Hi there,

I'm curious as to what lock time means? Also you can see from my transaction as listed below, it has a lock time, and a mining block. However i'm not sure what this means, as its been unconfirmed for over a day.

Thanks in advance to any explanations
Lock time basically means that that is the first moment it could possibly be added into the blockchain.

It basically cannot be accepted by miners before that block is reached.

Which in your case is block 500114, that block has passed a long time ago, so your transaction should now be able to confirm.
