I was wrong about my initial impression but also possibly on to something as it pertains to the hash tree that could be created with Blake.
Hash / Merkle Tree Concept
Rather than just creating an appended list (sort of like blockchain) and then adding an additional operation that merely hashes the last input, it feels like it would be prudent to have all of the values hashed together in some capacity.
So that means:
1) H = x
2) H(x)
3) H(H(X))
4) H(H(H(X)))
There's something that's missing in this construction.
Only way that this could work is if the generator of the hash chain kept at least a few values secret.
But it is impossible for this to be done in a way where all of those values are kept secret and this be seen as externally valid.
The only other way is to ensure that all of the values are public. But if you must do that then you need to devise another method that will require people to remain honest bc you've trapped off their avenues for "cheating".
This is why the write-up on the way that time is calculated on the blockchain is extremely fucking important - it is an objective source of randomness that keeps everyone honest if it can be adhered to.
The idea that I had about the UNIX time tracking was interesting, but ultimately one critical underpinning here (hmm...)

Telegram is an aspiring new messaging app that’s taking the world by storm. The app is free, fast, and claims to be one of the safest messengers around. It allows people to connect easily, without any boundaries.You can use channels on Telegram, which are similar to Facebook pages. If you’re wondering how to find channels on Telegram, you’re in the right place. Keep reading and you’ll find out how. Also, you’ll learn more about channels, creating channels yourself, and the difference between private and public Telegram channels.
Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
