   Since I am not affiliated to a big corp I guess 'power' dynamics skew against me more than 'financial' criteria. I think if I can't make money, I should consider being famous. It is something like you had invented a

    We are talking timestamping here. If any money was ever sent to the address generated by the hash of the doc, even if the current balance at that address is zero, proves that that document existed at the time money was sent. Why care about

    Why cant we simply hash the document to create a key and then use this key to seed and generate an address? var bytes = Crypto.SHA256(key, { asBytes: true }); var btcKey = new Bitcoin.ECKey(bytes); We can then send some money t
