pub fn time_is_valid_at(
header: &Header,
now: DateTime<Utc>,
height: &Height,
hash: &Hash,
) -> Result<(), BlockTimeError>
Expand description
Returns Ok(())
if header.time
is less than or equal to
2 hours in the future, according to the node’s local clock (now
).
This is a non-deterministic rule, as clocks vary over time, and between different nodes.
“In addition, a full validator MUST NOT accept blocks with nTime more than two hours in the future according to its clock. This is not strictly a consensus rule because it is nondeterministic, and clock time varies between nodes. Also note that a block that is rejected by this rule at a given point in time may later be accepted.” §7.5
If the header time is invalid, returns an error containing height
and hash
.
