Note how private key birthday is a potential privacy issue in certain cases.
Rare of course, because usually you don't release your private keys! But us=
ers
will on occasion have those keys be compromised.
Personally, I'd advocate rounding down to month-level resolution, as that
should be both enough to handle any likely reorg scenario, and it's still a
precision that won't add much extra scanning ot any reasonably old (~1yr)
wallet.
Note also how if transactions created with private keys in a seed use
nLockTime, you can ensure coins won't exist in a block older than the seed
birthday by simply ensuring that nLockTime is set to a more recent date then
that birthday under all circumstances.
