I want to thank you and the other user (hobofan) for pointing out the use of crypto currencies as C2s. I do bioinformatics for a living, not infosec, so that's another fun little rabbit hole for me to go on...

Hey I actually created something like this when I was once curious. Its called nanotimestamps

I found it when I realized that nano had 0 fees and I realized that by using a nano vanity address generator, I can embed data into a series of transactions and then basically embed data into the chain (for free) since there is 0 gas fees

Now I created it as a way of getting timestamps of any data onto the chain but you can embed any information and create c2c's on top of that

There is also a way that I vibe coded once to embed data directly into the vanity address and so you can lose 10^-32 nano or basically negligble which is more efficient as well

If you have any questions, I'd love to answer (also even if I like the tech, I think that crypto's fundamentally really really volatile and I prefer things like index funds being honest)
