This is where the basic algorithm of Lamport timestamp would fall short as its only meant to order causally related events.</p> <p>The status client therefore makes a “bid”, speculating that it will beat the current chat-timestamp, s.t. the status clients Lamport timestamp format is: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock = </code>max({timestamp}, chat_clock + 1)`</p> <p>This will satisfy the Lamport requirement, namely: a -&gt; b then T(a) &lt; T(b)</p> <p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">timestamp</code> MUST be Unix time calculated, when the node creates the message, in milliseconds. This field SHOULD not be relied upon for message ordering.</p> <p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> SHOULD be calculated using the algorithm of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_timestamps">Lamport timestamps</a>. When there are messages available in a chat, the node calculates <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code>s value based on the last received message in a particular chat: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">max(timeNowInMs, last-message-clock-value + 1)</code>. If there are no messages, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> is initialized with <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">timestamp</code>s value.</p> <p>Messages with a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> greater than <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">120</code> seconds over the Whisper/Waku timestamp SHOULD be discarded, in order to avoid malicious users to increase the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> of a chat arbitrarily.</p> <p>Messages with a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> less than <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">120</code> seconds under the Whisper/Waku timestamp might indicate an attempt to insert messages in the chat history which is not distinguishable from a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">datasync</code> layer re-transit event. A client MAY mark this messages with a warning to the user, or discard them.</p> <p>The node uses <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> value for the message ordering. The algorithm used, and the distributed nature of the system produces casual ordering, which might produce counter-intuitive results in some edge cases. For example, when a user joins a public chat and sends a message before receiving the exist messages, their message <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">clock</code> value might be lower and the message will end up in the past when the historical messages are fetched.</p> <h4 id="chats"> <a href="#chats" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="chats"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Chats </h4> <p>Chat is a structure that helps organize messages.
