Fix formatting

Looks correct to me, I checked it against various Unix time converters

minor formatting fix

Add comment explaining that these are guidelines for the normal and expected process.
Developers can and should deviate from them when they have good reason to do so.

Looks good to me :)

I Googled "gradient-free economy", it has no hits. So I still think that's a term best avoided.

I have a few issues with the wording:

• "fair money" is needlessly ambiguous, and can be interpreted as something other than "sound money". Some people don't think sound money is "fair", and favor things like demurrage for example
• "gradient-free economy" is not a common term, and people won't know what it means
• Should avoid using the first-person "we" as much as possible
• I don't think it's necessary to get into what was the mission of the "original bitcoin team".

Looks good.

Clarify Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Core

Add description of Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin

Tested sending on mainnet with and without prefix, with and without -usecashaddr

As someone looking to contribute, I'm really glad I stumbled on this PR! I will go through the "Getting set up" steps later today and report back if I run into any issues or see ways in which the documentation would be clearer (of course please don't wait for me to go ahead and merge, I can always make my own diff later if necessary). One thing that seems to be missing, from my perspective as a potential contributor is, what do I work on? I could go and look through the list of tasks on Phabricator, but I'd rather get an idea of what other devs are working on and what they feel is important to be done (and of course other devs can get a feel for my skillset and help point me in a more effective direction). What would be a good way to ask what to work on, is there a chat room or a mailing list or something? And if there is, could we add it to this guide?

There is a README.md in the root of the repository. There is also usually a CONTRIBUTING.md or something similar there. It would be worthwhile to move some of this, or direct people to this, from there. (See: https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines)

I checked the parameters on mainnet and testnet, they are good.
