I also need to add that functionality to OpenTimestamps to be able to selectively reveal parts of media and other files.
Unfortunately that'll have to be format specific.
We need some standard for chunking of videos and other large files.
That enables
1) verifying what you're getting before you've downloaded the entire large file,
2) downloading simultaneously from multiple servers or peers and
3) saved and scrollable livestreams — just publish the updated merkle root to your stream file every few seconds.
While we're at it, why not use blossom-compatible (sha-256) Bittorrent v2 merkle-trees https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/ — or maybe nostr:npub1h0rnetjp2qka44ayzyjcdh90gs3gzrtq4f94033heng6w34s0pzq2yfv0g soon?
