How do you compare to opentimestamps.org? (other than ETH instead of BTC)

  For now, it's very similar. The main difference is that OpenTimestamps is a bit more opaque. Basically, you get a confirmation, and then you can validate stuff on the site. I try to provide full instructions how to verify everything without CryptoProof site at all, just tracing the transaction.

      When submitting, you get a binary .ots file, and no idea how exactly the file is submitted to the blockchain. The only way to verify is to re-upload the .ots file and get the yes or no response. Actually tracking the chain of proof is very difficult.
