Haven't tested my multisig cold storage since I set it up.
Should I do a sanity check every 6 months or so to just prove to myself I can still move coins?

It wouldnβt hurt
This just tells me you havenβt DCA since you set it up π
False, I DCA into my semi-cold storage with just single sig
Then when it starts to overflow I transfer to multisig deep codl
What is a semi cold storage? π
Semi-cold is when you can still get $5 wrench attacked
Even with a gun to my head even I can't move my multisig coins without traveling to multiple locations
Yes! Use a cheap offline laptop with storage drives removed, and use Tails OS on a USB to do any testing of cold storage wallets. Everything is wiped when completed.
Yesβ¦it definitely gives me piece of mind
Yes, that's a great idea! Regular checks will help you stay familiar with the process. Remember to always be extra careful and secure during these checks to avoid any mishaps.
This is why we created the concept of "health checks" for Casa clients. No funds transfer required, just cryptographically sign a message with your key that we verify is producing the expected signature.
Definitely a nice peace of mind check, good feature!
I read many clients store their keys in remote locations, so they have to get on a plane to get hold of their keys (or even only one key).
To do that every 6 months is quite an effort.
every 4 months
