I tried to do some testing with a multisig a few months ago and it did not go well. As a result I haven't switched to multisig yet. Here is what I wanted to test:
Create a 2/3 multi-sig, but use 1 signing device from a friend, and the other 2 be my signing devices.
Be able to use software like Sparrow to sign a PSBT myself and then send it to the friend for them to sign in a situation where I lost one of my signing devices.
The idea being that I could use my friend's signing device as a recovery option if I lost 1 of my signing devices. Using all the technology that already exists we should be able to do all this over the internet.
Idk if the issue was they were on a Mac or what but we were never able to actually successfully sign a PSBT and broadcast it. I could do it locally when I tested with 3 signing devices, but when I would sign a PSBT and send it to them Sparrow had issues with signing it.
I would say 3/4 of my bitcoins is in a multisig, the rest is in a single Sig, and a small amount in a software wallet. I have also a bit of gold, since in Asia it is easily exchanged thanks to Chinese people.
Yeah but I'm not too crazy on it is it necessary no is it useful though for sure depends on your level of responsibility I didn't get too complicated with it it's all a matter if you just create multiple copies of your keys and separate them there's different levels of multi sig but the 2 of 3s and 3 of 5s stuff while I appreciate it it's not that critical just my thoughts
I have a multisig 2/3 love the set up! Not liking the fees right now to condense my 50 UTXO’s though and I guess that consolidation costs more sats with a multi sig.
