Thanks for filling these @bitcoinhodler

@joaofnfernandes what do think? We wanted to simplify/change some portions of the protocol, not sure if any of these fall into the portions we discussed before.

Here's the general direction I think we should take to make the protocol more accessible to new users:

Hi, I found this typo at the very bottom of the page, could be confusing.

https://glacierprotocol.org/docs/deposit/generate-cold-storage-data/

If there are any discrepancies, do not proceed. ... If they are different by more than 3 characters, restart the Deposit Protocol. If the are identical, restart the Deposit Protocol.

This should read "If they are not are identical, restart the Deposit Protocol."

This should read "If they are not are identical, restart the Deposit Protocol."

This is incorrect. The context here is that the two quarantined laptops have generated different keys from (what should be) the same entropy. There are three possibilities outlined: (i) different by 1-3 characters; (ii) different by more than 3 characters; and (iii) identical.

Possibility (i) is due to a simple transcription error and can be safely corrected. Possibilities (ii) and (iii) are not explained so easily, so the solution is to restart the entire protocol.

The case where they are not identical is already covered by the combination of (i) and (ii).

Though we should fix "the" to "they".

This is also GlacierProtocol#7.
