Any time consensus within SAFEnet?

@dirvine mentioned that the Maidsafe preference is for things to be event driven.

Leap Seconds cause computer chaos: any implications for MaidSafe?

Best to avoid time altogether, its a man made daft invention to split seasons up fro farming and we took it too far. If non local events are time handled then errors happen. I prefer event driven and only use very local timers for events if at all but extremely local and very temporary. I suppose the moon is slowing more than us since its likely it that we are dragging with our waves trying to pull it down as it pulls our water up. And all the while we are accelerating away form the centre …

But if the network preserves the relationships between events, so long as some of those events have hard times associated with them, such as a blockchain, it should be relatively easy to calculate the actual time of each event.

Of course, what we are really talking about is PRIORITY. If the relationships between events are preserved, then what do we care about the specific time of things. All that we care about is being able to prove that “File A was posted prior to File B.”
