 == Features
 
-* new HTTP REST API available in addition to standard websocket access, simplifying writing applications and tools, and building a standard API method set for future extensions for more flexible features
+* new HTTP REST API available in addition to standard websocket access, simplifying writing applications and tools, and building a standard API method set for future extensions for more flexible features.
 * a lot of other bits and pieces accumulated from nearly 8 years of working with Go, logging and run control, XDG user data directories (windows, mac, linux, android)
-* a cleaned up and unified fork of the btcd/dcred BIP-340 signatures, including the use of bitcoin core's BIP-340 implementation (more than 4x faster than btcd) (todo: ECDH from the C library tbd)

 * AVX/AVX2 optimized SHA256 and SIMD hex encoder
-* https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1[libsecp256k1]-enabled signature and signature verification (see link:p256k/README.md[here])
+* https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1[libsecp256k1]-enabled signature and signature verification (see link:p256k/README.md[here]).
 * efficient, mutable byte slice based hash/pubkey/signature encoding in memory (zero allocation decode from wire, can tolerate whitespace, at a speed penalty)
-* custom badger based event store with an optional garbage collector that deletes least recent once the store exceeds a specified size access, and data encoded using a more space efficient format based on the nostr canonical json array event form
-* link:cmd/vainstr[vainstr] vanity npub generator that can mine a 5 letter suffix in around 15 minutes on a 6 core Ryzen 5 processor using the CGO bitcoin core signature library
