance of unsupported notes
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- On-chain reserve proves backing
+- Ratio monitoring prevents over-leverage
+- Automatic halt at 100% collateralization
+- Bob stops accepting when ratio drops
+
+### 3. Tracker Honesty
+
+**Threat:** Tracker removes notes (censorship)
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Periodic on-chain commitments
+- AVL+ tree root in R5 register
+- Light clients can verify honesty
+- Fallback to on-chain state if tracker goes offline
+
+### 4. Timestamp Ordering
+
+**Threat:** Replay or timestamp manipulation
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Timestamps always increase
+- One-week lock after issuance
+- Prevents immediate reversal
+- Allows dispute resolution period
+

+# Reset database
+rm -rf ~/.basis/db
+```
+
+### Notes Not Appearing
+
+```bash
+# Check tracker is running
+curl http://localhost:3048/status
+
+# Verify note format
+jq . /tmp/silvercents_demo/logs/alice_ledger.csv
+
+# Check tracker logs
+grep -i "note" ~/.basis/tracker.log
+```
+
+### Redemption Failing
+
+```bash
+# Verify reserve exists
+curl http://localhost:3048/reserve/status/[issuer_pubkey]
+
+# Check note timestamp
+jq '.data[] | select(.recipient=="[bob_pubkey]")' [notes_file]
+
+# Verify on-chain
+curl http://localhost:9053/blockchain/box/[box_id]
+```
