+# The following piece of code serves as an example of how to send a transaction created with any of the pieces of
+# code of the other examples to the P2P network. The code assumes you have access to a Bitcoin node with RPC
+# enabled. RPC authentication details have to be provided in the proper variables.
+#
+# Alternatively, you can also push the transaction to the network with a 3rd party service.
+#
+# Note that this code has an additional dependency: bitcoinrpc
+# This dependency is not required by bitcoin_tools, since it is only used in this example, and most users
+# will not need to use it.
