2 identities knowing data came from each other due to the properties of public key encryption. Is this a good summary? For which use cases should this property come in handy?

Something to be aware of with regards to the "Blockchain Timestamp" feature: OP_RETURN data is limited to 80 bytes. I wonder if there are any such limits with the bitcoin software itself that you would need to reverse to construct

Don't you think we have other problems too if Sha-2 is broken? I'm going to assume that you aren't worried about the numerous other applications where this scenario would be catastrophic? In any case, this scenario has very w
