Replace By Fee (RBF)
The sender in an unconfirmed transaction creates a new, higher fee transaction spending some of the same inputs as the transaction being replaced. Often the new transaction will be confirmed instead of the original transaction.
Child Pays for Parent (CPFP)
The recipient in an unconfirmed transaction spends their unconfirmed transaction output, increasing the effective fee of the original transaction. A miner can't confirm the new (child) transaction without also confirming the original (parent) transaction.

Am I alone in preferring mobile wallets that do one thing well? I would happily have at least 7 wallets
- Managing Lightning Channels
- Making Lightning Payments
- Receiving Lightning Payments
- Making Onchain Payments
- Generating invoices to cold storage
- Generating invoices to a hot wallet
- Receiving Silent Payments
Ideally you would run multiple bitcoin core nodes of differing versions and your wallet would connect to all and report discrepancies. Update to the latest release AND run tried and tested versions.

Bitcoin's testnet provides a risk-free environment for miners, developers, and users to experiment with Bitcoin software. Unlike the main Bitcoin network, where real value is at stake, the testnet has its own coins (tBTC) which hold no real-world value. This means anyone can test without the fear of financial loss.
To be useful for testing, users and developers need to be able to easily acquire testnet coins, this was no longer possible with the old testnet3 network. Coin issuance had almost completely dried up and the coins were starting to trade on secondary markets.
In response to these issues, a transition to a new testnet (testnet4) is underway. This new version promises a more stable and accessible environment for testing, with ample tBTC available via faucets.
