Hello, I noticed something.

You should normalize timestamps to UTC for universal comparability. Block #861068 which contained the first withdrawal tx 57a88f47e4c0...6e9ae7fc2f5f has a block timestamp of 2024-09-12T22:59:39Z (the suffix Z for Zulu means it's UTC). And one of my own nodes saw this block at precisely 2024-09-12T22:59:57Z ("Saw new header" announcement) and UpdateTip a second later.

Common blockchain explorers like mempool.space or bitcoinexplorer.org show block and transaction timestamps in your browser's local timezone per default (for bitcoinexplorer.org you can configure it to display in UTC which is nice), while blockchair.com displays it in UTC per default AFAIR.

If you draw conclusions based on wrong data (unknowingly?), you spread false and flawed assumptions. Sort of a disease in these internet times when too many people spread any BS unquestioned...

If you had read what I wrote carefully, I would have been happy.

"I guess"

Don't say you have this kind of disease. Smiley
