Self-Custody Rankings:
#1: 3of3 Multisig
-> Make 2 copies of each seed
-> Get 2 security deposit boxes & 1 home safe
-> at 2 different banks or branches
-> Split the seeds into the 3 safes so that only 2 keys are present in each safe
-> Access to 2 out of the 3 safes gives you access to the Bitcoins, but losing access or one being corrupted doesn’t affect you.
#2: Bitkey
-> Make sure you have multiple emergency contacts setup
-> Store the Bitkey in a safety deposit box
-> For more security grab a dedicated smartphone just to host the Bitkey app & store it separately from the Bitkey in a safe
-> Setup inheritance, don’t put it off
#3: SingSig w/Pass
-> Only do this if you can’t setup the other two.

Austin’s violent crime rates have skyrocketed, people can shut this down and im all for it if thats the will of the people.
Im just not going to play dumb as if skyrocketing violent crimes in Austin isn’t a problem.
If it wasn’t clear, im more interested in hearing alternative solutions to solving &/or deterring violent crimes than anything to do with flock itself.

I hope you guys bring back a base model again that is just used to store bitcoins, even though I do appreciate the thought put into Prime.
I think its a good way to store master passwords and what not, but realistically I would be using the device as a part of a multisig so having it around isn’t the worst case scenario if I keep my seed loaded on the device.
what acronym is missing is that you can wipe your seed from the device and keep it at home in your desk, then loading the seed when needed.

@nprofile…ymh5 does the new passport prime export seedQR where you zoom into each quadrant?
Otherwise, the export as seedQR function is useless as a standalone device.
On the passport core it just shows a QR with no ability to zoom.
This forces me to use seedsigner to actually fill in a SeedQR.

The tactics used to try & push this through we're not akin to how Bitcoiners have gone about things since inception.
This one was different, it used political tactics against Bitcoin Core instead of intellectual frameworks.
That worries me more than anything, and you shouldn't be part of that resolution.
Getting your way at all costs makes sense in an emergency, but this isn't an emergency, that's what makes this fiasco reek of misinformation, misjudgements, or flat out stupidity, or worse.

Bitkey improvement recommendations:
1. Allow for a second Bitkey to hold the same wallet so you can clone the device and put it in two different locations.
2. Allow for a second App Key, I should be able to create a dedicated phone as a backup for my main phone. You need the app to create receive addresses, but I shouldn't be carrying one of my keys around me with no backup somewhere safe.
If they make these improvements I could recommend it for whole stacks with more confidence.
I like the emergency contact idea to recover the app key.
I like the idea of their inheritance planning.
They listen to feedback, hence the 2nd gen having a screen.
Hope they continue to implement user feedback because it's a good project, just not there yet fully (for me).

-> with backups spread in 3 locations but never all 3 together as to completely mitigate total loss risk.

Choosing your own passphrase is not a standardized way of ensuring a secure wallet, entropy ✅.
Creating two seeds with proper methodology provides peace of mind and redundancy.
Tbh 3of3 is even better if you want to geographically separate your seeds between 3 secure locations with backups.
For ex, you have 3 safety deposit boxes:
You keep:
Seed1 & Seed2 in Box A.
Seed2 & Seed3 in Box B.
Seed1 & Seed 3 in Box C.
Backups:
Seed1 exists 2x in both Boxes A&C
Seed2 exists 2x in Box A&B
Seed3 exists 2x in Box B&C
Scenarios:
Box A becomes corrupted.
- Seed1,2,3 exists in Boxes B&C
Funds are safe ✅
Box B burns to the ground.
- Seed 1,2,3 exists in Boxes A&C
Funds are safe ✅
Box C gets robbed.
-Seed 1,2,3 exists in Boxes A&B
Funds are safe ✅

Upgrading from singlesig toa 2of2 multisig makes a lot of sense.
1 seed could be derived from a device you purchase, like foundation or Trezor.
1 seed could be derived from your own physical non digital entropy like the physical BIP39 word list.
If you buy a seedsigner they give you the ability to roll 100 dice or use their camera to generate your own physical entropy.
Essentially giving you two sets of 24 words, with each set having its own unique entropy & randomness during creation.
You can then store this as you did your single sig setup, for example in a safety deposit box.

2026-08-06 15:54:45 UTC

Do you plan executing a multisig?
A 2of2 or 3of3 is a good option for a lot of single sig users.
You just have to keep your seeds with multiple backups and you don't need to worry about the configuration file that alot people allude to with multisig.
Only if you have a 2of3 or 3of5, when the N of M doesn't match do you have to worry about the configuration file if you lose one of your seeds.
Any multisig setup doesn't need the configuration file if you have all of the seeds used to setup the wallet.
If you don't plan on executing a multisig, I want to know why not?
