Title: Transaction from the future? Post by: R2D221 on February 03, 2014, 06:51:26 AM I was looking at some transactions in my address, and found this:
https://blockchain.info/es/tx/cf77c2b888916c0debfb801d3d129ba5b7f6445e0dd6db9238b313b51369024c (https://blockchain.info/es/tx/cf77c2b888916c0debfb801d3d129ba5b7f6445e0dd6db9238b313b51369024c) Just look at the date of the transaction: 2063-08-04 05:00:33 Why is it in the future? Is this some sort of Y2K-like bug? Is it just in blockchain.info? As far as I remember, I already have that money (but it was from those “free BTC” sites, so I wouldn't mind if it was invalid).

Title: Re: Transaction from the future? Post by: R2D221 on February 03, 2014, 07:29:47 AM I'm still interested on why this happened. This transaction is old, and when I first checked it on blockchain.info, it showed the correct date then.
Title: Re: Transaction from the future? Post by: maaku on February 03, 2014, 09:32:07 AM Well, talk to the people who run that site. Transactions do not have times associated with them, so they are simply guessing in some way. Obviously there is an error in the algorithm, the implementation of it, or the data made available to it, but what that error is we have no way of knowing.
