A power of 2 would be far more efficient here. The key question is how long of a relative block time do you need? Figure out what the maximum should be ( I don't know what that would be, any ideas?) and then see how many bits you have left over.

No, I don't think anybody thought about this. I just explained this to

He suggested 600 increments so that it is more similar to timestamps.
