Why is notBefore and delay in seconds and not milliseconds?

[kristianeboe]

I kept getting errors when using the SDK that I was trying to delay a message more than a year, when i finally found in your SDK docs that you expect delay and notBefore in seconds.

Most JS dates and durations operate with milliseconds, wouldn't that be a simpler standard for you too?

I'm trying to do this now 🤞

Yeah, fair point it was mostly because I thought delaying <1s wouldn't be accurate anyways.

JS does handle everything in milliseconds, but that's not necessarily true for all other languages, so there isn't a clear path forward.
