 ===============
 
 *This guide is out of date. Since it was written, the `ord` binary was changed
-to only build the full satoshi index when the `--index-satoshis` flag is
-supplied. Additionally, `ord` now has a built-in wallet that wraps a Bitcoin
-Core wallet. See `ord wallet --help`.*
+to only build the full satoshi index when the `--index-sats` flag is supplied.
+Additionally, `ord` now has a built-in wallet that wraps a Bitcoin Core wallet.
+See `ord wallet --help`.*
 
 Ordinal hunting is difficult but rewarding. The feeling of owning a wallet full
 of UTXOs, redolent with the scent of rare and exotic sats, is beyond compare.
