I find these facts interesting.
To see how are we able to delay a program burning computational resources. If we are assuming the internal of a computer as something separate, the fact is we are assessing the external time or the processor's clock outside of the internal.
The concept of crypto is similarly interesting, it locates the original data by the knowledge of the nature of computational resource (no single attacker has a comparable computational power with respect to what everyone is working on).
Comment. You may point out mistakes too.

Indeed, those are some thoughts.

That's not really a statement, that's more of a sentence fragment, but I would suggest using some sort of process sleep function for that. You can even choose the delay until it's time to do the work!

Separate from what?

Didn't Einstein talk about that?

What "original data" are you talking about? "Crypto" isn't a single thing (that's not true - "crypto" is a buzzword, and nothing else), and "crypto" certainly doesn't "locate" anything. The blockchain, for example, is pretty much a distributed database as far as I can tell. Things happen, these things are recorded, and everyone tells everyone else that these things happen. Once 50% or more of people believe that something happened, then it happened.

Anyway, I've got some 20% THC weed here that I paid about 30% in taxes for, so I'm going to get back to that. The taxes go to our school system, which is fantastic - kids get smarter while I get stupider.

Comment. You may get high too.

I am very well knowing that practice but trying to understand what is measuring time burning cpu

Separate from outer world, if computer is a world in itself (something like a virtual world). We are hacking the computer hardware from inside, by doing this in a way (the computer don't require instruction set for time).

The concept of blockchain is way more complex.

The concept of a blockchain is no more complex than the use of binary values, or the basic molecules of a DNA chain. It what you can do with these basic building blocks that can become complex.

As an aside, you seem to be assuming that all blockchains have to be based on proof of work which is usually proven by expending computing resources. Blockchains can also be based on proof of stake which is not dependent on expending computing resources.
