michael-sumner··on ScoreDetect – The #1 WordPress Timestamping Plugin
The WP plugin allows you to timestamp any content type (post, page, custom post type) into the blockchain so that you can create immutable proof of revision historical data. This allows you to increase "content provenance" by proving with "time".

Because the Internet Archive is in GRAVE DANGER, then this will help prove ownership of your content historically (especially for legal purposes where blockchain is used in your country's court of law).

Only the "fingerprint" (SHA256 hash) of the content is stored in the blockchain. Keeping it privacy-friendly.

The repository uses a GitHub action to automatically deploy the plugin updates to the WP SVN plugin repo.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading!

michael-sumner··on Protect Your Content with Blockchain (Open-Source)
If you have a blog, you need to read this.

In the past few months, there's been an increase of $$$ lost due to copyright scams.

Businesses are losing money because of stolen content.

If you make money from content, I've got something special to help you.

I've spent 6+ months working on a WordPress plugin.

To Protect your content with blockchain copyright protection.

Publish your content with verifiable certificates and a verifiable revision history.

Sign up to the waitlist to know when it launches!

→ https://scoredetect.com/wordpress

Transparent, 24/7 verifiable, blockchain-enabled, easy-to-use, privacy-first.

Our initial release will contain the following features:

1 → Easily connect your ScoreDetect account to WordPress

2 → You can then enable Timestamping for a post (or, custom post type)

3 → Once enabled, everytime the post is saved, a timestamp will be created with a verifiable certificate.

4 → A "Timestamp" Gutenberg block will allow you to showcase a " verified badge" with a link to the certificate — for that post

5 → You can specify if you wish to be "anonymous" or identify your account/username with the certificate.

~ More features coming soon! ~
