I was checking a vendors profile and it said online about 20 minutes ago and I refreshed later and later and it was the same. Then it jumped to an hour and barely half an hour later it said about 3 hours? it just jumped like a whole hour.
opsec should be #1 priority, and good opsec includes trying to have good opsec for all those around you including your market's users. WE NEED TO BAN AUTO-ENCRYPT.
The last online feature for obvious reasons is not accurate.
Like /u/Med3l1n already wrote it is designed in Steps to not make the Vendors online Time traceable.
Its designed to be a reference for buyers to estimate the last time The vendor was online.
I figured it was made with steps from observing and I understand opsec in mind, but it seems as though the vendor was only off for 2 hours if that and it registered 3 hrs. There's a difference in opsec and it incorrectly calculating. But maybe its working right and it's just weird when viewed and I checked it at poor timings.
