@luxe Checked mine - all in sync via NTP

Windows 10 Registry hack to add your ntp server of your choice. Might be wise to add one closest to your location. Scroll down to the section: Registry key... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers to set a custom NTP server. Oh BTW always back up the registry before editing.

Everyone running a pool or mining solo should check (if not sure about it) if system time is in sync. i saw some rejected blocks due to wrong time in wallets logs in the last days.

haitch

@luxe ntptime reports the time is ok on all mine.

luxe

@haitch I was quite sure it was not on your side, maybe new solo miner or a new pool.

LithStud

@luxe seen couple such errors in my command line as well.

a tip from somebody that went through this: forget USB for Pulse-per-second GPS. USB is polled, eating up a full core with gpsd, and still has only 1ms accuracy. Go for a "proper" serial connection, next-to-no overhead and 50-100 us accuracy.

But that is uneccesary for the Wallet, it is happy with offsets <1s (for very short blocks), and on the order of 10s in general.

ZapbuzZ

@vaxman thanks for that.

Once again, someone is seriously losing money out there, just because his pool or solo setup run through a wallet without system time in sync.
