Proof of concept implementation of Nostr NIP-03 OpenTimestamps Attestations for Events

Usage

let mut event_json = serde_json::json!(
  {
   "id":"2be17aa3031bdcb006f0fce80c146dea9c1c0268b0af2398bb673365c6444d45"
   // other event fields as defined in https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md#events-and-signatures
  }
);
let event_id = event_json["id"].as_str().unwrap();
let ots = nostr_ots::timestamp_event(event_id).unwrap();
event_json["ots"] = serde_json::Value::String(ots);
