Finally had some time to play around with Wordproof and so far this is a great piece of software. However, to be completely honest, I'm unsure to what extent "real protection" if any, Wordproof actually comes with in protecting original content.

Let's get the easy things out of the way -

1. The UX is easy, and from signing up to actually adding your first site (I used Wordpress) is a piece of cake. You get a site key which you add to the Wordpress plugin.
2. Timestamping the content is quite easy as well and you can select which content you want to time stamp
Note: You can edit the site that you want Wordproof to work with by editing the site directly on the Wordproof dashboard

The easy stuff above is that easy, now moving onto the meat of how I think Wordproof is supposed to work

The benefit of Wordproof is that you can timestamp the post of your original content on the blockchain of your choice, although they seem to favor EOS by default. You can post to Ethereum although it may be reserved to paying members.

The big question that I personally couldn't figure out even after using WordProof is the big old "so what??".
Timestamping the content is great and it works well right out of the box, but so what? Anyone can still technically "steal" your work, publish it as their own, and although Wordproof claims the search engines can determine if your content was the original, I didn't see any implementation of that or visibly shown on Dashboard or in other metrics. For example, if someone or someplace has very very similar content to what I originally posted, it would be cool to get alerted.

Again, I only worked within Wordproof for a few minutes now and it gets the job done as it stated it would time-stamp. The portion of my review that docks off 1 taco is the after-timestamp functionality.

Overall, I'm very very eager to see how this platform plays out. I think they got something truly special here, hoping to see this platform develop in the next year and perhaps include alerts for when content is similar beyond 90% same as to your original content.
