Exactly, not saying it should be any different. But I should be able to pay *voluntarily* to have certain events immutable and timestamped without trusting anyone. Right now, anyone can publish any timestamp (even future) and any relay can do whatever they want in terms of dumping events. If your nsec was compromised for example, you’d want to publish an immutable timestamped event that says “this nsec is pwned”… only one example that I would GLADLY pay for and is not securely & trustlessly possible (without NIP03: which relies on a 3rd party and no client implements).

Totally. Just keeping under 83 bytes 🫡 for old times sake

Word… the issue is when it’s too small you need 3rd party services to make it useful. Like Opentimestamps
