Thanks very much for these links; I had assumed that NIST would be doing something like this.

However, while these "clocks" are very interesting, how can I easily transform these values into GMT times & vice versa?

Also, I'm fairly confident that the bitcoin blockchain can't be hacked, because that would take an extremely well-heeled adversary, but I have no such confidence in the NIST values.
