Complete release notes MiniBolt v1: https://github.com/twofaktor/minibolt/releases/tag/1.0

Get a non-custodial wallet: This is where you start to believe you really have Bitcoin, but it is still not perfect. A non-custodial wallet (like BlueWallet) is one of the slow types of Bitcoin wallets (on-chain) but this is where I think you, as a inquisitive mind, should start. Others will start with lightning wallets so they can buy beer right away. BlueWalllet has you create a "wallet" and gives you "seed words" to write down and keep safe. This is private. Do not take pictures of it, screenshots of it, and do not save it to a digital file. Paper is really easy and there's no risk of undiscovered malware being able to see what you write on paper. You'll very quickly learn the lingo: "wallet", "addresses", "utxo", etc. When you receive funds, the wallet will show you your balance like Coinbase does, but it will also show you a "transaction id". This, you can use to check that your transaction is real by checking a blockchain explorer like "https://mempool.space" or "https://bitcoinexplorer.org/". You are now able to check multiple sources, increasing your belief that the Bitcoin is real.

- Bitcoinexplorer.org https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer (lang: nodejs, db: none) I would like to prioritize practical issues such as displaying fees and general ease of use for viewing transaction details, these are the topics of discussion. I am looking forward to your opinions.

I'm not aware of a desktop explorer, but it probably wouldn't be as advanced as something like https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer

BitcoinExplorer — https://bitcoinexplorer.org/

It depends what you're running. Raspiblitz, for example, allows you to use btc rpc explorer (https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer) and mempool (https://github.com/mempool/mempool) quite easily.

BTC RPC Explorer v3.3.0 (Released: 7th December 2021) - https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer/releases
