Precursive Inscriptions: A Bitcoin-native Private Publishing Mechanism someguy someguy@precursive.tools www.precursive.tools 4de67a207019fd4d855ef0a188b4519c7040281c9c121fc28574b0bd58bd3927 hash@precursive.tools www.precursive.tools Abstract. A specially authored recursive inscription process is employed to encrypt data during its upload, which spans multiple Bitcoin[1] transactions and blocks. This method not only optimizes publishing fees by spreading out the necessary blockspace demand over multiple blocks, but also enables the segmentation of files larger than a single block. Subsequently, decryption is facilitated through an eventual publishing transaction that discloses the private key, decrypting and recursively relating the seemingly unrelated preceding inscriptions. Additionally, this mechanism can be configured with a time-lock feature on the publishing transaction, thereby serving as a safeguard or “dead man's switch”.
