Um, no.

This script traces back an address, to find where a specific transaction originated (in this case someone was branching off 0.04 every time and who wrote it wanted to figure out where that originated).

What you linked just gives the first seen date for a specific address (aka the first transaction).

Entirely different things.

ohhhh I mis-read what it does. Embarrassed

Cool!

Posting this for a friend... he does not have sufficient posts to post in here yet.

It basically searches back through the blockchain (using Block Explorer) to find the earliest trace of an address (by following the first address link on every page).
