- replace "capacity" with "funds to reduce tech jargon - replaced 2-2 with 2-out-of-2 for consistency and to clarify - everyone --> singular .. its funds .. not their funds - "wallet" wrong, "address" better - avoid "flaw", it might get misinterpreted, rephrased to clearly state that we present the design step-by-step - "you probably have realized" and "hope you recognize that" puts the reader in a bind. If the reader does not see the problem we will feel "dumb" because the text implies "probably you realized". I suggest to rewrite it so, that the reader does not feel "dumb" just because he does not see the shortcut. --> see changes - however requires comma - avoid extremes like "rather high", use facts and measurable units, here simply "high" - "to lose funds" incorrect, "loose" is correct - took one long sentence and split it up into several short one making understanding a lot simpler - etc |
