Tales from Bitcointalk - Someone Replied to me With My Own Article #4

When scrolling through the Technical Support Board on Bitcointalk, I noticed someone asking a question about time-locked transactions. Given the fact that I've had quite some experience with time-locked transactions, I decided to add a reply. Because I had asked almost the same question once before on the forum, I just pointed OP towards my old thread.

In that thread, someone had given me step-by-step instructions on how to create a timelocked transaction with Coinbin. I've also used that thread as a source for a Steemit article that I wrote, explaining the whole process in more detail with screenshots.

Now, right after I had responded to OP, someone else replied to me saying he had found a great guide that explains how these timelocks work. The link he shared was to my own article I had written on Steemit. I think that I couldn't wish for a better compliment, to be honest. It's pretty amazing that this random person just happened to find my article and used it to reply to the author of that article (me). I'll share the whole conversation in chronological order below.

I'm looking for information on time-locked transactions for bitcoin. How is this transaction created exactly? Does this transaction remain off-chain between the sender and the receiver until the time has elapsed? Does this transaction remain on the mempool until that time? -- Bitcointalk User bomberb17

I've also asked a similar question before on this forum and got a really amazing reply.

I know you're probably looking for a more in-depth technical answer, but just sharing this in case anyone else is interested in creating a time-locked transaction. -- @daan aka Eternalgloom

The whole situation was just a little bit funny to me, so I thought I'd share it here. I've checked out if my articles come up on Google when searching for timelock-related keywords and I'm on the first and second page for some of them. Too bad you don't earn any rewards on older posts, some of mine are doing pretty good I'd say.
