I'm trying to understand the concept of proof of payment in the context of Bitcoin. Specifically, I want to know what constitutes as valid proof that a 
Bitcoin transaction has been made and how this proof can be verified.

    This cryptographic proof serves as an unalterable record, ensuring the authenticity of the payment.

    Depending on the type of proof, it can reveal the identities involved, specifically the public keys of the sender and receiver.

    Additional details pertaining to the payment, like a comprehensive invoice, can also be encapsulated within this proof.

    However, it's worth noting that not every proof of payment offers these extensive features.
