Re: Introducing the Bitcoin Ordinals DID Method

hmm nevermind I guess finder was giving me the wrong bytes.. Looks like the
bespoke solution is still going to win by a large margin. If anyone has any
other ideas on how to compress a fully expressive DID Document I'm all
ears.. Right now I'm using the same technique as did:peer numalgo 2.

Sorry for the list spam everyone.. I'll try to keep my technical
discussions to a minimum
