OH shit, you're right. Thanks a lot!

But obviously, this will not give to me the current block information, only the PREVIOUS block information. How can I know the Hash of the block that I'm analyzing?
blockhash is not stored in blockbecause it can be calculated
SHA256 ( SHA256 ( blockheader ) )

but if you are parsing existing blocks you can skip almost all checks
bitcoin core client did them already
you should only skip non-mainchain blocks from blk***.dat files
Sorry if I didn't express myself properly; what I'm trying to figure out is if the data posted corresponds 100% to a certain block. I thought that it would be as easy as writing the block hash @ blockchain.info:but if you are parsing existing blocks you can skip almost all checks
bitcoin core client did them already
you should only skip non-mainchain blocks from blk***.dat files

Hi there guys!, I'm writing another Blockchain parser in C.
Atm I have completely read all blocks (~130mb each one) and the program is outputting information that seems to be ok, however, how could I check out if this information is ACTUALLY ok?; take a look at this output for example:
As this being a chain, everything references to the previous thing, so, how could I check that THIS block is ok?, where is the hash of the current block?, I need to mine it?, if I mine it I will not find the same hash that is in the main blockchain; so WTF?, I'm missing something isn'it?
Thanks a lot.

As this being a chain, everything references to the previous thing, so, how could I check that THIS block is ok?, where is the hash of the current block?, I need to mine it?, if I mine it I will not find the same hash that is in the main blockchain; so WTF?, I'm missing something isn'it?
Thanks a lot.
