Compression code integration

[rosieRRRRR]

Hey guys, just wondering if there’s any compression code built into the Ordinals Protocol?

If not I had an idea that you could possibly integrate Huffman Coding (or something similar) to seamlessly compress and decompress files.

Proposed workflow:

User selects a file to inscribe.

Client side compression occurs in the background before initiating the txn.

User inscribes a smaller file than they would have otherwise.

Decompression code allows files to be displayed in wallets, marketplaces and explorers.

You can already compress with brotli and use the br content-encoding as a field in the inscription.

Cool thanks, I was thinking more along forced compression lines

What do you mean by forced compression?
