…iew) style.

Commiting this small update now to make sure the repo managers are ok with this kind of change.
In Bitcoin's case the distributed database is conceived of as a table of account balances, a ledger, and transactions are transfers of the bitcoin token to facilitate trustless finance between individuals. But as bitcoin began attracting greater attention from developers and technologists, novel projects began to use the bitcoin network for purposes other than transfers of value tokens. Many of these took the form of "alt coins" - separate blockchains with cryptocurrencies of their own which improved on the original bitcoin protocol to add new features or capabilities. In late 2013, Ethereum's inventor Vitalik Buterin proposed that a single blockchain with the capability to be reprogrammed to perform any arbitrarily complex computation could subsume these many other projects.

since 90% of the headings were already first-letter-capitalized and all subsequent non-proper nouns uncapitalized, that's what i went with
removed 'presale wallet' documentation...i assume that by now anyone who had one has already followed this procedure.  Also, the documentation on that exists elsewhere
@@ -301,43 +309,6 @@ Now let's make sure it worked properly by listing the keys in the wallet:

It reports one key on each line (for a total of one key here). In this case our key is stored in a file 055dde... and has an ICAP address beginning XE472EVK.... Not especially easy things to remember so rather helpful that it has its proper name, test, too.
