Today I ran a test of a base level protocol design that I've been working on for a few months. I content-addressed a 254 page protocol white paper on IPFS, anchored its hash to Bitcoin block 941,445, drafted a Metadata Wrapper with a real DAO Configuration Object, and pinned everything to my IPFS node permanently. No code, just using existing tools. This is what the protocol will be able to do when completed — I just did it manually with what's already available to me as a proof of concept.
The protocol is called IPFS-Sats — combining content-addressed storage, Bitcoin timestamping, and Lightning micropayments into self-sustaining infrastructure for content verification and creator compensation.
Achievement Get: My first content hashed file timestamped to the Bitcoin blockchain, available for anyone to confirm.
