After seeing Sparrow wallet passed all audits with flying colors and reading more about how Sparrow handles the BIP39 passphrase and protects private keys I’m curious why a software wallet (via Sparrow) with a strong passphrase isn’t a viable long-term solution?
Or at minimum at least viable as one (convenient) key in a 2/3 multi sig setup.
Can people who understand this stuff on a technical level explain what I am missing in the trade offs? #asknostr
