[feature request] Timestamp an arbitrary hash

[jonathancross]

I see this is an option for the js client: https://github.com/opentimestamps/javascript-opentimestamps#stamp

Is this possible in the python client?

[FrancisPouliot]

I was also wondering this. There are a few differences with the javascript client also you will notice verification of a stamp using insight.

@RCasatta ?

From looking at the code, I don't think so. But, you can verify a file given a certain hash.

opentimestamps-client/otsclient/args.py

Lines 210 to 211 in b51a949

	parser_verify.add_argument('timestamp_fd', metavar='TIMESTAMP', type=argparse.FileType('rb'),
	help='Timestamp filename')

Okay, thanks. I'll turn this into a feature request then :-)
