Use precise terminology

"Signature" can be confused for a cryptographic signature.

 1. Input the standard [ERC-20](https://ercs.ethereum.org/ERCS/erc-20) functions `transfer`, `transferFrom`, and `approve`. You can copy the function definition directly from your Solidity code without modification.
 2. Adjust "Minimum number of zero bytes" to the desired number of zero bytes to mine for. Check out [`4-byte-gas-test`](https://4-byte-gas.ardis.lu/) for a comparison of gas costs between functions with zero bytes.

 4. Click "Start all" and the tool will start mining for optimized function names (each function is mined using its own [web worker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API), so they are mined in parallel).
