Added a new question on how transactions are paid for on the Ethereum Network.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transaction costs are paid for through the concept of 'Gas'. Gas is an abstract price structure applied to running individual operations on the Ethereum Network.

When you submit a transaction on a network, whether are transfering ETH to another account or invoking a contract, you need to provide an "Gas Limit" (the max amount of Gas you are willing to pay) and an additional amount of Ethereum to pay for the gas.

Maybe, "additional amount of Ether to pay for a unit of gas"?

Where do the contracts reside?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TODO
Contracts reside on the blockchain as executable code. These contracts are able to be called and executed by transactions on the network, as contracts get distributed to all full nodes.
