Satoshi to Hal Finney

Task

In the Overview panel, The From field has: Satoshi 2 sending 50 Bitcoins. And in the To field Hal received his Bitcoins and Satoshi 2 received some Bitcoins back.


How much "change" did Satoshi2 received in this transaction?


Key Insight:


  • Bitcoin addresses behave like "bills" or "checks."
  • When sending Bitcoin, the full amount in the address must be transferred, and the "change" is sent back to the sender.
  • At the beginning, Bitcoin addresses contained amounts in multiples of 50 BTC because they were obtained from mining rewards.
