 ## About the images
 
-These images are built with support for the following platforms:

-The Debian-based (non-alpine) images use pre-built binaries pulled from bitcoincore.org or bitcoin.org (or both) as availability dictates. These binaries are built using the Bitcoin Core [reproducible build](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/guix/README.md) system, and signatures attesting to them can be found in the [guix.sigs](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs) repo. Signatures are checked in the build process for these docker images using the [verify_binaries.py](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/verify-binaries) script from the bitcoin/bitcoin git repository.

-The alpine images are built from source inside the CI.
-
-The nightly master image is currently alpine-based, source-built, and targeted at the linux/amd64 platform.

+- The images are aimed at testing environments (e.g. for downstream or bitcoin-adjacent projects), as it is non-trivial to verify the authenticity of the bitcoin core binaries inside.
+  - When using Bitcoin Core software for non-testing purposes you should always ensure that you have either: i) built it from source yourself, or ii) verfied your binary download (see [this page](https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/) for more information on how to do this).
