2.  sealed abstract class FeeUnit extends AnyRef

   This is meant to be an abstract type that represents different fee unit measurements for blockchains

   Weight is used to indicate how 'expensive' the transaction is on the blockchain.

   Weight is used to indicate how 'expensive' the transaction is on the blockchain. This use to be a simple calculation before segwit (BIP141). Each byte in the transaction counted as 4 'weight' units. Now with segwit, the TransactionWitness is counted as 1 weight unit per byte, while other parts of the transaction (outputs, inputs, locktime etc) count as 4 weight units. As we add more witness versions, this may be subject to change. BIP 141 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/5961b23898ee7c0af2626c46d5d70e80136578d3/src/consensus/validation.h#L96

6.  case class SatoshisPerKiloByte(currencyUnit: CurrencyUnit) extends BitcoinFeeUnit with Product with Serializable

   KiloBytes here are defined as 1000 bytes.

7.  case class SatoshisPerVirtualByte(currencyUnit: CurrencyUnit) extends BitcoinFeeUnit with Product with Serializable

   A 'virtual byte' (also known as virtual size) is a new weight measurement that was created with segregated witness (BIP141).

   A 'virtual byte' (also known as virtual size) is a new weight measurement that was created with segregated witness (BIP141). Now 1 'virtual byte' has the weight of 4 bytes in the org.bitcoins.core.protocol.transaction.TransactionWitness of a org.bitcoins.core.protocol.transaction.WitnessTransaction
