Title: Could I somehow use Bitcoin as a value checker?
Post by: JackH on September 08, 2014, 04:35:47 PM
Say that I have 3 values. We call those 3 values X, Y and Z.

My 3 values go up and down every day based on manipulation from third party services. The values get added to and subtracted from all the time.

Instead of writing a verification system to keep my values in check from abuse, can I somehow use the Bitcoin protocol to save my values in real time?

Mind you, I am not talking about buying Bitcoin here, or converting my values to Bitcoin, but simply use Bitcoin as a point of verification to make sure that if my values are manipulated, then I have a timestamped storage of what X, Y and Z was at a given time.

Perhaps you could use something like one of these:

https://www.btproof.com  - "Trusted timestamping allows to prove you held a document, some information or a file at some specific point in time, in a way that can't be forged. "

or
