Thanks for the suggestions, the guide has been updated.

Regarding your other concerns, we'll address those with more complicated margin requirements for new contracts and multi-sig Bitcoin transactions. For now, you can just set an extremely high price limit for buying puts in exchange for the tail risk you're taking on.

Edit: buying, not selling

According to my understanding of your materials, one isn't taking on tail-risk if one is writing puts on your site. In actuality, the price you require to write puts should be lower than if you were writing real puts, not higher.
