Block Timestamps #34

Closed jmank88 closed 5 years ago

jmank88 commented 5 years ago

The block time chart is not based on the timestamps encoded into the blocks, but on the time that the blocks arrive at netstats: screenshot from 2018-10-17 17-29-24 This should be changed to show the difference between the timestamps of a block and its parent.

Related: block propagation should be calculated based on the difference between the arrival times at netstats (that's the best it can do), not the block timestamps.

After some recent changes and getting a better understanding of how this works, IMO this is not really an issue anymore. #33 is much more significant, and would lessen these irregularities as well.
