Hindstamps provides you with a way to prove prior knowledge of certain facts without exposing them at the time, a short-term time-capsule, if you will.

How is that useful, you ask? Well,

You can participate in some of our prediction challenges and gain reputation points, if your call turns out correct and without worrying about other users riding on your coattails.

You can store your impressions, opinions on things, as well as the true motives behind any possibly controversial actions youre about to commit, that might be too soon to put out there, yet you need to prove that its pre-meditated/planed from day one and not just conveniently made up after the fact.

You can store business ideas, your research progress and other sensitive information that might be stolen from you or do you more harm than good, if exposed at this stage, yet you need proof of prior art.

And many more... just think of all the times you had something to say, but choose to remain silent due to social pressures. All of these moments should be captured, because you never know which one of them might turn out to be your winning ace later on.

What else makes Hindstamps so special?

The security design. Under the hood, Hindstamps is a zero-knowledge proof system, which means that not even we can access protected user content until its public disclosure, yet the proof of its prior existence is there.

As Bitcoin has shown, cryptography can work wonders. No need to take anyones word for it, just trust the math. But remember, with more liberty comes more responsibility: Dont forget your password!

Also available for Android and, in a limited scope, as a Chrome extension for those who like to write extensively on controversial topics and might need some reputation insurance.
