Thanks Prayank. I think the next step for both of these proposals is to define an API. I thought about including that in the BIPs and decided it wasn't necessary yet to get the ideas across initially. Maybe when the APIs are defined they could go into the BIP, but it's probably better to have in a

Thanks ZmnSCPxj. Yes, I agree there are many ways to embed arbitrary data in the blockchain and it's not feasible to block all of them. That is why it's important to, at the same time as limiting the OP_RETURN to one per block, also propose and implement a layer 2 solution for timestamping so peopl
