registered means I noted down that value.

Ah, ok.

While not impossible it is highly improbable that the block height of that transaction change by such a degree. A much more likely scenario is that the original number was erroneous.

OMG !!! Does it happen in Bitcoin protocol ? The block height can change !!! OOOPS.

Neways, can u plz tell me why this is happening ?

I was checking this : http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockhash/273824 ...It used to return a proper block hash a few days ago. Now it says the following. Why so ?

Code:
ERROR: unknown (Most likely my bitcoind stopped working or this page is too large/complex.)

Probably a bug in in blockexplorer
blockchain info endpoint is just fine
