Proposing the o'block standard for nostr clients.

For an international community time conversion is, and always has been, a major headache. In my opinion nostr is perfectly placed to introduce the o'block standard to it's users. If it is for meetings, starting time of a stream, a Zapathon or anything else, o'block is always the same time for everyone.

Thus I'm proposing that app developers add a block height counter to their apps. Perhaps including the users local time just below. Doesn't require it's own NIP, simple enough to add and it puts everyone on the same time.

Written at 815,134 o'block

I'll be live on ZapStream around 815,142 o'block

Today's #Zapathon will commence at 815,172 o'block

$boost for visibility.

Opposed for using blocks for future times. Though i will entertain wagers on the date the next halving will be.

Im for using block height to mark memorable events, and would not be opposed to clients offering a toggle to show blockheight vs time of events but we lose granularity

Maybe we should add it just to keep nostr weird.
