Title: Well THAT'S interesting... Post by: SgtSpike on May 16, 2012, 07:46:13 AM First time I've seen a later block with an earlier timestamp... will the recent block with earlier timestamp eventually be orphaned? Or is it within the timeframe of legitimacy?

Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on May 16, 2012, 07:55:47 AM It's definitely legitimate and I'm sure it happened many times already. The timestamp needs to be at least the median timestamp of the last 11 blocks.
You should consider making the thread title more descriptive. Title: Re: Well THAT'S interesting... Post by: SgtSpike on May 16, 2012, 04:14:49 PM So the timestamp has to be after the timestamp of at least 6/11 of the prior blocks? That's quite the time stamp swing...!
I like my title. ;) Title: Re: Well THAT'S interesting... Post by: westkybitcoins on May 17, 2012, 06:48:23 AM It's actually not that rare an occurrence. I seem to recall a thread discussing it several months ago, after which it didn't take long before I noticed it once or twice.
