Title: [ANN] Self Notary

Use any coin blockchain as notary service without the need of third party software or service. More explanation on http://btcluck.blogspot.com/2014/10/using-bitcoin-based-blockchain-as.html and the project on https://github.com/Slavco/selfnotary

Cheers

In every respect there is no such thing as self-notary.

1) notaries cannot notarize their own material,
2) notaries are constitutional officers of the state they have an oath of office, non-people cannot do that
3) a notary must legally know their signers, this knowing process varies from state to state, in Florida for example it requires that you identify the signer with prescribed ID, if you don't know them personally;
4) in many states many notary acts cannot be done for close family members -- presumed conflict of interest,

for the above reasons fundamentally the whole idea of "self-notary" is wrong.

Ok, maybe the word notary is wrong you can see on this as tool / PoC how you can use the blockchain to prove that some document in digital form is in your posession from transaction time until now. This could be handy for photography, desing, researchers,...

While you give a facts about real notary you can give arguments about transactions that exclude banks... Yes it is bitcoin and blockchain :)
