How a send actually travels

You build a message, you sign it, it waits in a , a page may pick it, and waiting is how a lie gets expensive. A , a fee, a failed send that still costs, a stuck send, a wrong chain. We will not broadcast for you. Look. Do not buy. Not a broker.

A dotted mark is a word. Tap it if the meaning is new.

Lessons are on. The check adds one extra scenario. Tap a dotted mark for a definition. Want the floor’s language and a harder check? How you sit is in Settings.

  • A send is a signed message — not a bank transfer with an undo
  • The mempool is a waiting room; a fee is a bid to leave it
  • A failed Ethereum send can still cost gas; a wrong-chain send is often the pile

You build a message, then you sign it

A live send is not a button that “moves coins.” It is a message: from these coins (or this account), pay that address, pay this fee, here is a or a chosen coin, here is the signature. The network checks the signature against the lock. If it matches and the coins are unspent, the message may sit in a page.

We’ll open this slide when you come back. This device remembers it.

Bitcoin’s usual picture is UTXO: leftover coins from earlier payments, like change on a counter. You pick which leftovers to spend. Ethereum’s usual picture is an account with a balance and a . Two notebooks. Two ways to get a typo wrong. Neither has a recall button on the chain.

A classroom paper at skips this whole machine. That is on purpose so the lesson on the desk can stay about size. A live network will not skip it.

We will not build, sign, or broadcast a send for you. There is no connect . If a page asks you to “simulate a classroom send” with a seed, it is not us. Close it.

LOOK DON'T BUY

Real World Markets is a classroom. We only teach — stocks, crypto, and how markets work. You can look at delayed last. You cannot buy here. We do not take orders or hold money. Not a broker. Not a CASP. Lessons are free.

Delayed public last when the feed is up — a number to look at, never a ticket. Paper results are hypothetical and have no cash value. Not a broker-dealer. Not a CASP or money transmitter. You cannot buy here.

Passing a quiz is not a qualification or a license. The Professor will not tell you what to buy. Company names and tickers belong to their owners. We draw letter marks, not official logos. Not affiliated with Apple, Nasdaq, S&P, Yahoo, CoinGecko, or CoinMarketCap.

This classroom does not give financial advice. We do not tell you what to buy, sell, or hold. A lesson, delayed last, a paper fill, a quiz, Professor Moon, and a quote on the tree are teaching — not a recommendation, not a personalized plan, and not a reason to place a live order. We only teach. Educational classroom only. Not a seller. Not a market we operate. Not investment advice, not legal advice, not an offer to buy or sell, not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, CTA, or CIRO/CSA registrant. Not a CASP, VASP, MSB, money transmitter, or gambling operator. We do not custody, exchange, or transmit crypto-assets. We do not file a license for you. Not registered with the U.S. SEC, FINRA, CFTC, NFA, FinCEN, Canada’s CSA/CIRO, or Mexico’s CNBV. Last may be a delayed public print when the feed is up, or a teaching path if it is not — never a reason to trade. Options premiums and NFT floors are teaching numbers. Paper results are hypothetical and have no cash value. World Circuit is a paper board game, not gambling and not a live market. Past or simulated performance is not indicative of future results. CFTC Rule 4.41. Third-party names stay with their owners. Letter marks, not official logos.
