Securely storing your coins with the Tordl Wallet Protocols

The Tordl Wallet Protocols are holistic open-source guides on how to create and use secure bitcoin wallet setups. The protocols consider things like security against theft, safety against accidents, and inheritance. Some of the protocols can be resilient against the $5 wrench attack.

I was partially inspired by the Glacier Protocol to create this, though I wanted a guide that was easier to extend and that others could build off of.

The protocols are aimed at tech-savvy people but you do not need to be an expert to use them by any means. The protocols are also designed in modular pieces, kind of like a software module, so that other projects can point to an individual protocol as part of their own guidance. Some of the pages even have a "variable parameters" section that defines what choices need to be decided on to use the guidance on that page.

I'm looking for a couple things from the community:

Reviewers to go through it, find mistakes, potential security holes, and other ways the project could be improved.

Contributors who can help actually write improvements and potentially be co-owners on the project.

Ideas on how to find contributors or people who could help me move this project along.

Please take a look and tell me what you think, either here or on github issues.
