    Ordinal NFT Upgrades: Issued by ordinal owner

    +
      +
    • Currently, anyone can assign an NFT to an ordinal.
      • +
    • This strikes some people as weird, like digital graffiti.
      • +
    • In the future, may want to give some special status, like “self-issued” if the NFT is signed with a public key that held the ordinal.
      • +
    +

    Ordinal NFT Upgrades: Timestamping

    +
      +
    • Age is of great interest to NFT collectors
      • +
    • Including a timestamp in an NFT is an easy way to prove the age of an NFT
      • +
    +

    Ordinal NFT Upgrades: Publicity

    +
      +
    • Timestamps prove that an NFT was created before a particular time
      • +
    • Timestamps don’t prove that there wasn’t anything that was created earlier
      • +
    • It might be desirable to add a public issuance method, i.e. one where the chain can be scanned for such issuences, and a total ordering to be established over them
      • +
    • Very reluctant to do this, since this kind of embedding of public data in the Bitcoin blockchain is not very aesthetically pleasing or culturally acceptable to bitcoiners
