Thank you very much for the additional infos and links, i will read them
all.

Oh, I forgot to mention that timestamping using blockchains is actually very easy, for example I timestamped my key's fingerprint:

https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?fingerprint=on&search=0x653909A2F0E37C106F5FAF546C8857E0D8E8F074&op=vindex

(look for timestamp+bitcoin-transact...@metacode.biz afcb092c5ca6409526d18ae9cf22d3b55d37e723eb1b74e3f84f7e6b052a162a)

And you can check out the transaction here:
https://blockexplorer.com/api/tx/afcb092c5ca6409526d18ae9cf22d3b55d37e723eb1b74e3f84f7e6b052a162a

(look for "OP_RETURN 653909a2f0e37c106f5faf546c8857e0d8e8f074" that is my key's fingerprint).

If you convert "time": 1507539820 seconds from there to date you'll get something like 2017-10-09T09:03:40.000Z.

OpenTimestamps (I think) uses Merkle trees to minimize fees but the downside is that the hash is not directly embedded in the blockchain and you need the extra files to reconstruct the tree root.

Have a nice day!

Kind regards,
Wiktor
