Not sure about why we have three URLs all pointing to the same article, so I removed two of those

Thanks, @shamisem ! Great questions and answers. Succinct and super clear.

I have only minor suggestions.

  • Is it FAQ or FAQs? I understand the "Q" stands for "questions" (plural), but a few searches on Google indicate the "Qs" form is more common.
  • Please, don't use the bold typeface for the whole title. Something like "Status Wallet FAQ" works.
  • You can include Status Web as well, after mobile and desktop :) Repo is here: status-im/status-web: Embeddable, customizable and themable component for your Community. (github.com).
  • "Status Wallet can only be used for Ethereum-based assets." -> What do you think about using the active form? "You can only use Status Wallet for Ethereum-based assets".
  • "This includes Ether (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens, ..." -> Maybe "This includes Ether (ETH) and other ERC-20 tokens, ..." so it's clear ETH is an ERC-20 token.
  • One of the first questions a user may have is, "is Status Wallet secure?". It's difficult to answer because, although we open-source our code and make everything possible to keep users' funds secure, nothing is 100% secure. User actions can also make the most secure software unsafe. We can use the following information to clarify this question:
    • Status Wallet is open source and non-custodial.
    • We don't use third-party services to store public or private keys.
    • Your keys are encrypted by your Status password (that only you should know).
    • Transactions only occur after they're confirmed on the device.

Thanks @jorge-campo! Great tips.

All done, except for the Ether/ERC-20 part (as we discussed). I've also replaced 'FAQs' with 'FAQ' in other articles and will be adding a note about this choice to our style guide.
