What a drop notebook is allowed to remember

A notebook can explain how a file arrived without pretending to be a broker’s blotter.

A useful drop notebook has four fields that matter: listed title, cover names, window start, and a later tick when the file exists locally. Optional fifth field: a payment-note label such as “Binance-compatible transfer mentioned by collector.”

That fifth field is compatibility language only. Desktop Work Base is not a product of Binance and is not affiliated with Binance Holdings Ltd. Binance® is a trademark of Binance Holdings Limited. The name is used solely to indicate compatibility. The notebook does not store keys, does not place orders, and does not advise anyone to buy or sell.

Forbidden columns at this desk include floor, peak, and “what I should have done.” Those columns change a library into a rumour mill. Collectors who want live listings should navigate to Veve; collectors who want cataloguing should keep the notebook boring.

If a window closed and no file arrived, write “absent.” Honest absence is better than a screenshot pretending to be a comic on the shelf.
