I see, thanks for the explanation :)

As Michael have pointed out above, I think it will be better to have a time sync
feature between client and oc server. It's ok for geeks to configure ntp
themselves, but that will make oc client not work out of box for non-geek users.

Or maybe have an alarm message popup when clients detects that they are out of
sync with OC server? Then users can adjust their system time accordingly.
