## 项目历史与用法

OpenTimestamps Client is the Python command-line implementation for creating and verifying OpenTimestamps proofs. It anchors file and Git-commit timestamps to Bitcoin-backed attestations, producing small `.ots` proof files that can be checked independently later.

### 项目历史

Peter Todd announced OpenTimestamps in September 2016 as a scalable, trust-minimized, distributed timestamping scheme using Bitcoin. The design separates the timestamp proof format from any single web service: calendars aggregate commitments, Bitcoin supplies the public time attestation, and clients can later verify proofs against the blockchain.

The client repository packages the everyday tooling around that protocol: stamping files, upgrading pending timestamps, verifying proofs, and integrating timestamps into PGP-signed Git commits. The Git integration work targeted a software-supply-chain problem: a commit signature proves who signed a commit, while a timestamp helps show when that signature existed.

### 采用历史

OpenTimestamps appealed to users who wanted blockchain-backed proof-of-existence without putting whole documents on-chain or trusting a single timestamping authority. Public calendar servers made ordinary timestamp creation cheap and fast, while local verification with Bitcoin Core kept the trust model understandable for security-sensitive users.

The client remained niche compared with general signing tools, but it developed a small ecosystem of protocol implementations in Python, JavaScript, Java, and Rust. Its strongest adoption story is in release engineering, archival proof, research-notebook integrity, and Git-history timestamping rather than broad consumer file sharing.

### 使用方式

Users run commands such as `ots stamp`, `ots verify`, and Git wrapper commands to create proof files, complete pending attestations, and check that a file or commit existed before a Bitcoin block time. Verification can use a local Bitcoin Core node, including a pruned node, so the proof does not depend on the original calendar server staying online.

The package’s `ots-git-gpg-wrapper` executable is especially package-nerdy: it composes Git signing, GPG signatures, and timestamp proofs so release commits can carry both identity and time evidence.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

This package sits at the intersection of packaging, cryptography, and reproducible provenance. It is small, but it gives maintainers a way to attach time evidence to source releases, commits, and artifacts without inventing a full transparency log.

### 时间线

- 2016-09: OpenTimestamps was announced as a Bitcoin-backed timestamping protocol.
- 2016-09: Git integration was documented as a way to timestamp PGP-signed commits.
- 2020s: client release notes continued to refine Git extraction, cache locations, timestamp display precision, and verification behavior.
