Is there a specific reason why you went for the three second block time or was that an arbitrary choice?

Assuming you mean three minutes. We wanted to ensure the network had enough time to mine, submit and verify blocks while ensuring all transactions are send and received in a very fast order...

I get that but Monero is functioning pretty well with two minutes block time. I was wondering whether you had a particular reason to change that.

No reason in particular, except to ensure the blockchain has enough time (mostly due to past latency issues with other cryptocurrencies...).
