Adds a text about instant transaction risks and confirmations in the "You need to know" page. This text is based on what can already be found in "Vocabulary", "Businesses" and "Developers". Moving it to "You need to know" is likely to give more visibility to this text in a more appropriate context.

A shorter version is left on the "Businesses" page, where it remains relevant, given that businesses receive a lot of payments from users they can't trust.

The follow points are added in a concise way:

  • This risk requires a dishonnest user.
  • More confirmations exponentially increases security.
  • 6 confirmations or more is good for larger amounts.
