This +is generally not necessary, can harm your privacy and is somewhat risky because +the code is not well tested. + +Use the `--btc-wallet` argument after `stamp` command to use this feature, +optionally specifying a fee rate in sat/vbyte with `--fee-rate`. It is +possible to RBF the resulting transaction and then resume the process using +the `--txid` and `--nonce` arguments. + +See `ots stamp --help` for more info. + ### Timestamping and Verifying PGP Signed Git Commits See `doc/git-integration.md`
