I'm trying to arrive at the function that describes the following, but can't quite figure it out for multiple blocks. (there are some useful insights for a single block here.)

assume the Poisson point process that is the arrival of proof-of-work blocks on Monero. the mean of the block times is the target block time t (120 seconds).

also assume n subsequent blocks.

also assume p, the probability of n subsequent blocks having a mean block time less than or equal to T.

given t, n and p, how can I calculate T?

Town currently still blocks Tor exit nodes (because it is getting ddosed by them) and rucknium understandably doesn't want to connect without it.

got it. they managed to post it anyway.

does having a hidden service introduce the same issues?
