Feature request: Show date/time on transactions.
The problem with this is transactions don't have a time associated with them when sent. So there are two options:
- Record the time my client receives the transaction (which would mean no times for old transactions)
- Use the timestamp from the block the transaction was included in (no times for unconfirmed transactions)
Which do you think would be best?
Just put the timestamp from the block. That makes more sense because we would get transaction times for all the transactions. Also, a transaction isn't really verified until it has been included in a block.
Maybe just make a note about the time being that of the block instead of the transaction itself.
Actually, with a well-connected node, the time that the transaction came in would be the most accurate and important, so you should show that anyway. Perhaps an additional field? And while we're at it, do the same for blocks. It'd be great to be able to see what the differences are in the timestamps as we are designing defenses to timejacking.
This isn't an either/or situation. It's merely adding more precision to the timestamps which will allow us to have much better data to work with in the future. You show unconfirmed transactions already, so I suspect that adding a timestamp will be trivial.
