One of the most common but difficult-to-find issues is that the time in your OS is not accurate. For a distributed system like blockchain, having a correctly set time is important, as the synchronization algorithms rely on it. Even a small drift from the network time will cause your node to produce invalid blocks, preventing you from properly participating in the consensus.
Therefore, please, configure your system to use for automatic time synchronization. As long as you're using an OS with correctly implemented system clocks, the timezone you are using is irrelevant, and won't affect the correctness of the consensus. However, if you have issues (i.e. you're on Windows), you should set your system time zone to . You can use to tell if your system time is drifting from the commonly accepted time.
