Hey everybody. Noticed something strange: often on new blocks they come with timestamps AHEAD of my wallet (and my wallet is perfectly synced with ntp, double checked), so my wallet says "Current block age: -30 seconds" or even "-50 seconds", or "-10 seconds" - you get it Smiley negative values of TENS of seconds. Why is that? Is that only my problem? https://www.screencast.com/t/rPEjrvGtb
I thought that could be the problem with mining: if your computer is perfectly synced with time servers and finds a block, and simultaneously someone's computer is "ahead of time" and finds a block too - its HIS block included into network due to higher timestamp?.. How this network checks its current time and synchronizing? I think something is broken here, because it is very-very strange to have network-accepted blocks with timestamps ahead of world time servers by tens of seconds.
