Mind you that Google smeared the leap second. Not sure if the others do, but I think is important to recognize when selecting an NTP.

- zokier 4y agoAs long as they do not start smearing leap days I don't think it matters much for bootstrapping. You only need time accurate enough for validating certs, after that you can use whatever pool you want.
