One could claim that the first time zone with a substantial user base is the one to use so that nobody misses the deadline.
If we don't know where the person making the self-imposed deadline is, the most reasonable interpretation is to give them the benefit of the doubt for as long as possible, which entails assuming they are on the last place on earth where the deadline has not passed, IE the West Coast.
Lending weight to this standard is the fact that so many significant internet people and companies (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.) are based there.
Expecting someone in a crunch facing a deadline to game out their promise with parsing timezones is ridiculous.
Most people don't even think about picky stuff like that.
The best way to look at it is to account for the last place where it is possible that the deadline has not passed. Wait for the deadline to have passed everywhere before you start claiming it's been missed. Is that really so difficult?
Or are you just looking too hard to find reasons to attack CZ?
You are funny. Attack CZ? I said .....................
"Which means what? Not a thing. Because deadlines don't mean there literally meaning just as soon no longer does. That the "deadline" wasn't met means nothing no matter what time zone you are in. Just as long as there was communication which there was."
Anything else was just playing with you. You think having a the minority of people within the deadline time frame and the majority of people past the deadline is the most reasonable interpretation. I guess it makes sense from the perspective of the deadline but may I suggest that the perspective of the majority of the people is more meaningful.
Again people asked what's up and CZ quickly responded. We understand nothing runs as smoothly as we want. Nobody asked or complained after that.
Yes I'm active in XMR but I also own BBR. I have never said a negative thing, even before I held BBR.
