what's a Lock time: Block xxxx ?

[twister]

I see it on blockchain.info and I am wondering what it is.

Is it the recent block which was found when the transaction was made ? Or something else..?

PS: If you don't know what I am talking about, you can see it on all confirmed tx on blockchain.info just above "Included in Blocks".

Blocks are files where data pertaining to the Bitcoin network is permanently recorded. A block records some or all of the most recent Bitcoin transactions that have not yet entered any prior blocks. Thus a block is like a page of a ledger or record book.

The Bitcoin transaction lock time is the time at which a particular transaction can be added to the blockchain . This is the earliest time that miners can include the transaction in their hashing of the
Merkle root to attach it in the latest block to the blockchain.
Some research on google 'ld help you.
P.S. Guilelessly, this was an anamolous question from a hero rank member.
