You can dig up kind 1040 events using NAK with: nak req -e [ID of event] -k 1040 [relay] You can also verify the timestamp but you need github.com/fiatjaf/ots for that. Now you will never ever have to wonder who published the timestamp :) Btw

Oh ok. I'm retard level when it comes to the technical stuff. But the nostr post is him right? Its the account that's on his X bio. And not sure what ots timestamp exactly is or where it comes in if you could explain to me please.
yes it's his npub. ots is simply a cryographic approach to proof something happened after a specific time. for example when an event published. someone did an ots for ross post and @Peter Todd is wondering is that him or someone else. afaik, ross is using primal and primal won't let him to do it. so, i believe its someone else probably using amey. not hard to find out who is him. i hope it be clear for you.
Ohh ok got it. Thanks. So make sure I understand- Yes, the account and post is Ross. And the timestamp to solidify its timing was done by someone else. Appreciate the response.
As an additional remark: its actually based on the Bitcoin blockchain. You can now cryptographically proof that the timestamp i produced, is (in special way) embedded in a particular bitcoin block. This means that any outsider (that has his hands on this proof) can verify that Ross his post must have existed before the time of that particular Bitcoin block. And because of Bitcoin's proof of work system, you have high assurances as to when (roughly) that must have been. Unfortunatly you don't know how long before, but at the very least not after. Now because its just a proof and it relies on Bitcoin, it does not matter that I was the one that produced the proof, i am completely irrelevant to the verification process. I.e anyone can timestamp anything from anyone else.
