Add Bitcoin block hash to proof-of-freshness
Rational as Joanna Rutkowska put it: 1. Simple 2. Doesn't trust external organizations 3. Doesn't require working RSS feeds to be verified Blockchain.info's API is used, with the 10th most-recent block hash used rather than the most recent to (drastically) reduce the risk of a re-org invalidating the hash used. That said, if that does happen (or blockchain.info screws up) it's not the end of the world: we still have the RSS feeds as backup.
