So what do our ancestors do once they get to block 500,000,000?

🤔

Ancestors?😜😆

Derp. 🤦‍♂️

Future generations**

I believe there is a known timestamp bug which will happen even earlier, sometime in the 2030s. They’ll just update the code though.

Bitcoin will run out of block numbers after block number 5101541 unless a hard fork is done to address the date bug. This is expected around year 2106

So like the Y2K of Bitcoin? We all know how it went in the year 2000 😁

sort of..its a 32 bit integer issue

Thanks for clarifying

this will be a problem in ~9,497 years

Does that mean it’s not worth thinking about?!

We must respond now!!

But also I dunno.
