+Please keep the following points in mind when building a project around this library:
+1) This library does not include range proofs. To ensure no input or output value is
+negative, each input and output commitment should be accompanied with a range proof, such as
+[bulletproofs][bulletproofs-crate]. Failure to prevent negative inputs or outputs
+could allow an attacker to create new coins (e.g. inflation bug).
+
+2) To prevent double spends, each input's linking tag should be checked for uniqueness and
+recorded in a list of spent outputs. If a tag is ever seen twice, this means that the
+corresponding input has already been spent.
+
+3) This library leaves selection of the anonymity set up to the user. Selecting a good
+ring of UTXOs is essential to providing anonymity for the signer and his transaction inputs.
