It's a chat log from the months after oct/2016 when JA went dark. I can attest to it's authenticity.

The programs in that chat log are simple python programs that poll blockchain.info for transaction data found within a transaction id. The original Jean.py script pulled data from a single transaction ID, but further iterations (jean3.py) followed a tree of transactions to generate much larger files. There are gigabytes of data immutably included in the Bitcoin Blockchain.

Hilariously enough, alt-coins that used a hard fork of the bitcoin blockchain, to seed their own, also contain the wikileaks data. (bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, ect.).

In the example provided, they used the transaction number that contains data for the cablegate backup. Wikileaks shoved their entire proof of publication, AND DATA into the blockchain well before anyone knew to look. Well after it could be changed or manipulated. It's immutable. Never to go away. Forever existing as long as bitcoin remains secure.

You'll notice references to satoshi nakamoto's download tool which can be found within the transaction provided. This is a very simple tool that allows you to perform similar actions as the jean.py script.

This is a very deep and fruitful rabbit hole. Very reliant on technical programming knowledge and knowledge of the bitcoin protocol. Read between the lines. Use the examples as a guide for further research.

Did anyone decide to look at the header of the decrypted file to ensure that it is or is not salted? If it's salted, it's still encrypted (either failed decrypt or another layer as you imply). However if it's not salted, then grep the file for known headers of file types often used by wikileaks. 7zip, pdf, images and video filetypes. You may be able to excise from the larger file data of use.

You can create blockchain transactions from these hash codes. I'll chime in on it when I get home. I have the info archived.

Basically you need to look into how bitcoin generates it's addresses. It's a series of hashes that generates a unique ID. These hashes are from one of the steps in the creation of a bitcoin address.

Find the address and you have a starting point. The addresses have transactions related to them and can be extrapolated using jean.py or other means.
