Recently, a number of peers originating for a small group (4-5) of ip network ids ( x1.x2.x3. ) have been connecting with very large negative values in their ‘time offsets’, most in the range of over 100000s to 3000000s. They don’t appear to be contributing in any way to the bitcoin network one way or the other, but I’d still like to understand what they are up to.
