indeed, i once added a proof-of work requirement to public keys on an open relay server protocol, in additon to posk, in order to make it harder to roll new keys and access the network as a spammer/scammer. not hard to embed anything in a public key, but you can't embed too much, especially if

It is important to also note that proof of secret key schemes are highly data inefficient and likely would have a higher cost for users than simply allowing arbitrary data to continue. In ECDSA, purposely re-using k values allows you to encode data in both k and the entire secret key, as both

Good morning Russel and List, That is correct. There is a counterparty-compatible project called STAMPS that breaks up image data into chunks and then embeds the chunks in bare multisig outputs. here is an example on one:
