What an amazing idea a block time based auction is! I love the fact no auction bot or bid sniper is able to grap the deal in the last second by just zapping 1 Sat higher then the second highest #zap This small change in the rules is reinvent the spirit of an auction. Rather than the typical 3, 2, 1... eBay Fiat rush, on #Nostr you can have up to 10 minutes the excitement of uncertainty so many online auction shoppers do enjoy 👍 When will ebaylike Nostr-clients introduce this gamechanging auction style?

Once, on an other account, I was playing some kind of evil character that would release sensitive informed at X blockheight. Many people were waiting and no one, not even me, knew when the info would be released. Amazing experiences.

Indeed, any block time based auction, content release, announcement, probably many more interesting use cases could take advantage of this experience. @TC wouldn't it be nice, if you would provide an option to Timechain calendar user to get an alert/notification, if we're getting closer to a specific block time 😉

I suppose, it needs to be done manually, at least until a proper #nostr feature is available: 1st figure out the time in hours and minutes the defined block was created, use
TIMECHAIN CALENDAR
Live data from the Bitcoin timechain with past block lookup and other calendar features.
 2nd go through all the comments on your note where you announced the auction. The nostrich with the highest zap at the block time is the winner. Maybe @Leathermint has a plan to figure it out more efficiently? Tricky, if someone is zapping to late, but higher, could end up in a big disappointment?
