I don’t really know enough about it to have an opinion, although most of the technical- and security-minded bitcoiners I’ve heard mention it suggest it’s not a great solution.

Couldn’t tell you why, though.

I really struggle to understand the difference of the risks between Shamir and 3-5 multisig. In my understanding it all boils down to having 3 private keys

My sense was that it makes recovery harder for the owner without creating significantly greater hurdles for a thief. But again I really don’t know enough about it

I think #[3]​ is a fan of 3-5 multisig. 3 private keys ftw?
