I have been advocating for divine digital signatures so that we can get cryptographic proof that God exists

How would that work? Have god change the pizza transaction to just 1,000 btc instead of 10,000, and that will be proof for me.

Not to mention the sender will be VERY happy. A win win for all!

A divine digital signature is a computation that is attached to a document that is easy to verify but which is so hard to produce, that you might as well believe that the computation came from a deity. I know how to make divine digital signature algorithms, and I will get to work for a low price of 200 USD/hr. Or maybe I should increase my rate due to inflation and due to how annoying people are.

If you are saying you charge $200/hour for your god to modify the blockchain, I'm in!

I cannot control the behavior of any deities. The only thing I can do is create a cryptographically secure puzzle that is too difficult for any non-deity to solve. And that will be $200/hr. That is a very small price to pay in order to gain confidence in the words of eternal life. Or maybe I should increase my rate.
