One question: "Scalability is achieved by using (trustless) Turing-complete state channels"

I can't understand why you use trustless here? Trustless means distrustful or untrustworthy in dictionary.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trustless
Definition of trustless
1:  not deserving of trust :  faithless
2:  distrustful

https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/trustless
Synonyms distrustful, dubious, hinky [slang], mistrustful, skeptical, suspicious, doubtful, uncertain, unconvinced, undecided, unsettled, unsure

This trustless does not mean distrustful or untrustworthy here, you misunderstand the meaning. Trustless here is a positive word, means no need to trust, not negative like untrustworthy in dictionary. I am not the dev, but I understand trustless in this way.

Correct me if I am incorrect, devs.
