Blockchain Notary

Timestamps a cryptographic digest of a given document into the blockchain and connects it to a pubkeyhash to prove a chain of ownership. The document is considered to be owned by the initial creator and can be transferred to others. This is similar to how assets are issued and the issuer remains in control unless he transfers issuer status to a new ownership.

When reading back the blockchain the system should parse out notary data into the local database so when presented with a document, the API it can quickly hash it and determine if it already exists.
