 === Bitcoin Addresses and Transactions in This Book

+((("bitcoin", "basics", "warning: do not use addresses appearing in this book")))((("warnings and cautions", "use of addresses appearing in this book")))The bitcoin addresses, transactions, keys, QR codes, and blockchain data used in this book are, for the most part, real. That means you can browse the blockchain, look at the transactions offered as examples, retrieve them with your own scripts or programs, etc.

 However, please note that the private keys used to construct addresses are either printed in this book, or have been "burned." That means that if you send money to any of these addresses, the money will either be lost forever, or in some cases everyone who can read the book can take it using the private keys printed in here.
