Battery defect (hardware clock gets reset after poweroff), hardware clock defect, clock is obviously wrong at boot and the wrist/mobile watch is also only about +/- 5 minutes accurate, usage in live cd's or virtual machines, if one does not trust the operating systems unencrypted NTP. There are many reasons, hopefully it's not required to agree on valid reasons to get an answer. Right now most people use the unencrypted NTP and it's accuracy seams to fit for Tor. I searched a lot but found only the information "correct clock is important for Tor". But the question remains... How accurate does the clock have to be for Tor's correct operation? _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
