Not intentionally. You asked a valid question and it would be interesting to know the extremes of block intervals. However…
I always thought that blocks excluded reference to real world time. So unless somebody is recording the real world times when blocks are made, the only “time” we have for the historical blockchain is the block number.
Off topic: I have a strange theory about fish in ponds. Fish have no sense of time other than their heartbeats and because they are cold blooded their hearts slow down in winter. Does that mean that for fish winter flies by and summer goes on for ages? There’s a disconnect between fish time and real world time.
Back to topic: I think something similar happens with real world time and blockchain time.
I thought #Bitcoin time (counted in blocks) was separate from world time (counted in minutes, etc). Is the world time recorded in the blocks? If not, surely all blocks are one “tick-tock next block” apart.
Now, maybe somebody is keeping a record of when blocks are mined but how can we verify, rather than simply trust that data?
One for folk in Bristol, UK.
On Fridays and Saturdays, Jonny, a street poet sits outside Arnolfini. Ask him to write something - anything - and he will tear your heart apart.
And the drab reality is that he will do it for #Bitcoin over lightning.
Seek him out. It is worth it for so many reasons.
A #Bitcoin thought…
Small very local, yet internationally recognised, circular economies such as Bitcoin Beach will increase their Bitcoin holdings as tourists visit bringing in their Bitcoin. Wouldn’t this be the same as money printing and therefore result in inflation?
Ha! Never mind the days of the week blurring into each other. Eventually you’ll find that the hours of the day are indistinguishable and working to 3 o’clock in the morning is normal because you’re on a bit of a roll on some exciting project.
May the force be with you.
After 9/11 when planes stopped flying the pan rate (a measure of sunlight reaching US) increased dramatically. Contrails are contributors to global dimming. Stopping them would be “interesting” in terms of the global climate science.
I used kinguin.net a while ago. It felt a little scary at the time and I was very cautious (scams, viruses, etc) but all was ok. Nicely reasonable, too. Good luck with this .
What chance the code breaks on block 840,000?
#Bitcoin is not defined by the code. It is defined by the rules the code enforces.
I bought a coffee at a wagon today and asked “Can I pay with my Bitcoin?”.
She explained it would be too complicated for her - then proceeded to enter the items into an iPad, added up the prices, enter the amount into a card machine and negotiate the card transaction.
Bitcoin is not hard. Educating people is.
#Bitcoin doesn’t have inflation.
- or -
The halvening cuts #Bitcoin inflation in half.
Finally found the account on an old disk? Good for them!
…and then WW3 started.
I'm not a great fan of technical analysis, particularly for #Bitcoin, but this 3 month price chart (in GBP) showing a Bullish Pennant was just screaming to have some lines drawn on it!

I hear that $1 billion worth of #Bitcoin shorts will be liquidated at $72K. Onwards and upwards.🤞
How do we attract groups of people and other online communities?
Simple: one person at time.
How out “Hey
Love and sats to you all.
