Title: Time counting in blocks
Post by: Bitfort on November 17, 2017, 02:54:30 AM
I recently notice that I'm subconsciously converting time frames into number of blocks .... Somehow I remembered that 1000 blocks are roughly 1 week. So when somebody says two weeks I imagine 2000 blocks.
Soon I'll be like: When will the bus arrive? I dunno about half a block (in 5 minutes)  :D

Am I degenerated too much? Anybody else doing same?

what exactly is the basis for 1 block if a week is 1000 blocks? Just trying to get a clearer pic here😊

So what is the exact conversion of time to blocks? Im also curious with this. It was use in trading in etherdelta, using blocks instead of remaining minutes or hour

there is 1 block every 10 minutes (in average).

so e.g 5 minutes is a "half block" ... 15 minutes can be 1 and half blocks ... one hour (6 blocks) etc.

well, then you're quite into math then? 😊

I'll never get done computing the next time i need,  it will take me more than 1 block to do that lol😊
