when I firstly verified electrum using this tutorial, I wasn't completely sure of what I was doing. I was feeling secure with the replies and with the greatly described steps, but I considered the method kinda complex.
Thank you for saying that, this is actually the type of feedback I want. Would you be willing to take some time and tell me what you found to be complicated? I would really like this tutorial to be simple enough for folks who aren't what we would call "computer savvy," and those who are new to cryptography.
It can be hard for us who enjoy these types of technical projects to put things into the perspective of the masses who don't. But, we need to keep in mind that we all started someplace. No one is born with knowledge of cryptography, we all started with a lot less knowledge than we have today. I've been playing and working with computers since 1985 and considered myself among the more advanced users in my circle of acquaintances and collogues. But, when I showed up here I felt like a complete dunce. It had been nearly 20 years since I had used a Unix style OS, and found myself struggling with simple shell commands. I still get lost reading the technical boards, and realize I've only scratched the surface of how much knowledge exists here.
And, I don't think you and I are alone. Look at how many newbie accounts pop up asking pertinent, pointed technical questions. I have a feeling many of these "newbies" are actually long time members who are embarrassed to ask questions from their main account.
Or I may simply have this weirdly paranoid symptom in which you want to understand every-single-thing you're doing, on a disgustingly detailed way, such as understanding the maths behind RSA/ECC.
Lol. Don't stop.
