A Command Line Interface (CLI) for creating and verifying Chainpoint proofs. See https://chainpoint.org

The Chainpoint CLI lets you submit hashes to a Chainpoint Node on the Chainpoint Network. Nodes periodically aggregate hashes and send data to Chainpoint Core for anchoring the hash to public blockchains.
The Chainpoint CLI lets you submit hashes to a Chainpoint Gateway on the Chainpoint Network. Gateways periodically aggregate hashes and send data to Chainpoint Core for anchoring the hash to public blockchains.

The CLI lets you retrieve and verify a Chainpoint proof. Each proof cryptographically proves the integrity and existence of data at a point in time.

You can get an overview of the CLI usage by typing the command (`chp`). The Gateway that the CLI will
communicate with will be chosen from those advertised as healthy on the network.

On first use, the CLI will create a `~/.chainpoint/cli` directory
where it will store its `chainpoint-proofs.db`
file. The database file will be managed for you and it is not recommended to
modify it yourself. The database stores a record of every hash
you submit, which Node it was submitted to, and a copy of the
you submit, which Gateway it was submitted to, and a copy of the
proofs. You can create a `cli.config` file in this directory
with a `CHAINPOINT_NODE_API_BASE_URI=` value if you'd like to
permanently specify a Node of your own choosing.
