opentezos doesn't have this kind of info so this PR adds it to the new Using section, intended for Tezos consumers.

Also, we might want to list Airgap as well? https://airgap.it/#download

They have a rather unique approach for a cold/hot wallet.

Many wallet applications provide a recovery code that you can use to restore the account if you lose the wallet application or the device that it is on.
You must also keep this recovery phrase secret.

I think we are mixing two concepts here:

  • Recovery phrases / secret keys associated associated with an account (or the many accounts that can be derived from that key pair)
  • Other recovery/ backup mechanisms supported by Wallet apps (e.g. Ledger recover)

How about this:

Many wallet applications provide a way to recover the account if you lose the wallet application or the device that it is on. You must also keep this recovery information secret.

It would be worth it, I think, to briefly list these main recovery modes, which are wallet seed phrases, private keys of addresses, and "other proprietary systems". It's obvious to us, but perhaps less so for our readers.

Changed this to:

Many wallet applications provide a way to recover the account if you lose the wallet application or the device that it is on. Some wallets provide recovery codes in the form of a series of words, others recreate accounts from private keys, and others have proprietary recovery methods. You must also keep this recovery information secret.

If you need funds for transaction fees on the test network, you can get them for free from the faucet, as described in [Funding a wallet](/developing/wallet-setup#funding-a-wallet).

After you approve the transaction and wait a minute or two, you can see it in your wallet's history and on the block explorer.

This is outdated. You should see your transaction in less than 20 seconds now

Removed mention of time; I don't want to get into block confirmation here and there may be more time before the explorer shows it.
