40,000 blocks? Hmm... Bitcoin's block timestamp protection rules: 1. Median Past Time (MPT) Rule - The timestamp must be further forwards than the median of the last eleven blocks. Which means at a minimum, the timestamp must move forwards by 1 second every 6 blocks 2. Future Block Time Rule - The timestamp cannot be more than 2 hours in the future 40,000/(6*60*60) is just under 2 hours. Therefore, 40,000 blocks can be instantly published and still be valid Looks like LukeJr's hardfork is set up for a maximum instamine! 🤡(Farside Insights)
