   Not sure it is appropriate to have to update this doc for every halving, also the descriptor uses tpub, which is for test networks? So the halving heights are unclear anyway. Finally, the checksum doesn’t match, so this will fail regardless.

   I’ll get the corresponding checksum just in case.

   I’d say it would be best to have one static string that never needs to change in the future and is only touched at most once more.

   NACK

   It’s an example, it doesn’t need to be updated to always be valid in the current chain context.

   Closing for now. This should be an easy doc-fixup, but it has been in draft for weeks with unaddressed feedback.
