Most people will not read the White Paper.
My argument is not that "don't trust verify" is not a better alternative to the Bitkey. My argument that trusting the Bitkey has less counterparty risk than ETF's or bitcoin backed securities.
Discussion
That's fair I suppose 🤔
I’ll add my dumbass opinion and say that my wife can easily send a transaction with a Bitkey (obviously not a perfect device in many ways).
She looks at me like I’m a mad scientist/wizard when we walk through broadcasting a multisig transaction using other signing devices. 🤷🏼♂️
Have you done that multisig workflow with SeedSigner & SeedQRs?
We’ve played with SeedSigner. It’s a really good option. Not much I haven’t gotten my hands on at this point.
Youve setup a multisig with seedQR?
Have not.
Reading through it now. I see more playing around about to happen. I’ve got a Passport Prime set to arrive some point in the near future as well (or so Foundation would have me believe 😂).
It's superior to everything else.
Print the templates and use bluewallet to take it for a test-drive.
I'd also recommend printing the Bip39 word list to make the seeds by mixing it up and pulling the words randomly as you mix & write em down.
Then use the SeedSigner to obtain the 12th or 24th word(s).
Once you have this setup you'll see the power of this method & why its going to be the future & standard of multisig.
You also won't be locked in to just using the SeedSigner if you want to diversify your device quorum - Foundation Passport & Blockstream Jade have already adopted the standard.
I just saw the blockstream setup. Not a company I’ve messed with yet. I’ll wait on the Passport and have a play.
You don't need either, just the SeedSigner.
I actually think a SeedSigner only multisig is the way for most people.
You can store 3seeds at once & sign away.
Re:
Scan 3 seedQRs and sign the TX you created on bluewallet.
This UX is incredible and takes a few minutes only.
Unrelated, but I always come back around to this thought and can’t find anything.. physical token for gifting bitcoin that’s not an opendime. Seems like a missed opportunity for unique gifting. Maybe I’m just missing the obvious solution. 🤷🏼♂️
It's totally related.
I created a wallet, made a seedQR, sent Bitcoin to it & gave it to a friend as a gift.
I told him I could always steal his coins in this wallet and that he should create his own, I included a blank seedQR card & told him to build a SeedSigner or buy a device that supports seedQR.
Education & a gift in one.
I don’t hate this at all. The final step being to present the QR as a coin or something tangible beside the seedQR template card.
nostr:nprofile1qqsy54jlyesevjh0pslws7ueexjhxx4gmk9gqvn0j6jxl4ljql5xzwspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7pm2enc 3d printed Bitcoin "coin" cases for a seedQR is a good idea.
.. Or print the QR as the “tails” side of a standard bitcoin coin. This would be a cool gift.
DIY for obvious reasons. The coin case for retail.
I’ve arrived at the “is it possible” to stamp this QR into steel phase of this rabbit hole. Thanks. 😂
