10.5 Bitcoin blockchain cannot provide fine grain timestamping
Wasabi Wallet
Bitcoin miners control block timestamps without enforcement, enabling manipulation at any sub-day granularity. Hour or minute-level timestamping breaks against adversarial miners when timestamps are economically valuable. Open Timestamps avoids this by rounding to daily precision, the only defensible granularity without block inspection.
