As a newbie, I was a little confused (ot unusual) until I did some web searches and found examples of "off Blockchain transactions." I'm not associated with Opendimes in any way other than as a customer. --- glossary.asciidoc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/glossary.asciidoc b/glossary.asciidoc index b49611f7..0fdac00c 100644 --- a/glossary.asciidoc +++ b/glossary.asciidoc @@ -132,7 +132,7 @@ nonce:: The "nonce" in a bitcoin block is a 32-bit (4-byte) field whose value is set so that the hash of the block will contain a run of leading zeros.

While an on-chain transaction—usually referred to as simply __a transaction__—modifies the blockchain and depends on the blockchain to determine its validity an off-chain transaction relies on other methods to record and validate the transaction. A simple example would be a swap of two Opendimes having the same value, but being recorded on the blockchain in two separate blocks from two different time periods. opcode:: Operation codes from the Bitcoin Script language which push data or perform functions within a pubkey script or signature script.
