Can't peer with nodes

Describe the issue

pivx-qt can't connect to other nodes. I tried with pivxd to get more informations and it shows:

asking peer for sporks
timeOffset (75 seconds) too large. Disconnecting node <node ip>

for every nodes it tries to connect to. My machine is set to the correct time in the UTC timezone.

Can you reliably reproduce the issue?

Yes, everytime I launche either pivx-qt or pivxd.

What version of PIVX Core are you using?

PIVX 5.3.3 from GitHub releases.

Machine specs:

  • OS: Linux 5.14.0-2-amd64 Debian 5.14.9-2 (2021-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • Disk size: more than 100 GB available
  • Disk Type (HD/SDD): SSD

Time setting needs to be accurate to within 15 secs I believe. So, the error message makes sense.

It is common for Windows OS to not be able to tell time accurately, but I have not seen this with a Linux OS. Is it possible you have the toggle for 'Network time' turned off and set to 'Manual' time?

My NTP service was disabled, I was a few seconds behind. I enabled it and now it works fine.
Thanks!
