Daniel, Pavel:

Thanks for the feedback. Is tlsdate a better alternative (https://github.com/ioerror/tlsdate/)? The only caveat if using tlsdate (or any sort of time mechanism that relies on a "well-known" server) is that an Internet connection is necessary. It isn't obvious to me whether this is acceptable or not. Can someone chime in?

Thanks
