Notes

If NewsBunker becomes somewhat useful to people we will add a user rating system in which other users can rate content providers.

The tool records a link to the article, not the actual article, on the blockchain.

Any illegitimate use of the site will result in your account being banned.

Enhancements are welcome at Github.
