Instead of "Miners have to use a lot of electricity doing "work" that is embedded as a "proof""
I propose: "Miners have to use electricity and dedicate hardware doing "work" that is embedded as a "proof""
Alphabetized terms under "Lightning Network Basic Concepts" and added Hash Function and Digital Signature as terms because they are also used in this chapter. Used glossary definitions (partial) to define in this section.
Added 2nd level heading to Scaling Blockchains and added italics to what if statement at the end of the section, which is the transition to LN.
It would be fine to maintain consistency in spelling out the numbers (provided that they are not code/math/ BTC amounts) that are < 10. I left out "8 GB" unchanged, though. "eight Gigabyte" would perhaps be more consistent, but at the same time would seem very
unusual, whereas "eight GB" just make no sense to me.
[A post about style](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/when-to-spell-out-numbers/) for the reference.
>In scientific and technical writing, the prevailing style is to write out numbers under ten. While there are exceptions to these rules, your predominant concern should be expressing numbers consistently.

Hedged with "typically" and brought up the points on opening an account as a 9-year old. Glad for John that he got his console in the end. May we all be so lucky
- I removed acronym from first sentence and put it into the second. I did not feel that it is a good start when the first sentence of the book already has an acronym.
- Removed LN acronym 4-5 times further down. It was not consistently used anyway. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I also think it reads better spelled out. So, for a book I feel it is better to spell it out 4 times, than to abbreviate it 4 times.
- removed 3 times the word "very"
- see Issue #171
- low, high, cheap, expensive: is all very relative
- set expectations right
- who knows where the fees will be in 10 years
