About "transaction input or output" #93
Description
At this page:
https://github.com/youngmtool/ProgrammingBlockchain/blob/master/bitcoin_transfer/spend_your_coin.md
At this sentence:
If you want to send 0.5 BTC from a transaction input with 1 BTC you actually have to spend it all!
Should the above sentence be replaced with this sentence?:
If you want to send 0.5 BTC from an output of the different transaction which holds 1 BTC, you actually have to spend it all!

How about this one:
If you want to send 0.5 BTC from an unspent output, which holds 1 BTC, you actually have to spend it all!

ACK @nopara73

Adding "unspent" makes more clear but don't you think "of the different" next to "output" in the right side makes the meaning also clear?

@youngmtool
It's confusing for me. Honestly I don't really understand what you mean by different transaction. Is what you mean is: "you must spend an utxo of a transaction, that's not the one you are building right now."?

Yes, with thinking again, I so far assumed the transaction we're making is already included in the transaction of the block which will be created.
So my intention was to distinguish the transaction which will be included in a new block and transaction for UTXO.
At the moment when we're writing a transaction, there is no transaction in a block yet.
Thanks for answer.
Changed wording according to issue ProgrammingBlockchain#93

I changed the wording to the one recommended by @nopara73 in my recent PR #104, so if it gets accepted this issue can be closed.

@andrasfuchs Okay. Thanks for informing me.
