Bitcoin’s “address” is a bit of a false reputation. It would be better to call something along the line “Invoice Identifier”. Whenever you want to pay another party, we will generate a new address and tell you how to pay. When a transaction pays to an output script belonging to an address, you will see that the corresponding party has paid you. The payments will then be displayed in the (Receive) tab, and the wallet will track the new transaction output that the wallet can spend on future transactions.

Transactional output cannot be partially used. It can only be used entirely. If you want to make a payment, but only have a larger amount of transaction output, the wallet will create a transaction with one input and two outputs. One output to pay the recipient and another output to return to yourself from the transaction output using the remaining funds. This second transaction output is called a Change the output.

Alice has one transaction output equivalent to 1 BTC and I want to send BOB 0.1 BTC.

    Inputs             Outputs
 ----------------------------------
                     Bob 0.1 BTC
  Alice 1 BTC   ↦ 
                     Alice 0.9 BTC ⇐ Change output

The change output is sent directly from the wallet to a new output script generated by the wallet. Because they did not “claim” other parties, the wallet will not surface the “invoice identifier” on the tabs they received. However, the change output is part of the wallet’s funds, contributing to the balance. Like other funds, change output can be used to spend on your wallet. After contributing to balance, the change output will be displayed on an advanced screen such as: Joint trolls A window for manually funding. As far as I know, all actions are working as intended. There is no need to move funds from the change output to the new address.

Crypto Analyst Cuntonese Cat (@cantonmeow) describes the weekly Dogecoin/USD chart as technical beauty, as multiple metrics lined up at once. The latest chart shared by X stands out for several key features, including long-term diagonal trendlines, simple moving averages (SMA) convergence for 100 and 200 weeks, and a notable, rapid cloud setup. “I’ve never seen anything more beautiful in a while,” the analyst points out.

Why Dogecoin looks “beautiful” and powerful

The dominant downward diagonal trend line drawn from the peak of approximately $0.70 from the Dogecoin’s historic 2021 peak sets the tone of the chart’s structure. Since Dogecoin’s meteor rise and subsequent decline in 2021, weekly candles have consistently reacted to this diagonal, which served as a barrier to bullish progress and sometimes as a place for price consolidation.

Last November, Doge surpassed the trend line. However, over the past four weeks, Dogecoin has once again drifted downwards, close to the line defining this trend. Dogecoin’s current revisit to the trendline represents a retest of a previous breakout. Successful defense at this level confirms retest, a scenario considered very bullish from a testing standpoint.

Another focus is the relationship between the 100-week simple moving average (SMA) and the 200-week SMA. The chart shared by Cantonese Cats shows 100-week SMAs in blue and 200-week SMAs in black. The 100-week SMA is currently hovering at $0.1456, while the 200-week SMA is $0.1412.

In particular, the recent crossing of 100-week SMAs on 200-week SMAs has formed a bullish “golden cross” that is generally interpreted as a strong positive signal of price momentum from a technical analysis perspective.

The chart also incorporates a one-joint cloud, further enhancing convergence. A weekly one-sided setup (using parameters 9, 26, 52, 26) shows the weekly convergence with SMA at around $0.14. Now, Dogecoin’s prices are nearing its cloud cap and remained above its cloud limit.

If the price keeps close to above the cloud, it strengthens the case for bullish continuance. In particular, the future outlook for the cloud is also bullish. If the buyer maintains a conviction, a span (projection forward) of around $0.24 to $0.28 suggests around $0.24 to $0.28.

Cantonese cats call this fork “beautiful” because of the overlapping importance of these four indicators. If DogeCoin exceeds $0.145 above its key support level due to consecutive weekly closures, the chances of a sustained upward trend could rise considerably.

At the time of pressing, Doge traded for $0.17417.

Please note that I am still taking a hiatus from blogging; I only wrote this blogpost because it was the most convenient way to share a lot of detailed information, in a way people can easily refer back to. Don’t get me wrong, Primfeed is great, but stuff tends to disappear from people’s feeds very quickly, whereas a blog is more permanent! Thanks.

Have you read my first review of the LAQ Era2 SupremeUHD heads? The Elle Era2 Head from LAQ Was the Excuse I Needed to Upgrade My Avatar (please note this review was written in June 2024, before Mallory Cowen’s time-limited giveaway of free SupremeUHD heads/HUDs).

UPDATED March 18th, 2025: There is a brand new version of the Kalhene Erika freebie mesh body, called Erika Zero X2 (version 3), and the package now includes three body skins for it (pearl, medium, and tan). I have added these free body skins to the list of skins which are a close match to LAQ skin tones, at the very bottom of this blogpost.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, the big news among freebie fashionistas in Second Life is that Mallory Cowen, the proprietor of LAQ, has decided, for a limited time, to give away her Erea2 SupremeUHD heads and associated HUDs for free. We do not know long Mallory intends to do this, but we can probably assume that it will be at least until the end of the Dove’s Dream shopping event, which ends April 10th, 2025.

At the time of this writing, there are three locations where you can pick up these free heads (the male James Era2 SupremeUHD head/HUD and the female Elle SupremeUHD head/HUD):

If you have been on the ball, you should have picked up no less than nine free or inexpensive female SupremeUHD skin fatpacks (i.e. all skin tones) for that free LAQ Elle SupremeUHD head which so many of you have been getting over these past few weeks:

1. the Elle skin that came with the head;

2. the Sophia skin that you get when you slap the in-store subscription sign to join the LAQ subscriber list;

3. the Emma skin (from the gift wall in the LAQ store);

4. the Eirali skin (from the gift wall);

5. the Iman skin (from the gift wall);

6. the Juliette skin (a Valentine’s Day gift, from the gift wall);

7. the Karin skin (from the LAQ booth at the Skin Fair, on now);

8. the Angelica skin (from the LAQ booth at the Dove’s Dream event, on now);

and…9. if you were on the ball, on March 12th and 13th, you snapped up the Tamara skin at the LAQ store (which was not free, but it cost only L$9 if you joined the LAQ Updates group for free; if you missed it, it’s too late now, it’s gone back to full price!). Mallory Cowen has replaced that offer with the new Stine skin, which is only L$90 this weekend if you join the LAQ Updates group—see the picture below:

Now, of course, the best match for those LAQ skin tones is body skin you purchase from the LAQ store itself (see picture 4; cost is L$300 per skin tone per mesh body brand). If you can afford to support LAQ and Mallory Cowen’s hard work (not to mention her generosity in giving away free heads and HUDs!), then you should by all means do so.

However, if you are short on Linden dollars, in this blogpost I will tell you about six different options for finding free body skin that comes pretty close to matching (if not an exact match) each of the LAQ skin tones in the fatpacks! Remember, all LAQ head skins have a built-in neck fade, which means the head and body skins do not have to be a 100% match.

First, I am going to tell you about each of the six places where you can pick up free body skin. Then, I am going to provide you with a list of which of these free body skins are a close or perfect match to each of the LAQ skin tones! As a convenience, I will also include the closest Velour Venus skin tone, which is not free, but which many people already own in at least a few skin tones.

All pictures from this point on will show you what I believe to be the best match among all the free skin options for each LAQ skin tone, using the bargain Tamara skin I picked up this week (all LAQ heads use the same skin tones, though),

Free Body Skin Option 1: Senra Jamie

The easiest option is skin which is already in your inventory—the Senra Jamie skin, which comes in six skin tones!

Free Body Skin Option 2: Nuve

Nuve offers free female body skin in 30 skin tones (human and fantasy colours) here (no group needed). This is an older version 2.0 of their body skin, but still perfectly serviceable!

Free Body Skin Option 3: Amara Beauty

Amara Beauty offers free female body skin and add-ons here (no group needed). Please note that this appears to be a temporary store location, so it might change.

Free Body Skin Option 4: Leronso

Leronso offers free body skin here (free group join). This is an older, but still perfectly serviceable, body skin, in a variety of skin tones, including some beautiful darker skin tones.

Free Body Skin Option 5: Boataom

Boataom offers an older, but still perfectly serviceable, version of their body skin for six different brands of mesh bodies here (look high up on the wall for the Group Gift sign; free group join).

Free Body Skin Option 6: LOGO Body Skins

If you picked the recent free gifts from LOGO of the Christina female head (in January 2025), or the Noelle female head (in December 2023), free body skin in 6 skin tones is included in those packages (and probably also in previous LOGO gifts, but I haven’t checked them all; be sure to get redeliveries of the older gifts, as many older heads have been upgraded to support EvoX!).

NEW March 18th, 2025! Erika Zero X2 Body Skins

I just learned there’s a brand-new update to the free Kalhene Erika Zero X mesh body, available at the N-Core/Kalhene store (exact SLURL; requires a free group join). The Erika Zero X2 (Version 3) now includes three body skins (pearl, medium, and tan), and I have included these skins in the list of matching body skins for each LAQ head skin tone, below. (Note that older versions of this freebie body had just two skin tones: medium and tan.)

Remember: the exact match for these LAQ head skin tones is body skin you purchase from the LAQ store itself (cost is L$300 per skin tone per mesh body brand).
