Has anyone compared Casa and Unchained collaborative multisig? #asknostr
Discussion
Casa is an ETH shop, Unchained is not. They cost the same.
That’s why I’m leaning towards Unchained, but wondering if there’s anything else I should consider. For example, both have inheritance plans, not sure how they differ. I think Unchained has a lending program (not that I’d use that).
Unchained is #bitcoin only
Yes and that’s huge for me, but not my only consideration 🤙
Between the two, can summarize as follows ...
1) If you want super hand holding, particularly with family, and mobile app, and don't mind mega privacy issues, go with Casa.
2) If you already understand multisig, and want collaboration for Business/Retirement account type purposes, go with Unchained.
I generally recommend Unchained
Both offer collaborative multisig, though Casa has varying levels with different annual costs. Both offer access to buy Bitcoin and stack directly into your account. The keychecks with Unchained are easier when your keys are remote compared to Casa.
Here's some notes I made from a few years ago, and some of the concerns have since been addressed
Recommend Unchained 💯
Casa wasting energy in mEtH
Unchained being fully KYC is a problem imo. I am also petty and legacy addresses drive me insane. However it is quite robust, but KYC allows you to be a target. Depends on what you care about most and your threat model. https://yakihonne.com/article/btconboard@vlt.ge/jXrGxmHlN6L8v4I5WQ3Zj
Thank you 🙏 Between the noKYC setups like Casa and Nunchuck, any thoughts?
I don’t find either to be clearly superior or inferior. They both have slightly different trade offs and bells and whistles.
If you don’t see one being clearly better for you and are just doing the 2 of 3 multisig Nunchuk is half the price so that is one clear advantage.
Just be sure to use a private email when signing up for either such as protonmail and not John.Smith@gmail.com. I’m amazed how many people don’t do that.
Best of luck! 🫡🫡
Casa here, I really like it. no kyc. Different plans for different stacks. You can ignore the ETH options by default and live a happy BTC-only life. Lopp is a legend of multisig
