Feature Request: Automate Time Synchronization with NIST Server #15

Open aboka2k opened 3 months ago

aboka2k commented 3 months ago

I propose adding automatic time synchronization to the Pactus GUI/CLI clients. This would proactively sync the user's system time with the NIST time server whenever a significant discrepancy is detected (e.g., greater than a user-defined threshold). Accurate time is crucial for proper node/blockchain function. The current GUI only displays the time difference, requiring manual correction, which may not be feasible for users running nodes on VPS or similar environments.

p.s - I understand that some users may prefer not to have this feature enabled by default. Therefore, I suggest making it an optional feature that users can enable or disable as needed.
