Sorry to hijack but can anyone help with spending a transaction from a time lock address???

I accidentally made the time lock 7140000 instead of 714000 and that means I have to wait 120 years to spend the coins. Please can anyone help?Huh
If you created the script correctly then there is no way to spend these coins and nobody can help. The Bitcoin protocol is solid and will not allow these coins to move until block #7140000
Otherwise the only chance you have is if you made a mistake (wrong locktime value, using a branch that could be skipped, etc.) in which case you can post your full redeem script (like the ones you see in this topic) containing the OP codes, the locktime value and your public key here for people to see if there is any chance.

The maximum timelock allowed in Bitcoin is 0xffff, about 455 days. So you can't make a timelock of 120 years.
