I have revived:
the project blockhashes of the ChessCoin blockchain

"
... and with this tries to give more trust into the blockchain (via timestamp here, see commits).

use cases, e.g.:

    a block explorer shows you data: can you trust it? ... Why? It is controlled by 1 person who can edit his database at any point :-(
        thus, check it with here. (Also, don't trust me, check my data here with a block explorer :-) )
    new users sync the chain: they can stop syncing when they see they are on a fork (hashes do NOT match)
    ...

The 2nd entry in my blog is dedicated to the checkpoint:

Please see the bug report for an overview:
* no uptodate checkpoint: https://github.com/COINFORCHESS/ChessCoin/issues/1

Why is it good to have a checkpoint ?
* at least until the checkpoint time the blockchain can not be manipulated anymore
* the syncing speed for new users will be better
  * since their clients with a newer checkpoint will decline clients which are on a fork
