NLockTime

This page is a stub. Help by expanding it.

nLockTime is a parameter of a transaction, that, if any input indicates so (by having nSequence not equal to UINT_MAX), mandates a minimal time (specified in either unix time or block height), that before this time, the transaction cannot be accepted into a block. If all inputs have nSequence equal to UINT_MAX, then nLockTime is ignored.

See lock_time in the protocol specification
