Unexplained term in Blockchain Data -> Lesson 4: Blockchain Data -> 15. Create a Transaction: Step 3 #142

In the 'Explanation' section, it says "Let's also assume that our gas would cost us…", but this has previously been exclusively called a 'transaction fee'.

It might be helpful to put in a note here to say that 'gas' is another name for 'transaction fee'

You are right, actually gas isn't a term valid for Bitcoin, I fixed this.

Awesome—thanks so much for clearing that up. That's very helpful to know that!
