Timelock predictions can't be deleted once scheduled — and that's the point

ctjlewis · x · 2026-10-08

Follow-up from ctjlewis on his drand-based timelock tool: once you schedule a hash, there's currently no way to delete it, and he may keep it that way. The reasoning: otherwise you could blast a thousand predictions and only reveal the one that worked. You can still try, but the record makes post-hoc cherry-picking obvious — preserving the tool's value as prediction attestation.
