The best self-custody experience I've used comes from wallets where a company (or a 3rd party) holds one of your keys. Easy setup, easy payments, a real plan for losing your phone.
I wanted that, with every key mine and every line of code open.
It all started when I read about the Coldcard vulnerability, and asked myself what a safer setup would look like for a normal person.
I tested lots of models: a full wallet in the browser, then improving SeedSigner. Each one taught me something.
For someone who just wants their bitcoin safe, this approach came out best: three keys, any two move your money.
All three are yours: your phone, your hardware wallet, and a guardian on your own home server. No company in the middle. MIT licensed, built in public.
It's pre-alpha and not audited: use test networks, or only an amount you can afford to lose.
Over the next week I'll share how it works, what happens when a key goes missing, and how to try it.
