Implement NIP-03 - OpenTimestamps Attestations for Events
Basic example
This is a highly underutilized piece of technology. It was recently highlighted by the Simple Proof team who are helping to verify fair elections in Guatemala.
Motivation
Immutable/permissionless/distributed time-stamping is a powerful concept that can be used for everything from elections verification, to birth/marriage records, to registration of private property - all without a government or other TTPs. Possibly a more important feature of Bitcoin than even decentralized money.
