Yeah. It simply lagged. I was never worried as soon as I saw it on another Block explorer, but still one wonders what goes on behind the scenes and can you really trust what you see on a website claiming to reflect the state of the blockchain.

I guess it stresses the importance of "being able to run your own node" as the basic building block of a decentralised system.

The website and the blockchain are entirely different fields.

There must be something with blockexplorer which blockchain.info doesn't have.
Maybe the script or something to do with the number of connections.
Or they take a snapshot of the blockchain then update the website database twice/once a day.
But check your balance there now, it was updated.

Last time, I saw someone posted something about this, there was a reply saying that blockchain.info's block explorer is really a bit delay.

I have noticed this before and it looks like Blockchain.info is a bit slower than Blockexplorer.com. I have done several tx's

before and monitored it with both explorers and time and time again, I see the same thing happening. Blockchain.info is just

not as fast as Blockexplorer.com {Only problem I have with Blockexplorer.com is that it hangs, if you leave a tab open on

different browsers}  Huh
