Comments order bug based on timestamps of each other's PC, maybe?

Open leftside2 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I notice a strange phenomenon today while commenting on the post in ZeroMe.

Another guy makes a comment just now, and I read it and make a next comment following him, but my comment popped up under his comment. I deleted mine, and made another again, but it still goes under his one. I thought he hacked something or what, but I decided to wait 10 seconds and made another one only to fail. At last I could see my new comment above his one after around 40 to 50 seconds.

What was happened?

Since there is no central computer involved in ZeroNet the timestamp is added by the sender's computer. So if yours or the sender's computer time is out of sync, then it could break the order.
