See "What Can and Can't Timestamps Prove?":
https://petertodd.org/2016/opentimestamps-announcement#what-can-and-cant-ti=
mestamps-prove
OpenTimestamps makes a trade-off: timestamps have significant limitations a=
s to
what they're able to prove. But in exchange, they have exceptionally good
scalability, making them essentially free to use. Timestamps are also much
easier to add on to existing processes and systems such as Git repositories.
Schemes that prove uniqueness require much more engineering and redesign wo=
rk
to actually accomplish anything.
