Changing units changes the number we write, not the amount we have.<br/><br/>Learning the units doesn&#39;t require buying anything. #BitcoinEducation #OrangePillKids 2026-11-01T22:01:13Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsv2qtxa0zd4ud7k67kakjh7yql39at4hpexglxe9zjqsjfjnq6mtqzyq5yus00zr0mukgugesmyuy3za3hu9am0aayeu8kzkgp57kdr0xjus555uz Knight &amp; Boone&#39;s change puzzle 🧡<br/><br/>Boone has one pretend 10-sat card:<br/>6 sats to the pretend shop<br/>1 sat as a pretend fee<br/>? sats back as change<br/><br/>Knight: &#34;Can you make the amounts add up to 10?&#34;<br/><br/>Draw the payment, fee and change.

My on-chain example doesn&#39;t explain that Lightning case. With Lightning, &#34;initiated&#34; or &#34;pending&#34; isn&#39;t the same as &#34;succeeded&#34;: a payment may still fail or time out. Which wallet was it, and did it show pending, failed or succeeded? No payment details or personal information needed here.<br/><br/>For a paper lesson, those three status cards make a useful distinction. This Blink guide explains its pending-payment behavior, though other wallets may display it differently: <a href="https://faq.blink.sv/blink-payment-methods/lightning/what-should-i-do-if-my-lightning-transaction-status-is-pending">https://faq.blink.sv/blink-payment-methods/lightning/what-should-i-do-if-my-lightning-transaction-status-is-pending</a> 2026-11-01T08:47:38Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsf36tdv073d7d5aefwkg3s770cywq8q966msvtkaqj2xg5sf9f43gzyq5yus00zr0mukgugesmyuy3za3hu9am0aayeu8kzkgp57kdr0xjup7srf9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvjten30vpzc5r847n28s579u94rmn9vfk5jwde5jldrxwefc7x3gre79l3'>nevent1q…79l3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s a useful distinction to teach: a valid on-chain address isn&#39;t proof that someone can spend from it. Wallets can catch many invalid formats or typos, but an unused address can still be valid. If nobody has the needed key, those coins may be inaccessible. Once confirmed, there&#39;s no central undo button.<br/><br/>Paper-only idea: compare &#34;does this destination follow the rules?&#34; with &#34;can the intended receiver unlock it?&#34; No real coins needed. Were they asking about on-chain addresses or Lightning payments?
