 ================== HOW TO CONFIGURE THE BANK =================
 
 The bank obeys to the INI syntax for configuration files. When launched, the bank
 will by default look for a configuration file located at ~/.config/taler.conf.
-To overide this behaviour, give the -c option when launching the bank.
+To override this behaviour, give the -c option when launching the bank.
 
 In order to properly run, the bank needs the following parts to be configured
 
 * Database name: connection string for the database to be used, currently Postgresql.
-* Serving: whether we want the bank accessible via TCP or unix domain sockets.
-* Fractional precision: precision of the fractional part of Taler objects.
-* Fractional length: how many digits after the floating point we want to be shown
-  in HTML pages.
 * Debt thresholds
 * Suggested exchange
+* Serving: is UWSGI over unix sockets in the example below.
