Cought you there, you didn't read it ))
It's actually much better in text compression.
but to your idea about sharing things via btc blockchain ...
you can store a hint for any program. how it interprets is up to that program. that peogram is not immutable like blockchain. so ... why/how?
Saved it for later. Now that I read it, it doesn't really change anything (but it's a good confirmation it's working well).
The usecase is still unknown (to me). I kinda like "arbitrary data on blockchain" as some kind of proof or a certificate. But there is maybe some other usecase for uncensorable content with timestamp that doesn't make (financial) sense without extreme compression. And I don't mean collectables :).
Yes I know opentimestamps exist.
Again: this is just thinking out loud in case someone else might get inspired.
the network is very conservative. and that's good. it allows you to save shit there (for a price) but all other programs outside of that network can interpret the data in ANY way. it's outside of (btc) consensus. lightning is not an exception. any l2.
