Also, for people who want to do the time zone conversion, it's not currently EST, rather it's EDT. A month ago several pyramid runners made this mistake and had many people in Europe confused.
So the starting time is 5:00 PM (17:00) UTC

I'm from east coast of the US that's what we call it here but I used the conversion to military time and it says 13:00 not 17:00 From now on I will use military time,sorry to confuse people. Also what is the best time to start a round for you guys?

That discussion will never be over. The best thing I could think of would be to maybe do a poll and see what the best time would be. Local would need to be by UTC ( http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx ). Poll would be: 12:01AM, 6AM, 10AM, 12:01PM, 6PM, 10PM See what the most popular time would be.

Also what is the best time to start a round for you guys? I'm from the east coast as well. It's currently daylight savings time, so the timezone is ED(aylight)T which ends up offsetting the time by one hour from EST. So anyone converting the time you gave would be off by one. Also, UTC is not eastern time zone, it's a universal time zone that everyone uses and then offsets by. So the game would start at 17:00 or 5:00PM UTC, not 13:00.

No. It is a time zone just like EDT and PDT. It doesn't change due to daylight savings or anything else. It's just used as a standard time zone. You can express it with AM/PM or a 24 hour system, it doesn't matter. Edit: You should change the time on the site to say 17:00 UTC Otherwise it's like saying get me 2 water without specifying if you wanted cups, liters, etc.

Blockexplorer updated. How can you tell who was first btw? Since the block has like 10-15 min wait for confirming.

Doesn't that show when it was confirmed though, not when the person actually sent it?

I think the easiest way would be using the times when the transaction poped up in the BTC client to sort them.

I can't see who it's from in the client.

No way is going to be exact due to the way bitcoin works. I might be closer to him in the network (maybe even connected), so my transaction could appear before someone that made a transaction before me. That being said, the client would be the closest way, but blockexplorer offers an easy way for everyone to verify it.
