Earlier the public metronome was down. All is well now
Thanx!
Can I use a metronome or only the public one?
Are there only btc metronomes or also others?
Do they result in the same mining restart moment?
And last but not least, is there any roadmap for BLE?
What are the plans for 2019?
Here's my attempt at answering based on what I've heard in discord.
1. You can use your own metronome. There are some basic instructions on the github, and it requires enough disk space for the entire btc blockchain.
2. Right now it uses the btc metronome. I read that it could be switched to another coin in the future, if necessary or preferable.
3. They should be in sync, and theoretically I think the local metronome would be a tiny bit faster, and probably better if you're hosting a network on a LAN.
4+5. Don't know.
