 ##### Notes:
 
-1. This is to prevent an extortion attack on the current highest bidder, by threatening to reveal a new second highest bid. This forces all bids to be revealed.
+1. This incentivizes all bids to be revealed in time. If bids could be revealed late, an extortion attack on the current highest bidder could be made by threatening to reveal a new second highest bid.
 2. A bid which remains sealed after more than 2 weeks and 5 days may be cancelled by anyone to collect a small reward.
 2. Since names are hashed before auctioning and registration, the Initial Registrar is unable to enforce character length restrictions independently. A reward is therefore provided for reporting invalid names.
