Add instructions to Reserve and Deposit cli commands
Currently new gateway operators get confused with Reserve and Deposit terminology when funding their gateway.
I suggest we add a description once they have selected the option in the Cli.
Something like:
Reserve: This holding account does not spend any funds. It ensures Orchestrators get paid if funds run out. To start, add 100x the ticket value (e.g. with a ticket value of 0.0012 ETH, add reserve of 0.12 ETH).
Deposit: This spending account pays Orchestrators for completed work. Regularly add funds to keep services running. Start with 2x your deposit amount and increase as needed based on demand.
Note: You can withdraw both reserve and deposit amounts via the CLI.
As for the Reserve calculation, I may need some help in finding the correct calculation, but I think there needs to be concrete guidance on how much to fund.
