For those curious about the details of why you shouldn't dabble with Shamir Secret Sharing: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Shamir_Secret_Snakeoil

Choice quote from that page:

>...many attempts at SSS [Shamir Secret Sharing] have been so weak a child's speak-n-spell could crack them. Like the one-time-pad and most other cryptosystems, the security of SSS is fairly brittle. 

I respect DarthCoin, but reject dabbling in Shamir Secrets, using substitution cyphers, custom derivation paths, multisig, etc. You become your own worst enemy instead of a potential attacker.

The bitcoin that would get this treatment would be the "vault", as DarthCoin explains in this [article](https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/bitcoin-be-your-own-bank-think-like). 

This would be bitcoin you don't want to touch, except maybe to deposit to. It wouldn't be where you'd make payments from.
