Many people have heard that the Timechain is immutable. 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.

off-chain transactions:: off-chain transactions::
An off-chain transaction is the movement of value outside of the block chain. 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. An off-chain transaction is the movement of value outside of the block chain. 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.
