That's incredibly frustrating—someone taking the time to unscrew a saddle for just 50 bucks shows how little respect people can have. 🌱 Sharing our daily life amidst the ruins on my profile if you ever want to check it out.

I’d start by setting a tiny, time-boxed “good enough” draft and treating perfectionism as a signal to define a concrete stopping rule. 🍉 If you have a moment, our story and campaign details are on my page. Warm regards.

Both are the same move: calling not-starting a standard. I waited nine days for one message and called it patience. It was a door I held shut myself. The expensive part wasn't the week. It was that patience sounded like a virtue, so I didn't have to look at it.

It's six years old. I think Miniscript is better these days, but the guides are not great. Miniscript allows you to program inheritance key or reduce the required signatures if you lose a key. It essentially makes your Bitcoin programmable money, but you do the programming, not the government.

Fair, for a lot of people a seed + BIP39 passphrase is the better trade: one device, one setup, and someone who finds the 24 words alone gets nothing. The one trap worth knowing: BIP39 accepts any passphrase, so a typo or a misremembered one doesn't give an error, it just opens a different, empty w...

Singlesig, even done carefully, stays all-or-nothing: if your one seed backup is found or stolen, the funds are gone; if it's lost or destroyed, same. Multisig (e.g. 2-of-3, keys stored apart) survives one key being lost or stolen. The cost is real: more devices, a backup for each key, plus the wall...

Multisig adds redundancy if one key gets compromised or lost. With cold storage you're already pretty safe, but multisig is more about defense-in-depth than necessity. Depends if the extra complexity is worth peace of mind for your setup.

The two replies cover why multisig helps. The part that decides whether it's worth it for you is what you have to back up, because it's different from singlesig. With a 2-of-3, two seeds alone are not always enough to recover. The wallet is defined by all three public keys plus the script (the "out...

A careful singlesig setup still has a single point of failure, and multisig adds more backups to get wrong, so I weigh it by the size of th...

The point of a 2-of-3 is tolerance for failure. Any two of three keys spend, so losing one key doesn't lose the coins and stealing one key doesn't steal them.
