Keeping a personal torwatch link log
Memory is unreliable for 56-character strings. A log is not.
One line per address
Record the full onion address, the date you first saw it, the source and whether you verified it.
Mark retirements
When a Tor Watch link stops working, keep the line and add a retired date rather than deleting it.
Store it offline
Keep the log in an encrypted file or offline notebook, not in a chat app where messages can be edited by others.
Use it every time
Before opening any torwatch link, search your log for it. A near match that is not an exact match is a warning.
