e60b823854 Fixing off-by-one dice target, and adding more precision to the outcome. 
The minimum target cannot be 2, because you can't throw
a pair of dice and get a value less than 2.

ch08.asciidoc I specified where UTXO pool is stored in Bitcoin Core to avoid confusion 
When came across this paragraph I assumed, thinking "some [other than Bitcoin Core] implementations of the bitcoin client" that Bitcoin Core does not store its UTXO pool anywhere. I did [some research] (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/102267/where-in-bitcoin-are-mempool-and-utxo-pools-written) and it turns out that it does. Providing 
such a detail to the readers would help avoid unnecessary confusion.

"verack message" instead of "verack" 
The reader was not introduced to the term verack earlier - 'verack' appears only once in this chapter. Thus, "verack message" seems more readable.

ch.02: Let us not be too assuming about the gender of "each miner" 
It is too assuming to suppose that the gender of "each miner" is masculine. Hence I propose to use [singular they](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they). More on singular they [here](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/use-the-singular-they/).
'He' was substituted with 'they' only when it refers to "each miner", i.e. miners in general, and not when it refers to Jing. In the latter case I have left he unchanged.

Nit: exponentially -> significantly 
In the dice rolling example, because there are only two dice, the phrase 'exponentially more' could cause confusion. It feels better to be a bit handwavy here and just say 'significantly more'.

chp04: xref <<vanity_minor_code>> seems better for note on std:random_device 
Because 'std::random_device' appears in xref vanity_miner_code as opposed to xref vanity_miner_run, it feels more appropriate to use the former in this note.

ch04: Fix mathematical terms 
1. EC multiplication is a "one-way" function, not a "trapdoor" one.
There is no information that makes reverse function easy.
See:
  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function
  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function

2. The "discrete logarithm" is more usual term for the reverse operation
for EC multiplication.
