 Why not Calendar Date, Time Events and RSVP kind 31922, 31923, 31925?

Some apps are already using these 
 I use 31923 for recurring scheduled events for Corny Chat. There's also live events 30311, which has a status tag as planned.

It would be awesome if regular events like citadel dispatch and RHR were publishing these events and showing up on calendars

 Possibly. While Bitcoin sidesteps the Byzantine General's problem it does a great job tackling a problem using time, limited but evolving resources (miners, energy, work, coins), all constrained by the difficulty adjustment

 If you could wave a magic wand, what change would you apply to make OpenSats more transparent? 
 see i'd go with keeping the proposal input form the same but make the review process/phases more transparent...

whats in the queue
when the next review is
any rejection reason or need more info 
 military promotions based on TIS, merit etc are not equivical to how different project proposals are assessed. Its far more easier to be objective when treating people as just stats vs that where the end goals of projects differ. every review system can be gamed due to the parties involved, but we can make it easier to see if thats the case 
 Maybe someone should do a grant request proposal to nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9ruspzpmhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwghszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs2juazd to create a general use transparent review process powered in part by nostr note kinds, encryption where appropriate, and laddered relays for authz.

 So we passed 36 trilly. 

We're adding roughly 4trillion/yr

2025 = 40 trillion
2026 = 44      "
... 
 Or adding 11% per year...
2025 = 40
2026 = 44
2027 = 49
2028 = 54
2029 = 60
2030 = 67 
 2040 = 191
2050 = 542
2060 = 1,541

 Yeah... the frequency of use is my main holdback on acquisition. I have the older coldcards that i rather enjoy though

 I'm an open source developer that owns a BLOCKCLOCK mini. 

As part of my enduring efforts to promote vicarious drama, ...

Don't accept Gucci and Prada knockoffs. A real blockclock works with open dimes, supports sd card updates and has an i2c interface

#TeamBlockclock 
 People can still buy the parts and the source code can be hosted elsewhere. BTClock should have gone with a unique design. 
 So can my raspberry pi with a screen attached. See my foss nodeyez.com project, a suitable use for raspberry pi devices when people upgrade their nodes. it can even run on a pi zero 
 you can check if its sealed or unlocked. check if its valid. check the balance 
 nah.. its a perk of vicarious drama 
 fixed 
 Im a happy user of the Blockclock Mini by Coinkite. While I wish I could do more with the API for visuals and lighting, it's still a great appliance that can be used to display arbitrary information.

 How about calling it PlebClock or OSSClock or BOSSClock and altering the design to not so closely mimic the BlockClock?

I might not change the world, but I didn’t have to ask ... 
 This is what sold me on nostr when I first started working with it last year. Its a fairly level playing field for access to data, ability to publish and no central gatekeeper for api keys demanding an email, phone number or credit card
