Prior to taproot, single sig fees were cheaper, and one could distinguish single sig addresses from multisig which kind of defeated plausible deniability.

I’ll keep hitting you with a wrench until we find all m-of-n.

After smashing 24 seed words x 6 sets… I’m going to need some incentive or incident to change. That’s probably the biggest downside. 6 backups is a lot to hammer into washers.

at the time, I told my girl, “this is why they call it proof of work”

Also, the wallet that all 3 keys combine to reveal, that can also be a dummy wallet that you can preload with a honey pot, and then add a 25th word passphrase for your REAL wallet.

Now we got SeedXOR + 25th word with 4 alarms at 3 locations for 2 “levels” of wallets.

I did use multisig beforehand, but i geeked when I found out about SeedXOR. Again, taproot probably changes things a bit, but I haven’t looked at that yet.

😂 I empathise with the hammering. My neighbours must wonder wtf I’m up to.

Yeah. It’s complicated. My paranoia would be the complexity it adds to inheritance planning. Building a dead man switch explaining a multisig quorum when the signing devices are already configured in their distributed location is … way easier 😅

True. Giving a key to a lawyer, one to a husband/wife, and keeping one for yourself is 100x easier to inherit than giving someone a worksheet and saying “do math”

My keys will most likely go to the grave with me, but I’m pestering #[4]​ and #[5]​ to add SeedXOR every once in a while. Will be amazing. Like super amazing.

I love SeedXOR but I basically just use it so I have to do less hammering for lower value seeds. 1 backup = 3 seeds for eg, rather than as an alternative to multisig - which is kind of how it’s mostly positioned it seems

SeedXOR doesn’t mean less hammering but more. I recommend checking out SeedXOR.com

Less if I use one steel-plate as a back-up of 3 or however many deterministically split seeds

How can you use one plate to back up of 3 deterministically split seeds when there are a near infinite amount of possible combinations?
