user80705: I sent some btc to a btc address, and each time I send btc, it splits into two addresses, only one of them is the real destination address. The recipient said he has not received the btc yet. I checked blockchain info, it shows the destination address (spent) but the other address as (unspent). This is normal, right? When the recipient's wallet address shows spent in the blochain explorer - does it mean that the btc has already appeared in his wallet?
Thanks in advance!

user63872: The second address your transaction sent to is called a ‘change address’. If you search that term on this site you can learn about what a change address is.
Here is a breakdown of the different status’ blockchain.info reports on their block explorer website:

if it says ‘unconfirmed’, that means transaction is not yet confirmed (not yet included in a block)
if it says ‘unspent’, that means the transaction went through, and the funds are still sitting in that address
If it says ‘spent’, that means the transaction went through, and the recipient has already moved the funds to another new address
