I worked on an update to the current documentation in branch doc/9713-electrum-2.5. I tried to combined everybody's input while sticking to the minimum as per our guidelines.
I'm sorry I won't reply inline to the different topics raised in this thread, but here is a summary: 1. Give more emphasis on external backup of the seed in addition to using persistence, as suggested by s7r. 2. Apply the grammar fixes and phrasings suggested by Michael. 3. Make the warning about SPV less scary and more useful by focusing on transaction confirmation. I was quite convinced by the details provided by s7r but tell me if I misinterpreted something. 4. Add a tip about mBTC. I didn't include s7r's suggestion to explain better what an Electrum server is, what it can do and what it cannot do. I think this is out of the scope in the Tails doc, while it clearly fits better in the upstream doc. I understand that some of your points were specific to Tails, but still, I think we found a configuration in Tails that doesn't make the security discussion radically different than outside of Tails (which was the goal). If we think this discussion about the Tails context is worth been written somewhere it should be done in our design documentation. But honestly, I feel very lazy to do this and I'm not sure it's worth it. Tell me what you think or if I missed anything. And thanks for your patience and for doing the research and discussion without me. _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
