Public Key is the key that is shared to the sender and the world. Example: 18J6ai34uzGofUuzbiwhXJzKzdx1efDBqA. Whereas Private Key is the key which is used to access the funds received on Public Key.

Please, correct this in your post. If you done your guide to get merits, then you can leave it as is. But if you think, that some JS developer may read it and try to do something using your guide, then you don't have any other possibility except to chenge it.

18J6ai34uzGofUuzbiwhXJzKzdx1efDBqA is an address (abstract term) which is double hash of public key. (!!!)

For anyone who wrote at least 1 line of code in their life it's obvious that such incorrect information will result in butthurt. You shouldn't   misunderstand people who will try to use you guide. Thanks

The later review will appear soon

Glad you came by. Thanks for your edits, I made necessary changes in introduction as well as point (1) i.e. the definition of Public Address. Please check and tell me if anything else needed correction. While writing such lengthy guide, it is normal to do such mistakes. As I said earlier, this guide have over 21K characters and I manually typed each line.

PS: I am never looking for merits. If I was really a merit hunter then you would most probably be seeing 2000+ merits on my profile, it won't be difficult for me. However, I don't have such temptations.
