At the moment my OpenTimestamps calendars have a bit less than two weeks worth of funds remaining. At current fee rates it costs ~$30/week to timestamp every ~5 hours.
Donations would be appreciated. You can donate either on-chain, or with lightning, via: https://alice.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org/ or by zapping this post.
Hope you get funding or be able to stretch it with fewer timestamps.
Wouldn't one tx per day be enough?
That's a really good question!
While many uses of timestamps only need quite loose precision, in some cases better precision helps. That's why I created the https://github.com/opentimestamps/restamp project to re-timestamp Bitcoin blocks with high accuracy trusted timestamps – the Guatemalan election was being timestamped and having as good precision and accuracy as possible was useful. (My client even paid to timestamp every block during the election itself)
Of course, it's a trade-off between cost and precision. So right now I'm seeing if the community is willing to step up and pay for that precision. So far people have been willing, so I'm hopeful I can keep it at the ~5 hour level.
Bigger blocks fixes this 😃
