New: Timestamp your GitHub projects automatically

TimeCert is a service for timestamping content. This provides evidence that something existed at a given time. TimeCert will give you the timestamp for when someone first referenced a given digest.

a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3

While this may not mean anything to you and me, an application can generate this digest very easily and compare it against other digests. Technically speaking it is a Hex encoded SHA1 digest.

To use this in your own application all you have to do is do a http get request at one of the following URLS, where you replace the digest with your own digest:
