OpenTimeStamp-client v0.7.1 (Released: 26th August 2022) - https://github.com/opentimestamps/opentimestamps-client/releases

if you sign your commits, you should also consider timestamping your commits. I use OpenTimestamps for this. Docs and some rationale here: https://github.com/opentimestamps/opentimestamps-client/blob...

from the doc:

> My signing keys (e.g. blog or Qubes code signing keys) do not have expiration dates. This is not laziness. There is a fundamental problem with using an expiration date on keys used for code signing (e.g. git tag -s), because it is unclear what the outcome should be when one verifies some old code (written and signed when the key was still valid) in the future when the key has already expired?

> Naturally we would like the old code, written and signed when the key was still valid, to continue to verify fine also in the future, after the key expires (and the developer passed away, perhaps). However, it is very problematic to prevent the attacker from creating falsified code pretending to be an old one.

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.
