#asknostr Opentimestamps ELI5 please, what do I do exactly step-by-step to timestamp a post on nostr? There is an option in Amethyst but not sure how ...

what happens is that amethyst sends the event-ID of the event that is being timestamped to a timestaming/calender server. This server gathers all kinds of things, bundles them using a merkle-tree and does a Bitcoin transaction that includes the root of that merkletree.

Then when that transaction is mined into a Bitcoin block, the server produces individual proofs for all the items, and sends those proofs back to the people that submitted things, which would include you and the proof for the event you wanted to timestamp. Then you create a nostr event that contains that proof, and tada, you now have a proof that some event atleast existed before some point in time.

So all you have to do is press the button in amethyst and wait for stuff to get mined into bitcoin, thats it, you don't have to do anything else.

Whether this explanation fits your idea of being five does not concern me, this is the answer you are getting.
