## Description

This plugin offers limited support. This is something I had developed for my own
blog (Bombthrower.com) and decided to release it because a lot Bitcoiners have taken
to referring to the blockheight as a kind of timestamp.

In the back of my mind I have the idea that if it becomes widely used, I may add
options to link the blockheight field to an on-chain copy of the post somewhere,
like IPFS (or maybe an ordinal).

## FAQ

### How does it get the blockheight?

It makes a call to an endpoint maintained on a server here, it’s just a .txt file
with the current blockheight. There’s cronjob that populates that from a nearby 
Bitcoin node on our network.

### Does it support any other blockchains? Like Ethereum?

No. Next question.

### Does it update the blockheight for a post when it is revised?

Not yet. This may be added if there is any demand for it.
