Title: Out of order blocks? Post by: Stevets on January 25, 2014, 07:38:35 PM Why do I sometimes see the age of older blocks being reported as newer than more recent blocks on blockchain.info?
For example blockchain.info shows that block 282438 is 25 minutes old and block 282437 is 18 minutes old. Wouldn't the higher numbered blocks always have a lesser number for age?

Quote A timestamp is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours. Title: Re: Out of order blocks? Post by: Sonny on January 29, 2014, 02:58:13 AM https://blockchain.info/block-index/463085
Block #282437 Timestamp 2014-01-25 19:08:01 Received Time 2014-01-25 18:38:23 https://blockchain.info/block-index/463086 Block #282438 Timestamp 2014-01-25 19:00:59 Received Time 2014-01-25 19:01:06 So, the order is right. The site receive Block #282438 23 minutes after receiving Block #282437. |
