I have been living my life in block height as much as possible the last year+. I'm just waiting for someone to create an app that can give me an alarm at certain block heights and a count down/up block height timer.
Discussion
Yes. 👀🍀
So I contacted the dev of the amazing site/app Timechain Calendar on Twitter a few months ago (I forgot his name/username now and I'm doing #MarchOffTwitter) and asked him if he'd possibly add that to his app. He said it sounded like a good idea and he put it on his roadmap. No idea if he'll actually do it or not but it would be amazing. It's also what I use to guesstimate what block height a future date/time will be. But having that all at your fingertips would be amazing!!
PS: Having a BlockClock really helps with always being aware of the block height too.
LoL, come on guys this can't be serious.
NIST: Measures time to within a few millionths of a second over decades using cesium atoms.
Bitcoiners: bLoCKcHAin tEchNolOgy to measure time. (Plus or minus a couple minutes every 10 minutes.)
😂 I'm 100% serious. I live my life by block height as much as possible. For example I do a 430 block fast instead of a 72 hour fast, etc. Obviously it doesn't work for everything but whenever I can. At all times I'm aware of what block it is plus or minus a few.
Sounds amazing. After leaving fiat slavery, we can be more flexible with time, without worrying that you'll get fired if you're 1 minute late to a meeting and instead just enjoy the moment
Can you tell us more about how you use it and how you got started?
I use it mostly to mark longer periods of time. For example how long I've known somebody or when a certain event occurred. I also use it to mark my fasts. I don't use it for things like baking brownies or dentist appointments.😂
Oh, I also use it to track my sleep time. Greater than 50 blocks, I had a good sleep!
