<t​bcode:matrix.org> This is perfect! pluged it into chatgpt and gave me the code translation for Kotlin! Thanks a million 🙌

<d​etherminal:matrix.org> You're welcome! Consider starring the GitHub repo so everyone can benefit from it 😄

<t​bcode:matrix.org> Yea I'll keep testing the kotlin on my end

Hi, over on #monero someone mentioned to me that "Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 3074797 -> 3419079 [Your node is 344282 blocks (1.3 years) behind]" messages can be ignored because there seems to be a fork out there with less PoW but more blocks that's causing spam to appear in the logs. However this got me thinking that if that's true, then the "1.3 years" message is misleading. I don't know how monero comes up

with this figure, but if it's on a chain with less PoW then the time that's represented on that chain can be safely ignored

it is only safe to tell the "2 minutes per block" time on the chain with the most PoW. The other chain, having less PoW, cannot tell time at all, so the message is misleading

It's an estimate, based off the block time target. A chain with less PoW and an extra 1.3 years' worth of blocks is likely either fake or someone's found a nice way to diddle with the difficulty adjustment algorithm.

Probably the former.

If your request is just "remove this message because a fake chain can claim any random time", then feel free to either fix or file a bug on github asking for it.
